The book titles mentioned in the article seem to be really facts oriented. The act of listing facts is the easiest part of writing anything, in my opinion. I would like to see a machine that could put something together like an Isaacson's biography on Einstein. List the facts of his life but then also draw out the way in which they interplayed with the world politics to lead him down the path he took.
Or maybe, I'm completely mistaken and all we need is to somehow better model this in the machine's database.
