Most of the times, nowadays - 'User Stories' and 'Requirements' used interchangeably and treated the same.
But his might lead to another antipattern in Agile Software Development.
User stories are written from the end-user point of view and they act as a starting point of the discussion. When a user story is discussed with the entire team- then specifications and ACs emerge which becomes the requirement for the development but
if the US and Requirement are considered the same - then it will lead to freezing of the requirement upfront or BA writing the entire specifications as we used to do in the waterfall. This will lead to No or low communication in the team and the quality of the software will go down.
Its always best to use the user story as starting point of the discussion with the team and then emerging it to the 'Requirement'
