      It's common in AI writing because it's common in human writing. Juxtaposition is a useful rhetorical flourish.

        Fashions change; ideas that look AI-generated are out of fashion right now.

        I've never really cared about fashion.

          If something becomes a strong negative symbol, it's intelligent to recognize that because failing to do so can harm your goal, e.g. communication.

          As an extreme example of this, no one calls it a "Charlie Chaplain moustache" and if you wear one people will avoid you, no matter how much you insist it's just because you like Charlie.
