I think ChatGPT uses it a lot because it was trained on articles that use it, just because it's a common phrase, no?. It's actually something I started saying while recording screencasts, so it just became a phrase I use often.
I think you're right, it does sound "artificial", I should avoid using it.
In the comments of my original post someone also mentioned: "These days, I personally find articles with minor grammatical errors more interesting than AI assisted/enhanced/corrected content, because AI generated content often comes off bland and loses the rawness of author's intentions.".
I agree with your points, it's amusing though that we need to adjust the way we naturally speak and keep some errors, to not appear as AI.
