Thank you, Deleyna. I love helping authors polish and promote their books.

Mark - what you do is an amazing skill. I find errors in almost every book I read, and it makes me sad. Don't even get me started about trying to read news articles. Human editors are irreplaceable!

You are all correct for so many reasons. I read 50 to 60 books a year and I find spelling errors in all but one, each of the last 7 years. I am still waiting to find that book this year. Even with Grammarly, which I use, and other programs I still find things the software misses.

I've always thought that they were trying to take over.

Just don't tell them that. They're very good at revenge...

Robots simply aren't good at everything.

Exactly, Pamela! When we're talking about stories, the nuances are still beyond the comprehension of AIs. And ugh. Those chat bots! Of course...for those, we really need to blame the lack of imagination of the person who programmed it!

Give me a human editor and proofreader and sometimes you even have to confer with them when it comes to what you meant in your story. I notice that AI can't comprehend what you mean when I'm on a chat line, which is why they have the option of chatting with an actual person, smh.
