you know your days are numbered when, in a meeting, someone tells you about a new feature on their product that can write commentary.
as writers our ability to express ideas, join facts and provide conclusions and insight to others through the written word is now able to be replaced by a complex set of rules and computer programming.
the concept is called rules-based-text generation. RBT is a complex formula (which i am simplifying here) that looks at the numbers in column A, compares then to column B and depending on the correlation of the two sets of numbers, moves to grab the appropriate, pre-determined response. this can be used to create all sets of reports previously written by warm-blooded mammals with opposable thumbs.
"the scariest thing is, computers don't even need healthcare benefits," whitney said as we all shuddered at her observation. "except computer viruses," dj cracked, "they're still suspectible to them."
