I think you look into too much the word "book". The books you're thinking is a type of content. But if you look at book as a delivery technology (a stack of paper together) then its perfectly reasonable to have generated books, just like you have generated pdf reports with generated charts and graphs. To make the kind of book you and I think of as content (novels, investigative journalism, etc...) using a pure AI/machine approach is still a bit away. Personally, I'm experimenting AI + human solution to create the kind of books most people would want to read. You are probably referring to this man. "Philip M. Parker (born June 20, 1960) holds the INSEAD Chair Professorship of Management Science at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France). He has patented a method to automatically produce a set of similar books from a template which is filled with data from database and internet searches.[1] At Amazon.com, Parker is listed as the author of 107,000 books that his program created and overall he claims to have produced 200,000 different titles.[2][3] This would make him one of the most prolific authors in the world. Parker publishes the automated books through ICON Group International, using several ICON group subheadings. Via EdgeMaven Media, he also provides applications for firms from different business domains to create their own computer-authored content material.[4][5]" See: * http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/14/business/media/14link.html?_r=3&adxnnl=1&pagewanted=print&adxnnlx=1319130153-hklXOkF7+spMHNqafbUt8w http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/14/business/media/14link.html... * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_M._Parker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_M._Parker
