Would/could you apply this same argument to books?
- omgJustTest 3y agoI feel this is already true of books, the question is will a publisher put it out... books cost money to produce and by comparision to hosting are massive investments.
- jacobr1 3y agoI wish more self-published books would find a way to hire a copyeditor.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agogpt to the rescue?
- jacobr1 3y agoActually, yeah. I think it could make a difference. Usually there is some basic spell-check, grammar check stuff already going on, but the kinds of things that would be easily fixed/identified by LLMs could be: - continuity checking - often moving sections of text around introduces temporal errors - style cleanup - quasi-duplicated text that came from multiple edits or start/stops being merged - fixing vague and unclear passages But probably what they won't do well in a near terms is provide more critical feedback, such as when to throw away large sections of book, or remove subplots, or where to dive deeper on other topics. I'm sure they can generate general suggestions for this kind of thing though.
- IanCal 3y agoWhat people usually picture for books is things written for profit by the author. That's very different from academic papers. If you're talking about monographs/etc then that's a different beast.
