One woman made a very good point about discovery being a creative process, and anyone that's written a song knows that. You never end up with the song you started off with. I'm having fun with the thought that, with EVERYONE having access to this, the only edge employers will have will be their creatives, non-techies etc - all the stuff that you can't automate.
