This is where I would insert the Little Britain "Computer says no" meme.

It's pretty sad that people are suggesting we not use perfectly-good English idioms anymore just because LLMs seem to like them.

The reason LLMs seem to like them is because humans liked them first.

You could say it’s the real smoking gun. With significant blast radius.

It is also heavily associated with humans writing about things which bear load (in an xkcd #2347 sense) :)
