The First Machine-Generated Book by a Scholarly Publisher Is a Boring Read - Gizmodo

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he decided to make a stop at the Gizmodo site. With hardly any digging in the posts our inquisitive kitty found one about artificial intellegence (AI) and books.

According to Andrew Liszewski, the first machine-generated book has been published by a publisher. The book was generated by an algorithm developed at Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany. The book is titled Lithium-Ion Batteries, A Machine-Generated Summary of Current Research. The machine algorithm read (analyzed) thousands of information sources about lithium-ion batteries and distilled the information into the book. The post includes a link to download a copy of the ebook in either PDF or Epub format.

Insomnia? I've got the cure.

Panzer says, "This little kitty isn't too worried about AI. Mom started reading that ebook to me and within ten minutes we were both sleeping away the afternoon."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the link and download the book, also bring a sleeping bag. (You have been warned.)
