Yes to all of this!! And no one is willing to acknowledge the ties to fascism, the replication of harmful bias, the environmental impact...I could go on. What are we doing here, people?

I am highly confident that no one should pay an editor who uses AI for developmental edits. If your editor isn’t confident they can handle the “heavy lifting of analysis,” find yourself a new editor.
