I tested Gemini, as I heard it was good at creating AI images. I asked it to create an image of a tuxedo cat wearing a Christmas hat! “Not bad,” I thought at first, except not many Santa hats have two bobbles 🤔 I think this shows why we can’t rely on AI for editing accuracy 🤷🏻‍♀️😹 #amediting #editorsky
Black and white tuxedo cat facing the camera. It’s wearing a red bow tie and a Santa hat with two bobbles, one flopped either side of its head.

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Night night sweet dreamies I have deep respect for people with pure hearts and good intentions. It’s rare to find someone who’s genuinely kind, so if you’re lucky enough to have one in your life, keep them close. People like that are worth holding on to

Night night sweet dreamies It’s okay to feel what you feel. You’re not exaggerating. You’re not too much. You’re allowed to feel hurt, to struggle, to take your time. Your feelings are valid, always Please hold on Please don’t give up

Editors! Have you heard about the new CIEP Competency Framework? It's a tool for editors to assess skills, spot gaps, and plan their CPD. It's free to use, and you do not have to be a member to use it. Join the webinar to find out more! #amediting #CIEP #editorlife #professionaldevelopment

Hi Editors, OpenAI’s new “cookbook” for agents is out, but it’s pretty code-heavy. Custom GPTs are still the easiest way to build something useful into your workflow without coding. I'm thinking of doing a workshop on that. Would that be helpful? Let me know. #amediting #editorlife

She is similing at the camera with her head tilted slightly to her right. The white text says, "Introduction to academic copyediting," and it quotes the instructor saying, "Looking to expand your client base?

The two most common questions I get asked about AI are “which AI should I use” and “how do I start using AI?” I wrote a short guide attempting to answer both questions. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/using-ai-r...

🤖 I’ve been exploring where AI fits into editing—what it helps with, where it falls short, and what that might mean for our work. 💬 Are you using AI in your workflow? 🧠 If so, what’s working (or not)? 🤔 If not, why not? 💡Curious how other editors are handling it. #AIforEditors #EditorsOnBS

🤖 A recent study claims that AI has passed the Turing test, with GPT-4.5 being judged as human 73% of the time. 💬 What does that mean for editors, researchers, and writers? 🔗 www.the-independent.com/tech/ai-turi... #AI #editing #language #TuringTest

AI model passes Turing Test ‘better than a human’

📰 Interesting NYT article: Is it worth saying "please" and "thank you" to AI? I think word choice matters, even with machines. It shapes how we communicate. What do you think? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/t... #AI #editing #language #communication

Saying ‘Thank You’ to ChatGPT Is Costly. But Maybe It’s Worth the Price.
Adding words to our chatbot can apparently cost tens of millions of dollars. But some fear the cost of not saying please or thank you could be higher.
