Patent on "Long Tail" for automated content authorship.

[chineseboxer108]

wow! we're inventing ourselves out of existence.

[Snowzinger]

The future is nigh...

[Paperplatesclothing]

how do i invest?

[iiTudy]

WTF? This just pwned in 10 minutes, 5000 years of book writing and authors.

[Yaroonn]

This is so friggin' scary.

[feltfirefox]

Interesting stuff!

Parallel text editions of classic works, with attendant automatically generated mp3 readings would be of great use to language learners (cf the 'listening/reading method') - they can take a long time to put together by hand. I suppose that relevant grammatical notes could also be added automatically. There would be a sizeable market for these.

You could make million by selling exclusively to High School and College students.

Could this program realistically create an essay or document on command? for example, If I wanted a 2 page report on the life of Napoleon, and had a database with hundreds of pages on napoleon, could it pick out important events, and compile them? or could it create a scientific lab writeup when given experimental results and a problem?

If so, this is the greatest creation I have heard of, if not, I hope it will someday lead to this.

As requested, sample grammatical acrostics, practiced in elementary schools to introduce children to poetry (title is an acronym for words in the poem):

NUDE

Naked unclad, dear enactment.

LOVE

Lean of vile emotions.

GOD

Gentlemen of divinity!

BOOK

Bible ordered, obtained Koran.

Uses graph theory (clique commonality) and over 40,000 grammatical structures, ranked by meta-analytic probabilities of being understood by English readers (see "More info" link above to the right).

Gosh!

The most amasing thing Ive seen since...emm I dont know... my first PC? ;))

[slobomotion]

I am freaked out. I am obsolete. I am not worthy. I give up.

[fivetrees]

well, i would buy it :>

[Thoran666]

hmm, wonder if this thing could write my bachelor work for uni. :D

even if it doesn't it's very nice.

[kitchnsyncrecords]

OH MY GOD SKYNET!

[sycomsimon]

Hi Phil, Is it available yet to use in compilation for individual users as i need to gather reports that today takes so much time to gather and read that there is just not enough time, it feels, to accomplish this. Wow your algorithim would be very useful in this.

Please let me know if there is a beta version users can use? for a fee? or?

Thanks,

Simon

p.s. Very cool mate :-)

[PhilipMParker]

Hi,

No beta available for public use. Good idea though.

Phil

[rollerbladingsydney]

Quite amazing! Well done Phil.

[menkaur]

the coolest thing i have seen in a while

[keaven99]

Very interesting and equally controversial. It would be interesting to discuss the copyright issues associated with this sort of publishing.

[PhilipMParker]

Hello,

The applications create original content that have copyrights, it does not produce material that violates existing copyright. If a photo or image or passage is cited, this is done with permissions, as per the publishing industry. Such usage is not innovative in this regard. The patent covers the generation of original material. The link in the FAQ provides more info. Phil

[TimothyCohn]

Nice work Phil.

Is this the machine equivalent of Hypergraphia?

Cybergraphia?

[PhilipMParker]

Yes, I guess so :>

[PhilipMParker]

Please read the "More info" section on this page below my name. Many thanks. Phil

[apoemaday]

That is truly incredible. Just shows you that nothing is impossible. I tip my hat to everyone who's involved in this project. I"d love to have the chance to work and explore with this tool. How much creativity could come out of it! My mind will go on for weeks now.. I'll go insomniac for a while. Hehehee Really impressed by this. Good luck with it and if you need people to test it, please count me in.

[xhable]

It disturbs me greatly that I don't have this tool at my fingertips right now.. I can think of at least 20 things off the top of my head that I could use it for.

[1stShyWriter]

Very nicely done.

[Golangol]

Uh, holy crap, bloody brilliant.

[rgribbs]

this is an amazing idea - this will replace how people value process of thinking.

[zerrath]

Seems to fit right in with Network TV.

[stuffapproved]

Very interesting. This kind of stuff can revolutionize modern life.

[whosdadog]

modern life? think about college life
