The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Well, that's the difference between verification and validation of automated functions. If you have to fact-check it every time, that's manual verification. If you can validate it to be more reliable than a human performing the same activity, then it becomes a viable alternative. Anyone who's worked with CNC manufacturing will be familiar with this.Â

benefits.
If they ever figure out how to have it do fact checking on what it
