#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 Perhaps true, but I also have clients who save up for me, and I think that idea has value.
But also, I have fixed SO MANY manuscripts that AI has fucked up, it's unbelievable. AI cannot replace a human editor.
@WestofMars I talk to people who are pensioners and they don’t have the money and they’re never gonna have the money and they’re not gonna save up the money because they don’t have the money to save up. Some of them only get a computer to use at the local library. They’re lucky to have a little USB drive so you’re not losing any money from them because there is no way that they ever going to pay you anything. I know people who are living on $700 a month and it’s all used up.
@J_Windrow That may be their circumstance, but it does not negate the fact that AI will not help them write a better book.
