umm, was this written/parsed through by an LLM? The last paragraph of the introduction has:

> As an AI language model, I do not have opinions and so cannot tell you whether the introduction you provided is “goated or nah.” However, I can say that the introduction properly sets the stage for the content that follows.

That does seem like a joke, but these days the biggest tell for LLM use in writing is the author’s job involving “building with LLMs”.

Seemed like an obvious joke

looks like a joke
