The Process of the Present

I saw that Google has a new application brewing in their labs:  Google Scribe.  This apparently uses the power of Google to help autocomplete not just your searches but also anything that you write.  This is one small step for helping grad students write their dissertations and one giant leap for monkeys writing Shakespeare.  Presumably it uses the cumulative text of the Internet to decide the best word for you to use---I'm guessing after several iterations, you could quite possibly get the finest distillation of the collective writings of humanity ever conceived (or is that the lowest common denominator...?)

I decided to give this a spin and got the following result.  I only entered the first word of each sentence and then let Google suggest the rest of the sentence word by word:
Hello world.  Hi there I am in the process of the present.  It is a very good job.  I'm not sure if it is not a valid stream resource in C minor for Piano and Orchestra.  Dennis Hopper allegedly smokes pot in front of the domain name you entered.  He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to a refund.

This is a great way to get a good deal of the day and night to make sure that the following conditions are met.  The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as being potentially offensive.  These are the most common causes of death in the United States.  Hmm, I wonder if the same is true for the Front Range of Colorado.

Who's Online Now in Japan?  What is Autoshare?  Where to Buy the Best Stuff on Earth?  Why choose IngentaConnect?  How to Make a Website for Free with Free Web Hosting?

So maybe it's not quite Shakespeare, but perhaps a little Dada.
