For whatever it's worth, I felt that regardless of whether it was written by a human, or AI, or AI-then-human, it was poorly written. I was going to dismiss it until I saw the links to the papers at the bottom, which I found pretty interesting and well worth the read.

The essay kind of works for me as an impressionistic context for the three papers, but without those three papers I think it's almost more confusing than it helps.
