Re: [TCP] ArborText Question
Where does said management type think that the information used by ArborText Epic comes from? Magic? I could see where a properly designed and used setup may call for fewer technical writers, but things don't just appear in ArborText or any other program without some human input. Someone still has to enter information somehow and tag it properly for use. Yes, engineers could be taught to do this--but then you will probably need more engineers. -Original Message- One of our management types here seems to think that ArborText will replace technical writers.

Re: [TCP] ArborText Question
It's probably also telling that within the past year, I have seen three separate postings advertising open tech writer positions with PTC, the company that owns ArborText. Of course, they could be for the same position each time, but I don't think they were.

Re: [TCP] ArborText Question
*shakes fist at Bill* *I* was gonna say that! There are no AI engines that are good enough to replace human beings. My company has done (and is doing more) research in this kind of area and whilst theory suggests it is possible, replicating it in a production/business environment is decades away at present. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Swallow Sent: 25 January 2008 15:26 To: gabyer Cc: tcp@techcommpros.com; stclwrsig-l Subject: Re: [TCP] ArborText Question I don't recall Arbortext announcing a breakthrough in AI.
