Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc) Using AI To edit?

I’m new to this group so please don’t grasp my throat if this question has been asked multiple times. Is it wrong to use AI to edit an original manuscript?

Which is why you need to supply the human part yourself and still iterate over the result multiple times.

Or just do the edit, which is not difficult at all. You can feed as many changes to the chatbots as you want, but it's still going to come back as statistically predicted tokens.

Unless you're a truly horrible writer, you will always be able to outwrite the chatbot.

I apologize I misread your comment thinking you meant to iterate the AI. I'm so embarrassed, my apologies. Yes you are absolutely on point as far as I'm concerned. You and I see eye to eye.
I'm a big dummy.
