Nice addition - I left a few comments to consider. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. I wouldn't consider this ready to merge yet until modifications are made due to the author section in particular.

Some of the basis of #5 pertained to providing credit or notice that we used LLM's in the making of this project. Consider adding a references section to this document to help begin towards referencing other work which shaped this project (I believe it may have been OpenAI models but we may want to confirm with @jring-o). It might also be worth referencing the upstream repository to help credit @eyermt and illustrate how that repository is related to this one.
