I think this is helpful, and appropriate, but could be even better with a little more editing. I think of AI content like this sometimes from a Hegelian thesis/antithesis/synthesis perspective. What does this content bring to your mind, and how might the two create something better than either alone? The intro, for example, makes me want to ask for some more specific context instead of just "in the world today."

I ran it through ChatGPT as well, asking for 10 relevant synthetic personas to consider it and then write a summary of their feedback. That dialogue is here https://chatgpt.com/share/67d843eb-8654-8012-a9a4-54a12207ed17. I often do this before publishing content and find that there are often 2 or 3 of its recommendations that make for a stronger final piece. One key is to avoid being turned off by the advice you *don't* want to follow. I often tell myself that a baseball player who gets a hit 3 out of 10 times is going to the Hall of Fame; so too I don't ask for my AI system to be perfect every time.

Finally, though, I think this is a great use case for AI in general. If this is a type of content you struggle to create - let the language model rearrange the information in this format! It lowers the cognitive overhead for you and makes it more accessible for the rest of us. Cheers!

As a long term follower of WattCarbon’s work, but without any technical background, I have to say that this text is somewhat more understandable than previously provided “white-papers”. Also the organization is very helpful.

I can see how a live presentation to an intelligent but technically clueless audience. e.g. corporate or university decision-makers, could be greatly enhanced by a take-away copy of this paper and maybe even a short outline or list of bullet-points.

I say this A-I assisted white-paper is moving you in a good direction.
