But you claim ChatGPT replaces your human proofreader, which is what I'm curious about. Now you claim that you can proofread yourself since you know your field, so how exactly is ChatGPT replacing your human proofreader and why did you need one at all?

This statement here is what I'm asking about:

> The first insight is that an article that I need to publish could be proofread immediately while before I used an incredible professional content editor that could take hours for reviewing and improving the article.

Don't you have to double check the output anyway and how is that proofreading?

The answer is simple and we can use computational complexity as an example: you have an NP problem and once you have a solution you can check the solution in polynomial time.

In my example: I can create content easily but not proofread it as easy as ChatGPT. Once ChatGPT comes out with a solution I can check if the solution is correct or not. Is this complex to understand? If you are a writer you can write quickly but need an editor to help you to improve your text, once your editor give you ideas you can use or discard them. Some of the ideas your editor gives you will never come from you or require more thinking that stops your writing flow.

So you're not using ChatGPT to do your proofreading, because you proofread ChatGPT yes? That's my question, not if it saves you time writing.

I don't claim the autocomplete in my editor is validating or testing my code, to use your own analogy.

I still don't feel you're answering my question, but the lack of an answer is also an answer in a sense.
