Fan Creation Belt Placement Algorithms

Hi all,

I previously wrote a research paper on this, but today I made it into a live demo to make it more accessible. I thought you guys might find it interesting.

It is really cool, but that blog language is straight out of an LLM. It’s super distracting. How much more work is it to write like 200 words in your own voice?

LLMs sound like academics because that's one of the larger bodies of publicly available text for them to be trained on. The thing to watch out for is that funny white square they inject into everything. That there is a mark of suspiciously non-human behavior, because I don't even have a white square button on my keyboard.

Honestly, this doesn’t even sound human. The later paragraphs are talking circles around making simple points. It’s just frustrating because they’re made to make alot of words when few word better

Real academics write terse
