*"The system knows that women generally favor stories
about Brad Pitt, but after some real-time analysis, it
can quickly realize that men are far more like to click
on a Brad Pitt story that involves a sports movie."*
This is like Michael Frayn's first comic novel "The Tin Men" (1965), about programming a computer to produce an "automated newspaper".
"But people really preferred an air crash. ... What
people enjoyed most was about 70 dead, with some 20
survivors including children rescued after at least
one night in open boats. They liked it to be backed
up with a story about a middle-aged housewife who had
been booked to fly aboard the plane but who had
changed her mind at the last moment."
