About this episode

This episode discusses the errors in AI writing with guests Daniel Heuman and Chris Ryder, focusing on style rules and editing challenges.

1219. This week, we talk to Daniel Heuman and Chris Ryder from Intelligent Editing about the errors hiding in AI writing that looks flawless. We look at why it invents its own rules when you ask for Chicago or AP style, why it goes wrong in the middle of a document rather than at the ends, and why an AI that over-edits is harder to clean up than one that under-edits.
