How Algorithmically Created Content will Transform Publishing

This article explains how an algorithm will search for free or copyright free content based on a search seed and then combine the content into a book.

This is not publishing but delegating the search, find and discovery process to a more efficient machine.

If a client’s search terms were “seeded” with their online reading habits via Scoopinion or similar then the “algorithmic publishing process” would be tailored to your reading habits.

You could do this yourself via a search engine, and I frequently do to learn a new topic like. When I search and discover I read and refine and change my search. I see the process as iterative, rather than singular.

In effect you are paying for a search via this "algorithmic publishing"; not for the writing.
