This is hysterical. Three MIT grad students wrote a computer program designed to generate scientific papers (complete with charts and graphs). They submitted two of the papers to the upcoming “World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics” (WMSCI), and one of the papers was accepted! Amazingly, as of now, the students have not been disinvited from presenting at the conference and are raising money through donations to go. They plan on presenting a computer-generated talk.

Update: According to their website, they now HAVE been disinvited to the conference. I tell ya, those Systematic Cybernetic Informatic fellas: No sense of humor.
