Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I've been playing with "mass averaging synthesis machines", variations on "automated plagiarism", "content theftwashing systems"
still undecided tho
I'm still partial to "spicy autocomplete" as a good analogy for how these systems actually work that people have more direct experience with. Take those Facebook posts that give you the first few words and say "what does autocomplete say your most used words are?" and make answering the question use as much electricity as a small city.
As much as it is a good phrase, I’m too used to seeing “spicy” as a compliment, so it doesn’t work for me!
Charles Stross suggested "Blarney Engine"
Considering the amount I have to say the term whenever ranting or debating, something that can be shortened is welcomed. I like the idea of calling "automated plagiarism," since it can be shortened to "autoplag" which is also ugly sounding.
autoplag pronounced like “auto-plag” or “auto-plage”?
"Auto-plague"
