Don't know about this IBM PeP Talk thingie, but this seems sorta similar to
this guy Ray Kurzweil who has a program (RKCP, Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic
Poet)which generates poetry based on poems it has read using language modeling
techniques. (i don't know what that means...but he's got a book so maybe i
should read it...) Maybe this PeP Talk is the corporate version to boost
moral.

(this knowledge comes from yet another great Random Impulse Buy at the
magazine store http://www.rattapallax.com/ . This Kurzweil guy was on the cd
that came with the book.)
