BEWARE! Please, please, do NOT rely on AI for academic proofreading.
It cannot understand your contextual intentions, apply subject-specific expertise, interpret your tone and intent, deal with your nuances and subtle meanings, or avoid factual errors. Its over-reliance on rules can make nonsense of your text. What to do instead: by all means use AI as a preliminary check, but then consult a professional editor. Like this one 🙂
Elsevier, one of the main English-language publishers says: “…..[proofreading…] that accurately reflects the writer’s original intention requires native-level English proficiency and robust academic writing experience…..a thorough human review post AI editing is crucial to ensure your complex ideas come across clearly to readers” (Author Services).
