So, how did you use AI for edits? The more details the better.

I purchased Grammarly Premium for this project and uploaded my entire manuscript (next time, I'll do only chapter by chapter).

Grammarly analyzed my manuscript and recommended over 2000 changes. You could choose between accepting all recommendations or reviewing the recommendations item by item.

I choose item by item and reviewed each suggestion by Grammarly over a few days. Some of their proposals seemed off-the-wall which I rejected, but I probably allowed 75% of the changes they recommended.

I used Chatopenai to decide on a title and also had her write a poem capturing the essence of my story to include in the intro section of the book.

Using ai to edit my manuscript was not perfect, but for my three previous novels I hired human editors which were much more expensive than Grammarly Premium, and I was not satisfied with their products.

I read an article about a lawyer who used AI to write a brief. The AI actually made up fake case law and put it in the brief. I can’t imagine how bad that turned out for the lawyer!

I will be buying Grammarly soon.

Intend to write almost stream of consciousness for first draft. Print and beef up for second draft.

Then go back over for tense. punctuation and spelling. I also tend to use placeholders for character names or places and the do a search and replace. So I have to make sure those all get done.

I use Grammarly all of the time. It's worth it to me for the suggestions.

thanks for the insight ... but i would have a good graphic designer clean up the cover. A better design could go a long way for you.
