Well in theory an automated system that created articles on order would be a reasonable replacement for wikipedia. Unfortunately 1)This won't be possible until we crack the natural language processing problem and 2) even with existing technology Cuil's attempt is just horrifically bad. For If whatever is left of the powerset team at microsoft tried something similar I would expect results to be better if still fairly useless. -- geni _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
