If you're writing by hand and trying to avoid accusations of AI-generated content, it's really easy not to write bulleted lists where each item starts with a boldface summary like "A clean bijection in the middle." Or drive home a point with such pithy italicized mottos as "The complexity was never in the map. It was in the basis." If you didn't use AI in the writing here, you have trained yourself very well to write like an LLM.
I am not giving you the benefit of the doubt even with your disclaimer at the top. Too many LLMisms to be a coincidence.
I read the article anyway so people don't complain about me complaining about AI slop, and I'll say this: Reading this article was like having someone explain really complex board game rules without first giving me motivation on why I would want to play or what I'm trying to achieve. What can I do with SVD? Maybe give me a concrete problem to solve, where SVD is helpful.
I recently worked on a toy 2D geometric constraint solver and it was super fun to implement from scratch. I had an AI to consult on various mathematical concepts (which in my opinion is one of the great uses of AI), and giving it a concrete problem to solve was extremely helpful to to cut through a lot of the notation noise. It of course also gave me the motivation to actually learn the concepts, or else I wasn't going to see lines and circles snap together using the constraints I had defined.
In any case, maybe you really did write this without any AI usage. I doubt it, but if that's really the case, I'd recommend a change of tone and writing style, because currently it is almost exactly 1:1 with a vanilla chatgpt session.
