He's pretty clear that he leave that to others and continues with TAOCP.
wrt you remark: to a large extend these are 'plagiarism' machines so one
can wonder about more. I suppose it also depends on how original these
programs are (or become). I don't see myself using such software, just
like I don't use all these software coding tools (ide stuff). When I
acn't remember what I'm doing, or need constant help popping up I should
not code. I'm intrigued of course, and see valid applications, but wrt
programming I'm just not that interested. I bet after a few years people
get bored with the artificial stuff (painting, music, proze, movies,
whatever; just hitting buttons doesn't make a creative person I guess),
unless of course one wants to be zombified.
