#WritingCommunity I’m on a fair number of professional Facebook, and other pages for writers, and whenever I mention using AI to help authors, who truly have no budget for an editor, the editors go crazy. I’d like to point out to any here that if somebody absolutely can’t afford you you’re not losing business. I had one editor on Facebook screaming at me telling me that if people couldn’t afford an editor, they should ask a friend. Not everybody has friends who can edit. 😱 😳😮
@J_Windrow That's a very interesting idea. I haven't been impressed with the quality of AI writing. It's excellent... for a machine. Nothing I would ever want to read, however.
I never considered using it to edit. Thanks! I will have to give that a try. Editing is a long and tedious process (having done it myself). I'm not inclined to dump it on a friend if I can get a machine to do an okay job. I'd polish the final project myself.
@Myana I have learned how to edit over the years. It’s one of those things where I trained on the job essentially and I can do a lot of the elements that are editing. But quite frankly, I am happy enough to have a machine show me your suggestions and then I can shake them or leave them as I choose. Of course that’s pretty much the way I take editors anyway. I have had one editor, but I said I am taking the story away from you if you make me have the character get nude. That’s not the story.
