What is meant with AI-edited??
AI can do a grate job for grammar, spell and formulation checking/fixing without changing any content. I.e. just adding as a fancy version of extended spell checking.
While I do currently not use it like that there shouldn't be any reason to ban it.
And tbh. given some recent comments I have been really wondering if I should use it, because either there are quite a bunch of people with lacking reading comprehension or quite a bunch of people with prejudice against people struggling with English spelling and grammar.
Either way using AI as extended spell checker does would help with getting the message through to both groups as
- it helps with spelling, grammar in ways where traditional spell checker fail hard
- it tends to recommend very easy to read sentence structure and information density
> without changing any content
It absolutely will change content if you ask it to reformulate or fix language style.
there is tools out there which can use in ways where it normally won't change the content. And it's not that you are blindly posting the output of it.
It's also about fixing grammar, spelling, formulation issues. It's not about giving it pullet points and it writing the text for you.
It doesn't help anyone. The user just depends on it to fix their English. And it makes a monoculture where every ESL user sounds exactly the same.
except you can nudge LLMs to use different stiles more similar to your writing
they aren't good at it but viable
and more important this is about LLMs fixing grammar, spelling and pointing out bad formulations with change recommendations. This is not about giving them pullet points and telling them to write text for you.
