"Last month, I wasn't sure whether to be livid or despondent when I saw an
academic on a local message board offering 60–70€ in exchange for someone to
copyedit her research manuscript: a book chapter. She admitted that 60–70€
wasn't much in exchange for such work, but this was her limit. To sweeten the
deal, she also offered to bake a cake.

The job in question was something that would normally take most professional
academic copyeditors anywhere from 4–12 hours of meticulous attention and
skilled labor — more if the document exceeded a standard length.

Well, who could resist a cake and a single hour of pay?!

Someone popped onto the thread then to suggest:

Use ChatGPT!

At that, I had enough internet for the day."
