Was quite interesting, especially the fact that house numbers were invented multiple times for different reasons and with different systems.
It got quite repetitive though, and I quit after roughly half of the read, when the even/odd number system was explained for the third time. Seems to be written with heavy AI assistance.

And it’s all too bloody dark!
I also take your point about the repetition. That's something I revisit and tighten up, because readability matters more than word count.
but, when I write for external publications, the style is much more traditional because I follow each publication editorial guidelines. On my own site, I experiment more with layout and presentation, which can sometimes make the pages feel different. but it look cool

If part of the reason you need LLMs to speed up the process is because you were trying to hit a word count and the typing was taking too long, it’s actively working against you!
