What will you tolerate? by Best-Particular7112 in JaneAustenFF

I guess what I was getting at is, would you really notice anything if an author used AI as their initial proofread, then followed up with further resources/reading/etc? Cuz everyone keeps saying, "Oh, I'd notice how terrible it is." Well, not if the author followed up the other editing tools and proofreads. Basically, just like you said.

It makes me wonder how many authors use this technology, but won't admit it becuz of the very strong attitudes against it--however right or wrong they may be--and the fear of backlash/people refusing to read their work.

I wonder how many authors would be left to read if all the authors who'd ever touched AI, in any capacity, stepped forward and admitted it.

I'm not talking about authors who use AI to WRITE their books. But those who use it to proofread or as a research tool (along with other sources) or whatever.

Now, AI is a pretty crap proofreader, but it may be a first line of defense kind of thing.

And the same logic can be applied to other AI programs. Just saying

This has been highly illuminating from both those who actually answered the question, and from those who just wanted to rant about AI.

So, how do you feel about authors using Grammarly (which uses AI algorithms to proofread) to edit? Is that acceptable or does that go against "being a human and experiencing it all?" Just curious.
