Computers Writing Fiction
According to MoorishGirl, there are new developments in computer generated text. As has been humorously pointed out, perhaps this is no good for fiction, but who knows, maybe we’ll put lawyers out of a job?
Randa sends a link to this essay by Daniel Akst, where he wonders whether current advances in technology might not allow computers to write fiction in the near future. Two programs are cited (Brutus 1 and StoryBook) and though the passages they’ve written aren’t earth-shaking, they’re still pretty decent.
