Can an AI bot write technical documents?

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

All this talk about identities reminded me of artificial intelligence and
got me to thinking if an AI bot could carry on a better conversation than
that person we don't know.  They do.  

So now I wonder, if an AI bot could perform basic technical writing tasks.
Like if information from a work flow was given to a bot, can the bot piece
the information together in a reasonably intelligent way so that the work
would really only require editing by a person?  At least for some pieces of
the documentation anyway.

Talk to a bot and make your own decision.

The turinghub is limited to five minutes, but I think it is the original big
name internet AI bot, named after the Turing test, of course.

Bildgesmythe took attitude with me when I asked if it could write technical
documents.  "The bot no longer wants to talk to you."  You know it's sad
when you bots blow you off.  http://www.personalityforge.com/directchat.php
