Well, when the best-selling word processing software comes with “auto-summarize” and other text generators, when reporters write their stories before the event, when paper mills and wikipedia make up an increasing portion of my grading material…. why not?

Honestly, I wasn’t sure he was kidding until I saw the list of “current users”….
