Some translations surpass the original texts, thanks to the translator. Can a text become more poetic by being re-written into more beautiful language by an open-source algorithm? The algorithm could be tweaked and improved by poetry-lovers and writers, and would function as an editor. A mundane text (ie a recipe) could more closely resemble poetry after such a process. Then a final editing stage could be done with care and attention by a human. Such a tool could encourage non-writers into a creative editing process, by doing some of their work for them.
