Thank you for the suggestion.

Be assured that I invested a considerable amount of time and thought
into crafting this proposal=C2=B9. It went through multiple iterations befo=
re
arriving at the current version, which reflects my own judgment and the
outcome I wanted to achieve.  =20

I chose to disclose my use of an LLM because I believe transparency is
important, especially in the context of this GR. At the same time, I
consider this proposal to be a practical demonstration of one of the
central points I have made elsewhere in this discussion: for me, an LLM
can act as a drafting and language-assistance tool without replacing my
own ideas, reasoning, or responsibility for the final text.

For that reason, I do not intend to replace the current version=C2=B2 with =
one
prepared through a different drafting process. I would instead refer to
the arguments I made earlier in this subthread:

=C2=B9 Shameless plug: the proposal is still looking for seconders.
