NP Help with missing article?

[Kathleen Fitzpatrick]

For anyone interested, the fiction-writing computer I was seeking an
article about is named Brutus.1 and is under the care of Selmer Bringsjord
at RPI.  Thanks to James for finding the reference.

Incidentally, Paul said:

The trick Bringsjord is using is not far from this; he and his fellow
researchers wer able to develop a mathematical definition of "betrayal,"
which the computer was taught.  (Betrayal is currently its only conceptual
formation, however.)

Bringsjord's web site is at http://www.rpi.edu/~brings/.  Follow the link
to the Tech Review for an article about the project.

Thanks again.
