'Software' Automatic Could Write a Book Yourself

Normally, a book about a topic made ​​by the author who could spend months or even years to collect data. However, now there is an application that can do all the process automatically, in a matter of minutes anyway.

The application is the work of Philip M Parker, a professor of marketing at INSEAD business school. The algorithms implemented in computer software Parker makes it able to compile large amounts of data in a short time.



Interestingly, the book was written "on-demand" or on demand. For example, someone wants to "write" a book about the bird flu, he just type in the keywords related software such as "bird flu spreading across the world", and the application will automatically find and compile all the data into a single book page number in the hundreds .

This application opens a word processor application, write words, create tables, graphs, and puts it in writing, just like a real author. The time it takes? Just a few minutes to several hours.

Software creation Parker proved to be effective. Some 800,000 books were "written" by the firm is now sold by Amazon. Several other organizations have also paid to compile the data to be included in the report.

Manufacturing technology automatically by a computer is also not limited to writing a book. Video games can also be created without much human intervention.

However, surely there is a limit. Creative writing such as novels or entertainment products, for example, can not be made ​​by software Parker. Clearly, the data collection process can be much simplified.

Like what the workings of the Parker application made? Professor concerned to explain in the video below.
