Copy Error

Here’s an example of AI copy-editing. Someone wrote to me something like this: “I just finished some work for the company. Now I’m not on their time.” Copy error! This is sharp. The AI had to look across two sentences to find it. Do you? OBSERVATION: And the AI is sharper than that. But again, I don't think that AI will take over just yet. It lacks the human touch. Interestingly, one may feed the AI some hair-raising literary slang, and that's OK. But personal slang, no.
