Software does not “create” text; it regurgitates what has been programmed into it. Even when it is able to produce new arrangements, it is not creating anything.What distinguishes humans from other species and from computers is not the ability to spit out sentences, but to use intelligence to understand and adapt. [...] Until a computer can truly act beyond what it has been programmed to do, it is nothing more than a computer.PAUL GLASSER Westfield, N.J. The writer is a linguist.
