@carolinavonkampen.comIt's getting harder and harder to distinguish AI-generated text from well-written, well-edited human writing.
@carolinavonkampen.comThis session will also cover ways to converse with those who want to know why they should hire us instead of getting AI to do it for them.
@carolinavonkampen.comThis session will cover:
✔️ Benefits of having an AI policy
✔️ Define:
—AI-generated work
—Human-generated work
—AI-assisted work
✔️ What are writers’ fears and concerns?
✔️ What advice can we give writers?
@carolinavonkampen.comGenerative AI technology has left a mess in its wake, filled with uncertainty.

@carolinavonkampen.comHello! I'm also attending #ACESVCON26!
Also, have you heard of #StetChat? It's a live conversation here on Bluesky where editors talk about editing-related things. There's one today at 4 p.m. ET—join us! :)
@stetchat.com#ACESVCON26 attendees, join us here on Bluesky after the last session to chat about red flag clients and editing situations!
@carolinavonkampen.com@carolinavonkampen.comDazzle 'em with data! Pair the data about the value of editing with the monetary benefits to having content edited.
@carolinavonkampen.comShow you're an essential part of the content process by talking with readers, writers, content producers.
@carolinavonkampen.comYou need to be familiar with the AI products that when clients ask about it, you can say, "Here's why I don't use them."
#ACESVCON26 #VCON26 #amediting #editing #copyediting #editorsky
@carolinavonkampen.com@acesediting.bsky.social just released a research study on the value of editing. Use this study to prove the value of #editing to bosses, management, clients, etc.!
Also, talk about what can go wrong if content isn't edited.
@carolinavonkampen.comRevel in what you do as an editor! 😍
@carolinavonkampen.comReveal to real meaning behind words. If the gov bans words, get to the deeper meaning:
health equity —> fair and equal access to healthcare
marginalized —> kept from accessing resources
culturally responsive —> informed by [group's] unique culture
underserved —> undersupported
@carolinavonkampen.comRebrand! If "editor" means "glorified spellcheck program" to the people you want to hire you, rebrand yourself to talk about:
✔️ Communications/Writing Specialist
✔️ Compliance and Quality Expert
✔️ Content Manager
✔️ Publications Specialist
@carolinavonkampen.comAre you being pushed by clients to use ChatGPT for editing? Look up research on how well it can actually "edit." (Hint: Not well!)
Keep a work journal and write down everything you do. (Kelly Schrank's checklists could provide this!)
Know what you can do!
@carolinavonkampen.comWhen we edit, we bring our whole selves to the #language loop. Because we do that and because we love words and language, we are keeping language moving.
@carolinavonkampen.comAll LLMs can do is produce a string of words most likely to appear in that order.
They cannot innovate linguistically the way humans do!
