The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why some people use not instead of zero?
That makes sense. Do you know of any situations where it would be more appropriate to use "not" instead of "zero"?
It really depends on the context and the intent of the speaker. In some situations, using "not" can be more diplomatic or tactful, as it recognizes the existence of the thing being discussed while simply acknowledging that the speaker has not experienced it. In other situations, using "zero" can be more precise and straightforward, particularly if the speaker wants to emphasize the complete absence of the thing being discussed.
