You are absolutely right!

- It is not X. It is Y.

- X [negate action] Y. X [action] Z.

The titles are giveaways too: Comfort Over Correctness, Consensus As Veto, The Nuance, Responsibility Without Authority, What Changes It. Has that bot taste.

If you want I can compile a list of cases where this doesn't happen. Do you want me to do that?

As someone who thinks very much like TFA, I often write like that. I swear I'm not a bot.

    Maybe fix your writing then. This is not good writing.

      Neither is Vonnegut's (which your short, choppy sentences reminded me of), but he was a very successful and beloved author. I'm in no way comparing myself to Vonnegut, but my point is just because it doesn't appeal to you, it doesn't mean it isn't good.

      Writing is art. Does it get the intended point across? Does it resonate with the reader? Does it make them feel something? Then it is good.
