  This study evaluates the potential of ChatGPT-4, an artificial intelligence
language model developed by OpenAI, as an editing tool for Spanish literary and
academic books. The need for efficient and accessible reviewing and editing
processes in the publishing industry has driven the search for automated
solutions. ChatGPT-4, being one of the most advanced language models, offers
notable capabilities in text comprehension and generation. In this study, the
features and capabilities of ChatGPT-4 are analyzed in terms of grammatical
correction, stylistic coherence, and linguistic enrichment of texts in Spanish.
Tests were conducted with 100 literary and academic texts, where the edits made
by ChatGPT-4 were compared to those made by expert human reviewers and editors.
The results show that while ChatGPT-4 is capable of making grammatical and
orthographic corrections with high accuracy and in a very short time, it still
faces challenges in areas such as context sensitivity, bibliometric analysis,
deep contextual understanding, and interaction with visual content like graphs
and tables. However, it is observed that collaboration between ChatGPT-4 and
human reviewers and editors can be a promising strategy for improving
efficiency without compromising quality. Furthermore, the authors consider that
ChatGPT-4 represents a valuable tool in the editing process, but its use should
be complementary to the work of human editors to ensure high-caliber editing in
Spanish literary and academic books.
