Using an AI as proofreader and/or editor

helmut_meukel 🚫

Just for clarification:
Does using an AI as a proofreader count as AI-generated?
IMO it shouldn't, because some commercially sold proof reading programs may internally use an AI without it's told to the buyer/user.
AI as an editor may need the AI-generated tag, depending on the scope and amount of the editing.

BTW, just read Ka Hmnd's Deputy Morpheus again and stumbled over "newies" (opposite of oldies) where "newsies" was meant. First thought its a simple typo, but a search through all 21 chapters found nine occurrences.
My question: will an AI used as proofreader find this error at all? A human proofreader should have recognized at least
one occurrence and then hopefully searched for more.

No it doesn't.

We test the text and if it has more than 50% of the text categorized as 'AI Generated' then we label it AI Generated.

Proofreading using an AI doesn't change the text of the story, it merely finds the errors.

Polishing the text using an AI may lead to the text being labeled as AI Generated as polishing sometimes changes sentences and their structures to more AI-like style and depending on how extensive the changes are, the text may get labeled AI Generated.

A sort of philosophical musing.

I'd make a guess that SOL's AI detection is best at detecting AI-generated fiction.

I've read several lengthy wallpaper scenes in stories which I believe would require years of learning and specialist knowledge to write from scratch, in fields in which the authors are almost certainly not experts.

Is it possible the scenes are AI-generated but, because they're taken closely from what a minuscule number of human experts did write (including whole sentences found verbatim on various internet sites), AI-detection doesn't recognise them as AI-generated?

I use ProWritingAid, which includes AI to check lots of things. I manually edit any corrections. It's more than a grammar check.
