Even before I give a manuscript to a reader/editor, I want the thing to be as good as I possibly get it. To have an AI that puts red squiggly marks beneath questionable things… it draws my attention, and so long as I can tell it to “ignore”, I’m fine with that level of AI. So, having AI assisting in showing where there might be a problem, that I should double check, that’s fine to me. More comprehensive the AI, the better...at this stage. Might it eventually replace the need for an editor in all but the most serious of publications? Well, I’m not hiring out an editor for what are ... web postings. As AI improves, how “good enough” will it be before it can handle … say magazine or cheap-romance level of editing?
Ditto for the writing… not saying AI will be better, but when will it be “good enough” for somebody more interested in quantity over quality, but still claim it as their own?
