Trial 6 - The AutoSummarizer


The previous six pages of this document:

America.

(Applause.) (Applause.)

(Applause.) (Applause.)

America. (Applause.)

The world economy, the world
America.

(Applause.) (Applause.)

America. America.

America.

Hah! It's true that this would make a ringing speech for any President. But it hardly qualifies as an analysis of AutoSummarizer.

Although inhumanly adept at extracting hidden meaning, the software has failed to emulate the essence of humanity: self-consciousness. It cannot read its own navel.

I feel the satisfaction of delivering a blow for humanity. The writer is not redundant yet.

(Applause.)

(Applause.)

Applause!
