The sales text for a high-Google-ranked automatic editing tool gives us more information about the quality of the product than the writers presumably intended.

It won’t be Utopian to say that every time whatever we write, whether a memo, report or a research material, is precise, accurate and effective in single go. It is possible if we use good proofreading software that allows us to review our write ups and suggest some corrections.

If this was written by a machine, it’s not bad, I suppose. Generally speaking, however, it seems reasonable to suggest that the utopia to which the authors advert will be achieved at precisely the moment when a true artificial intelligence is switched on. And at that point I’m guessing we’ll all be too busy dodging the clutches of killer robots to worry any more about grammar and style.

Until that time, human editors still rule okay.
