      That.. looks like a normal sentence to me, and very probably one of the ones Microsoft required they add.

      Did you give the article a once-over beyond that? It’s one of the decidedly not-AI lines.

        Prefixing saying something with "Two quick notes first" is extremely common AI meta commentary. You may be right that it is something Microsoft insisted he put at the top, which would also explain the weird style.

          From where do you think AI learned that?

            All AI semantic tendencies were “learned” from us. That doesn’t change anything.

            Weird user preferences during RLHF. Also how we got bulleted lists and emojis everywhere.

            Learning a phrase from humans doesn’t prevent a model from overusing it or making it a recognizable stylistic habit.
