In my (non-English-speaking) country, paying for an editing service before one submits a paper was very common. Now it's all AI edited. That's not the interesting part though. The interesting part is that the biggest editing service provider here explicitly states it's okay for the clients to send the papers through AI first then buy their service for 'additional human editing.' They even offer cheaper price for papers that are already edited by AI. The irony is not lost on me.
