The first sentence in the article immediately sounds AI written and also doesn't really make sense. "I asked ChatGPT for the best AI note taking app. Seven words, no brand names." - The question was seven words? But later on the article says the prompt was "best AI note taking app 2026". I don't know if there's a name for that AI writing pattern where it says something like "(Number) x, no y." but I see it all the time. It seems similar to https://tropes.fyi/tropes/negative-parallelism
