Subject: First machine-generated book published
Dear Colleagues,
Springer has just published a machine-generated book.
https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/englisch/first-machine-generated-book-
published/
I suppose the text makes a certain kind of sense, but some of the sentences and
paragraph involve problematic grammar and jargon that is comprehensible only to
a specialist.
On one hand, there is something fascinating about this. It demonstrates that a
machine can gather useful information. So far, it suggests that a machine can
learn to write prose that equals poor technical writing and the worst legal and
administrative writing.
Interesting.
Ken
