If anyone were to offer me a job working remotely as a 👉🏼human👈🏼 proofreader - the kind who is extremely well-read and has a deep appreciation of creative, colourful prose - I would take it even if the pay was modest.
I would relish spending my days absorbed in the writing of others, and it would feel like a valuable public service in a world in which "proofreaders" are increasingly turning to LLMs to convert everything into bland, uniform, perfectly grammatical dross.
