It feels like you did all the hard parts of the writing, and let the AI do the “grunt work” so to speak. You provided a strong premise for the fundamental thesis, a defined writing style, and made edits for style at the end. I think the process of creating the framework out of just a simple premise would be far more impressive, and that’s still where LLM’s seem to struggle in writing. It’s somewhat analogous to how models have improved at coding since gpt 4, you used to say “implement a class which allows users to reply, it should have X parameters and Y functions which do Z” and now you say “make a new feature that allows users to reply” and it just goes ahead and does it.
Maybe I am underestimating the difficulty of selecting the exact right words, and I acknowledge that the writing was pretty good and devoid of so-called “slop”, but I just don’t think this is extremely impressive as a capability compared to other possible tests.
I agree that I had had all the ideas, but I hadn’t previously been able to get AIs to even do the “grunt work” of turning it into prose with anything like that level of quality!
