I find it interesting that so many people are having defensive reactions to this, trying to explain why they think this 'doesn't count', isn't important or significant in some way, etc. Perhaps this is rooted in some fear of obsolescence? I'm not sure. Rather than thinking "this machine can't do it as good as me", why not think of ways you could use the machine to enhance your own abilities? I think it would be really interesting to have a system at my disposal that can "read" a book and generate book reports/digests. This could allow me to spend less time reading speculatively and focus more of my (finite) reading time on books I am already reasonably confident contain what I'm after. (Edit: maybe it's because the headline frames it as a competition, setting people to think of themselves competing with the machine, rather than collaborating with it.)
