The genie would be more fun if it beat chance, though. Apparently I write academic work like a woman, write emails like a man. I wonder if that makes me a diversity hire.
I think that at least the people who go to palm readers won't be put off by issues of accuracy. Hearing about yourself...automated! You have to figure that if someone made a similar algorithm but said it was for determining your mood or outlook or whatnot, they could sell it as a service. Any VCs in the audience? Who wants to stake me?
