Editing AI output starts with the article's job, not its grammar. First ask whether the draft satisfies the intended search destination; only then polish the prose.
What matters most
- Check intent match.
- Remove repeated ideas.
- Verify facts and citations.
- Replace vague examples.
- Tighten introductions and transitions.
- Review internal and external links.
- Read for brand voice and rhythm.
Keep the workflow accountable
The useful metric is time to an accurate, internally linked, publishable page—not raw words generated per minute. Search intent, factual verification, source quality, and final editorial judgment remain publisher responsibilities.
