Actually, yeah. I think it could make a difference. Usually there is some basic spell-check, grammar check stuff already going on, but the kinds of things that would be easily fixed/identified by LLMs could be:
- continuity checking - often moving sections of text around introduces temporal errors
- style cleanup
- quasi-duplicated text that came from multiple edits or start/stops being merged
- fixing vague and unclear passages
But probably what they won't do well in a near terms is provide more critical feedback, such as when to throw away large sections of book, or remove subplots, or where to dive deeper on other topics. I'm sure they can generate general suggestions for this kind of thing though.
