> complaining about LLM-assisted writing. I urge you to read the article. "assisted" is doing a lot of load-bearing work here. The problem is not just the writing style, but rather that it doesn't make sense at all

The features look exciting, but the article is exceptionally unclear to me. I am not sure whether that is my fault, the author's, or the LLM's who wrote it. The headline feature (property graphs) has a better example here in the o
