Writing with the Help of AI Editing Is Penalized as Non-human?
Most writers have editors, and book editors do an enormous amount of the work, but AI editing appears to be seen as questionable.
Writers, even, the very best of the best, who produce bestsellers and magazine articles that fly off the shelf or the page, all have editors—real, flesh-and-blood people with blue pencils. Well, they probably don't use blue pencils anymore because most of the editing would be done on a computer, utilizing some type of software. Therein lies the main issue that I have with the current, extremely rigid algorithms being used to peruse writing. Allow me to explain.
Most of us write independently, in our own domicile,, with no interventions from an editor or other person involved in the creative process. That is, most of us, but not anyone who may write for an online publication or other corporate entity that uses in-house writing. Of course, you will have input and a team working with you on your writing production; that's a given.
However, when you create your own work and submit it to different publications, you might receive polite rejection emails. Why might that be, if your writing is sterling according to their guidelines and you are writing in a generally acceptable style? One question I have is: Are you using editing software?
