  Reposition README's opening to clarify purpose as an LLM refusal removal tool

  Why:

  CURRENT

  # Removing refusals with HF Transformers
  
  This is a crude, proof-of-concept implementation to remove refusals from an LLM model without using TransformerLens. This means, that this supports every model that HF Transformers supports*.

  # Sumandora/remove-refusals-with-transformers: A Tool for LLM Refusal Removal
  
  This repository provides a proof-of-concept implementation for removing harmful or harmless refusal responses from Large Language Models (LLMs) using pure Hugging Face Transformers. It functions as a post-processing tool for existing LLMs, enabling them to answer sensitive or restricted prompts by identifying and rewriting refusal boilerplate, without modifying the underlying model architecture or requiring TransformerLens.

  ## Problem Solved
  
  Large Language Models often generate "refusal" responses when confronted with sensitive, restricted, or out-of-scope prompts. This tool aims to programmatically identify and remove such boilerplate refusals, allowing for more direct and specific responses, particularly useful in controlled environments or for research into LLM behavior. It serves AI safety researchers and developers who need to analyze or modify LLM outputs without retraining or deep architectural changes.
