He did, but I only know you can teach one to paint by numbers. Translations are complicated even for humans. (The author picked one of 7 words in French that mean the same thing, now the translator must pick one of 5 in English that mean the same thing.) Writing with a thesaurus at the front of the brain probably wouldn't help. That is exactly how the smart program I mentioned does in fact work. Add the complication that self-aware machines would be unfathomabe to humans as to interest and attention.
