    Hello!
    I was wondering if automatically generated text reports about stock price movements can be considered SPAM or DUPLICATION. I have seen software packages which are able to generate easily readable and very helpful reports - via transforming the table based numerical information into coherent textual summary for the humans to easier to interpret. Here is an example system being described called Stock Reporter:

    I wonder what you think of such a way of content generation?

    Looking forward to hear what you think,

    I mean if Google can detect duplication in the content - a certain amount of th repetitiveness - can that be considered spam?

    Even taking into consideration all the achievements of the artificial intelligence, I'm very skeptical about such generators. I'm still under the inspiration of Turing test - machine will never "think" as human brain does.
