There's so much good content in here, it's a shame you sandblasted your writeup with AI. "To the verifier, it is a number with a biography" is where I veered off the road and into a culvert.
A big problem with current model AI writing is that the topic sentence of every paragraph reads like a magazine headline, and it can be tricky to catch because a lot of magazine headlines are kind of good --- when they're headlines!
Number with a biography, yeesh. :)
This was neat work, though. Thanks for sharing!
