Thanks for the official TL/DR. ... And the laughs. Paper is great, too. What's it like trying to write a paper while the field is shifting so rapidly? Is there anything you would have liked to include that had to be cut so you could get it out the door?

Oh, that's not a full TL;DR -- but sounds like you've read the paper. :) Shifting field: yes, we spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is going to change and what isn't, at least in HCI (my field). LLM capabilities are changing by the...day? So anything that's very focused on LLM capabilities won't be relevant for long. Humans don't change quite as fast! Keep in mind this paper was first written in September 2022, reflecting work done prior to then...practically an eternity in which we've since seen ChatGPT take the world by storm, and now GPT-4. But I think the lessons there are still very relevant, and will be for quite some time.
