Problem

We're expecting a significant uptick in traffic to the site after our AI Paper is published. When that traffic comes in, we want the site to be polished to build confidence in the tool.

To that end, we need the following copy changes made to the site. This ticket covers items 1 - 5 from "Need to Do" in the attached Google Doc (the doc also contains screenshots of the areas that need changes for increased clarity)
