Academic Editing
If you want to find the right words, you sometimes need the wise insight of an outsider.
In the age of ChatGPT, it seems easy to produce professional texts. In reality, however, texts generated by AI all too often come across as superficial, mass-produced slop. They lack not only a personal touch, but above all linguistic precision and rigorous argumentation.
When it comes to proofreading and editing, AI systems promise more than they can deliver. Whilst they may well spot spelling mistakes, they cannot determine whether a text is coherent, whether it has a golden thread running through it, or whether it is written in a way that is suitable for the target audience. Only a human can assess that.
