Back a million years ago when my Vic-20 was still a current machine, I typed in a basic program (from Compute! Magazine--a few of my fellow old-timers will remember them) that turned the Vic into a music composer. It composed new music that sounded like Bach (it sounded pretty good to me). Even with advances in computer technology since, I haven't heard of any computer-created symphonies taking the world by storm and I KNOW that will be easier than composing the Great American Novel.

Even if computers will, someday, be able to write great fiction, I'm pretty sure a guy who thinks romance novels are all about body parts isn't going to be the one who programs them.
