The purpose of AI is to produce minimally viable text.

My purpose is to produce text that expands your mental foundations to be more skilled and more compassionate. Tech book, fiction, doesn't matter, that's the goal.

These purposes are incompatible.

I like movies, but tell people, "I want to see movies where I'm a different person when I leave the theater."

Same with books, as you say. Honestly it's why I bought all of your tech books. After reading them, my skills go up an order of magnitude. Which makes work easier, and the boss is more impressed, so I get paid more. I'm different after reading your books.
