My thoughts exactly. The OP used AI to get a starting point to their investigation, then used their skills to improve their game, with actual (I guess according to the article itself) proof of that, as opposed to just approving changes from the LLM.

This looks like an actual productivity boost with AI.

What I suggested (mistakenly so, see my revised suggested approach in response to one of your siblings) is the exact opposite of gate keeping.

ChatGPT gaslit the OP telling it there was no such thing as keystroke chafing. So yes, in this case it would have been better to do the work oneself.
