I will rewrite this article entirely from scratch as I can no longer tell what I wrote personally versus what was AI summarized. As I cannot pull this article from the review queue, please feel free to fail this submission.
If you see a new draft with a large filesize, please do not assume it is copied from an LLM. It is not uncommon for me to do drafting in a word processor prior to posting content online.
If any falsities appear, please do not assume that it is the result of an AI hallucination. I am more than capable of making my own mistakes and drawing incorrect conclusions.
