I tested Gemini, as I heard it was good at creating AI images. I asked it to create an image of a tuxedo cat wearing a Christmas hat! “Not bad,” I thought at first, except not many Santa hats have two bobbles 🤔
I think this shows why we can’t rely on AI for editing accuracy 🤷🏻‍♀️😹 #amediting #editorsky

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

I have deep respect for people with pure hearts and good intentions.

It’s rare to find someone who’s genuinely kind, so if you’re lucky enough to have one in your life, keep them close.
People like that are worth holding on to

Excellent article and interview with Molly McCowan on AI and copy editing!
Do you still need #human #editors to get your #research #papers in the best shape? #Generative #AI lacks “the nuance, emotion, & contextual awareness that human copyeditors bring. Instead of replacing humans, AI might be highlighting how essential human editorial insight is.” tinyurl.com/58nwf3rzMM

It’s okay to feel what you feel.
You’re not exaggerating.
You’re not too much.
You’re allowed to feel hurt,
to struggle,
to take your time.
Your feelings are valid, always

Please hold on

Please don’t give up

Had such a good time interviewing Ellen Jovin and Brandt Johnson @grammartable.bsky.social about their movie Rebel With A Clause for #ciep2025!

So lovely to have a live Q&A with @susiedent.com at the #ciep2025 conference!

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

Hi Editors,

OpenAI’s new “cookbook” for agents is out, but it’s pretty code-heavy.

Custom GPTs are still the easiest way to build something useful into your workflow without coding.

I'm thinking of doing a workshop on that. Would that be helpful? Let me know.

The two most common questions I get asked about AI are “which AI should I use” and “how do I start using AI?”

I wrote a short guide attempting to answer both questions. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/using-ai-r...
