downloadsquad.com — There are very few authors who don't use a personal computer to compose their works but, what if the computer could write a book on its own? That's precisely what a piece of software called MEXICA aims to do, and in fact is doing. MEXICA, developed by Rafael Pérez y Pérez, is a computer program capable of authoring stories all by itself.

Actually, Richard Dawkins (Oxford professor, author, reknowned opponent of organized religion) wrote a program well over a decade ago in a documentary that put this exact concept to work -- a computer trying to generate a line from Shakespeare.His point was to illustrate how natural selection works and demonstrate natural selection is not about randomness. The purely random algorithm in his program never produced any progress, but a different algorithm which filtered out mistakes, made rapid progress. Trivia tidbit for your day.
