I always assumed it came from Shakespeare, or something along those lines. That it actually came from putrid legalese was like finding out that my online girlfriend was an AI chatbot all along.
Eh, that page sounds like AI output, not sure I'd take their word for the origin of the phrase.
If it's not AI, it's poorly written enough to be hard to get through.
I don't get it.
It's like saying you can't enjoy a song if it's been used in a TV ad.
Being used in an ad can definitely ruin enjoyment of a song

is that better or worse than using it as an alarm clock?
