Disclaimer: I do not use AI chat bots or tools such as Deepseek, ChatGPT, etc. for editing purposes, as 1) I do not trust that these programmes are (yet) able to edit work effectively, nor are they able to provide the same level of feedback that humans can – language is a fluid, personal tool, and grammar rules are made to be stylistically broken; 2) I am concerned by the environmental impact of these platforms; and 3) I am committed to keeping your unpublished work confidential.
