By the way, I love your posts on how to use AI tools.

They want to know where this is going.

And also because I've had this book and my experience is that they're amazing for certain kinds of editing suggestions, right?

Like, you know, this thousand word section feels a little bit slow, right?

Please read the entire manuscript and help me understand like what are 150 words I could cut out to move the reader along, right?

Like,

Please identify another place in the book where this could go, right?

Like that kind of stuff, it's amazing.

Fact checking, it's hopeless, right?

In part, like this date problem, right?

Because it doesn't understand, it has a hard time parsing, like, yeah, McCormick was, there are more stories that were written about McCormick when he was a Senate candidate than when he was a Senator.

He's kind of disappeared, but we cared a ton about his race.

Like, it'll probably be like 10 years before AI knows he's actually in the Senate, right?
