Man writes 200,000 books... writes 235 pages in 13 minutes...EDIT: Turing test?
Philip M. Parker has written 200,000 books, any of which can be easily purchased on Amazon.com. He sells the books for money.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/14/bu...1&ref=business
Dr. Parker can conduct and write a 235 page research study in about 13 minutes. He can make a video game in 5 minutes.
Video of him conducting and writing a research study:
YouTube - Patent on "Long Tail" for automated content authorship.
Amazing... my future professors can be reptiles.
EDIT: Anyone think this might be a candidate for the Turing Test? It fooled at least one reader.

The Times article link didn't work for me 
But the YouTube video did.
What this guy did is truly AMAZING.. The program he talks about in the video, is it real?
Can this program do my homework for me? It would save me from all-nighters I have to pull.

Interesting.
I think the voice in the video was automatically generated as well.

I am looking at this stuff on Amazon and it all appears to be extremely random data that he sells for $500-$700 dollars. I don't understand this at all, its very strange and confusing. Then there are a bunch of reviews that are weird and sarcastic (or at least I think they are sarcastic).

I mean, I can't tell if some of the reviews are honest. What the hell? I am having one of those weird internet moments.

i get the feeling that these "books" are not intended for somebody who knows a thing or two about their public library and/or google searching.

I guess this is what they meant by "Death of the Author"

The Turing Test focuses on the interaction between the tester and the testing subject; a book cannot offer interaction in this sense.

Cool idea and I can see how it could save a lot of time for a lot of people.

His next titles will be "The 2017-2038 Outlook for Cherry-Scented Latex iPhone Sheaths in Mesopotamia" and "The Official Patient's Sourcebook for Chronic Progressive Audiophilia"
