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.

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.

@ApostateEnglishman This is what I do. I stopped my business becasue of the "lockdown." Never really started it again. Instead I wrote a novel but I want to get back into it.
The smart ones out there don't trust AI, believe me.

Pushing back on "perfectly grammatical"... as I have doubts on that.
I see a LOT of LLM-based autocorrect attempts that are grammatically wrong, because they don't understand the writer's intent, and assume that the most-typical wording must be the most-correct wording. And that's not always true.
Which is just another reason human proofreaders are preferable.

@NaClKnight Ultimately permanent position, but would settle for one-off projects in the meantime.
