Old timey charm is overrated. I want to get to the point.

The use of AI here is really cool and I hope to see it applied to other older tomes

Unfortunately I still have a soft spot for beautiful writing. The "point" often sticks better when it is expressed eloquently. Having to think a little bit to get to the point also helps with absorbing it, at least in my experience.
