In all the brouhaha and divisiveness about AI, we can miss that there are also benefits. Granted, as noted in the article, the prompt has to be precise, but this is a use that can open all kinds of possibilities for good writers who simply can't hire a professional editor. Am I talking myself out of job? Nope. Good editors will always be needed for the content and subtleties of language that AI can NEVER catch. But if you need a basic "clean-up," go for it! I also don't mind that this will require editors to "up our game" in terms of knowledge, professionalism, customer service.
There is definitely a place for AI (and has been for decades already, which many seem unaware of). As long as we don't use it as a substitution for creativity, I have no problem with it.
