Working with AI Content

We need human editors

Have you tried your hand at AI content creation? It’s intriguing, fun and fast, right? AI writers will be increasingly integrated into our daily lives and work, but the output you get is just a first draft, an initial brainstorm, a gathering of loose thoughts. It still needs to be diligently fact-checked and meticulously edited.

Sentient editors to the rescue! Only they can turn AI-generated content into quality, unique and memorable writing.

AI won’t replace writers and editors, but those who use AI will replace those who don’t.

What human editors offer that AI utterly lacks is emotional intelligence: creativity, imagination, analytical thinking, empathy, inquiry and critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, human judgment, the ability to see nuances and the sensitivity to discern biases and assumptions. And last but not least: the capability to make judgment calls.

That is a lot — but we can deliver.

Steps to take in reviewing AI-generated content:

Scrutinize the source material and give it attribution

Fact-check any data, statistics, quotes and dates for accuracy
