Soooooo ... what's the angle. AI training? Hollywood looking for new ideas? Building the fundamental infrastructure and knowledge required for a ProofreadingAsAService platform in the future?

I think they give you 500 words of free proofreading as a sort of sampler, then sell proof-reading services beyond that.

For example, I have a 24k word document I'd love to get proofread. It would cost $480.

Ahhhhh. So just a fancy covert advert masquerading as something interesting then. Thanks for the clarification.
