Why the best explainer articles aren't about tools
A piece is categorized as aiexplainerworthy when it's about the craft of explaining things clearly — the actual writing, the structure, the rhythm — rather than about a specific tool or vendor. This distinction matters because it shapes how the piece is routed through the site.
The category is a judgment on the article's subject, not on the quality of the AI that wrote it. Anything that teaches how to explain clearly — whether the writer is human or machine — lands here. The opposite would be a post about a particular product, a vendor announcement, or a how-to for a specific tool.
This is a good one. It's about the craft, not the tool.
Why this matters for us: it means we can use these pieces to teach our own comunidad how to write plainly about what they actually do, without sounding like a tech blog.
