    Ideas, sure. But grammar and formatting are typically completely different jobs like editing and typesetting. If you’re going the indie route and self publishing, you might not be able to afford to hire someone else to do that work.

    Those also happen to be things that LLMs are actually good at. They’re (mostly) not creative tasks and instead just follow a set of rules.

      Its also incredibly hard to catch erors in you own writing. Skilled writres are usually good readers, and we have mnay silkls to dcpoyher txet, often with out noticeing.

      (Errors introduced deliberately to illustrate.)

      There’s a reason virtually all books make it to print with errors. It’s very hard to catch all errors.

      It’s also a fantastic use case for LLMs, since the structure of language is the exact type of low-hanging task LLMs are actually good at, even with cheap/fast models.
