What are the implications of computers doing ALL of our editing?

Will there ever be a time when computers will do all our editing for us and human editors will be extinct?aurora

I sure hope not. Consider spell-check -- while it can detect spelling errors, it can't check if you used the right word, or used the word correctly. Additionally, languages are so complex, the systems doesn't seem to be able to check for or correct all errors. If computers do all of our editing, our writing will become very stagnant and predictable - formulaic, even. I hope that day never comes!

probably not: computers arent perfect
Probably not. To replace a human editor requires a computer which is as good at editing as a human. Humans have a remarkable ability to adapt to unforeseen situations, which so far computers haven't been very good at, and to create a computer editor as good as a human would probably require artificial intelligence close to that of a human. But soon after that point, we will modify ourselves to do a better job as well, until eventually biological humans no longer exist and we are all inside computers. Whoever does the editing at that point may be a converted human or an AI, but by then there won't really be much distinction between the two.
Computers would be extinc some day........
