I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed in this article critiquing the use of AI for technical writing. As someone who values the precision and nuance inherent in technical documentation, relying solely on AI risks sacrificing crucial human insight and understanding.

Yes, but this is too obvious for its paragraph style. Please make it a little bit harder next time!
