A couple of studies regarding AI writing

They are also trained on a lot of slop. AI for writing at its current state might be a bit like millions of AI monkeys typing, but their training probably hurts their ability to get lucky.

AI is a genuine marvel for editing and catching oddball errors. I released Eve of Snows 8 years ago, and just today I thought... let's see what old errors an AI might catch in the MS! I've been over that book a couple of dozen times, with 3 professional passes at editing, and it was rated an A for editing by a professional reviewer, and I'll be damned if it didn't pull up errors that got by. I had a diacritic Istinjôln once in the book, and bam! Caught that little bastard. A total hangover from my first draft. Double spaced in one spot. One minor character's name got misspelled twice. And there were others far more WTF!? as far as errors go. I was floored. It also flagged things I left as is, because not every grammatical error is a mistake, heh heh.

The fact that I can tell a machine "Hard errors ONLY" and it skips almost all of my idiosyncrasies is amazing as hell.

Plus you can be very rude to an AI editor, saying things I'd never say to a living one, heh heh.
