Fascinating story of how a co-writing algorithm works embedded into a nice little sci-fi story. A few things to note here. First the initial data had some very unexpected results (like the number of women speakers). Second, and this kind of expected, some of the advices were highly statistical. For a better experience these need more semantics. Third the end result kinda lacked something, like a character. But still such applications might be good trainers - preparing creative artists for real works.
