Maybe the content is great, but the AI writing style is really grating with its staccato sentences and faux-"profoundness". Can't bear it any more, stopped reading.

"You’re not checking logic. You’re checking shape.". Ugh.

Sorry for that, everyone. I did use the AI to help me with structure and English. I thought I'd proofread and edited that enough to be readable, but apparently it still smells. I'll update the wording soon.

This and subheading like “the problem” “The feature space” bother me for reasons I can’t fully explain.

It feels like the laziest possible section separator and generally would be better with an extra space divider or something.

It’s so prevalent in AI writing.

The way things are headed, people with the ability to write on their own are going to be the hottest job in the 2030s.

Tangent, but.. It must’ve picked up the faux profoundness on LinkedIn. Those posts I find truly unreadable. It half seriously makes me think anyone being able to post anything was a bad move.
