If you have ever keyed in an email only to have the AI replace your carefully chosen word... or spelling, then you know why I am skeptical. We of the creative space play with words to heighten emotion or illustrate an action. If given a choice, I chose a human over AI.
When AI really learns to "sing the blues," then, maybe. Point is that it's still an algorithm, and no algorithm can go beyond is parameters. If AI can't write fiction, it can't edit. Someday, maybe, but not now.
Amen. The power of "human touch" by a live editor will remain, especially on books authors write from the heart. Which isn't to say I'm not scared of losing editing business--just that I think there are ways to pivot.
I couldn't agree more. We need human editors. Grammarly is as far as I want to go with auto edits. It would be great though if the prices came down a bit.

I agree 1000%.
