A lot is being said about Chat GPT replacing authors, but from the various outputs I have seen I am really not convinced that it will any time in the near future. However, could AI replace editors?
These Large Language Models and AI assistants already auto-correct, flag grammar and spelling errors, and suggest new phrasings, so can they replace editors?
In this video I took three very short samples from some authors work and asked Chat GPT Can you edit the following passage?.
Here are the results.
I am not really concerned if the AI is good at editing, what I am interested in is what it is doing, how it approaches it, and if it can be a useful tool for creative writing. Is it really a timesaving device? Will it actually replace human authors and editors, or do we still need humans intimately involved in the process?
As a point of clarity, I didnt tell the programme if it had done a good job or a bad job as I dont wish to help train something that various industries are seeing as a way to cut human artists, authors, and skilled professionals out of the workplace. But I was surprised at what it did.
