hi there, I am the author of this post.

> commits those very sins:

you are wrong, let me explain:

1. There is nothing wrong with rhetorical questions per se - I just feel that LLMs often put them between sentences that do not require connection. I would even argue that any LLM would vote against putting the questions I wrote like this because they feel out of place. But I wanted them there.

2. "The solution isn't more polish—it's more humanity" isn't the pattern I'm referring to. The slop pattern is using "This isn't just X—it's Y" for emphasis reinforcement, like "This isn't just wrong—it's baffling." Mine is a simple contrast statement.

Thanks for the comment though - I'm glad a fellow human read it carefully enough to have an opinion on it! :)

The 'we' follows the tradition of the Agile Manifesto. This manifesto isn't about speaking for everyone - it's about capturing a movement happening in real-time. If these ideas resonate, you’re part of the 'we' too.

I tested o3, r1, 4o and other SOTA models against puzzles from an international math competition and compared their performance with my 11-year-old daughter's solutions. Full results include detailed conversations with each model and complete methodology.
