BTW, this is what he says about the process:

"The 'algorithms' depend on the genre. The most advanced use parametric, non-parametric as well as Bayesian econometrics, graph theory, and meta analysis (mostly coupled with some specialized computational linguistics and editorial rules that are required within certain genres) -- each piece is rather straight forward; the combination allows complexity. In terms of IT or programming languages, there is no rigidity to this - again it depends on the genre. If animation is the goal, then code is written to write MEL scripts, etc., which can automate Maya, which can in turn automate rendering, lights, etc., via macros. This works well, but for only certain aspects of that genre."
 
Read 'The Singularity is Near' by Raymond Kurzweil. It will blow your mind.

In only 15-25 years a $1,000 computer will be as fast as the human brain.
 
Damn, that is interesting. Automation is getting to the point that, if not controlled, it could run about anything. This may be an automated reply... ;)

Sick! Your automated reply even included a winky face to indicate sarcasm. Now that is an advancement in technology
 
Has anyone read the short story, "the great article grammatizator" or something by Roald Dahl? The protagonist in the story creates a machine that can create novels by itself and then goes on to become the biggest and richest publisher in the country and ends up buying out the leading writers.

After watching the video, i've come to the conclusion that "the great article grammatizator" is a definite possibility in the near future. Especially since hardware is evolving at such a rate nowadays that a lot of previously unsolvable A.I problems can be solved now.
 
Great video Riddar :)

We're alive for some very interesting times, unbelievable what we're all going to witness if we live another 30 years at the current rate of development.
 
You can't automate creativity. As we automate more and more, the human elements in production become rarer, and more valuable. But also more competitive.
 
What he's doing right now is very financially targeted. Much of the output on that screen that was being edited were charts and tables. Doubt it'd be effective in anything fiction, contrary to what he claims.
