I’ve started working on a project to see if I can make a computer program which can generate a reasonably readable article on a given subject automatically. It’s all a big mashup of various news and natural language processing APIs.
I’ve also discovered that there’s a whole bunch of public domain motion graphics assets on the web designed for use in christian churches, so I’ve been making a series of “Inspiring Quotations” youtube videos out of them. Stuff like Nietzsche, Anton LaVey, horrifying bible verses, and so on. So far I’ve finished seven, and I have enough material for probably a dozen more.
I’m trying to do my best to make it as un-spammy as possible, but how far I can get with that remains to be seen. I have a plan to take advantage of the inverted pyramid story structure so common in news reporting, along with entity extraction on the paragraph level, to get something out of it that’s more or less readable. I’ll post an example when my prototype works.

I would start with something like reuters API, http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ and some research on these guys http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ this is a fairly well studied problem by spammers, so I’d also work there
Thanks for the tips! I’ve been playing with the Alchemy API for NLP (http://www.alchemyapi.com/) and an API called DayLife (http://developer.daylife.com/) for news sources, etc.
