Welcome to the AI Rewrite Experiment: Revamping Classic Blog Articles

This article follows the pattern that I intend to use for this blog going forward. The italicized foreword is mine; everything else, including the title, is entirely the product of an artificial intelligence (AI) natural language engine like ChatGPT. I might work interactively with the AI engine to bring its output closer to covering the subject matter that I had in mind, but the final output will be straight from the AI engine without any editing from me.
