I'm the author. Literally 0% of this was written with AI. Not an outline, not the arguments, not a single word in any paragraph. We agonized over every aspect of this article: the wording, the structure, and in particular, about whether we were being fair to Yjs. We moved the second and third section around constantly. About a dozen people reviewed it and gave feedback.

EDIT: I will say I'm not against AI writing tools or anything like that. But, for better or worse, that's just not what happened here.

Apologies. Was it at all edited by an AI?
I do not know how to say this another way. No. Nothing in this article was created, edited, outlined, pre-drafted, suggested, or in any other way influenced by AI. AI did not write the words, it did not review the words, it was not a part of a pre-writing discussion that influenced the words. There is NO AI IN THIS ARTICLE OR AS AN INPUT TO THIS ARTICLE. If the article is an apple, then 0% of the apple is AI or AI influenced.

And let this be a lesson to you. You apparently do not have any ability to distinguish between these two kinds of thing.
