- Antibabelic 8mo agoIt's one thing when you're correcting someone you're in conversation with and a different thing entirely when you're correcting long-form material with at least some pretense for polish.
- hluska 8mo agoI don’t agree. Sending AI generated spam with spelling errors isn’t kind. Traditionally, humans ask to be edited and they deserve that agency.
- Antibabelic 8mo agoThe person I'm responding to didn't say anything about AI. I don't agree that this kind of thing should be automated like in the OP either. However, as far as I'm concerned, notifying post authors about spelling and grammatical errors is normal and generally appreciated.
