	Ask HN: A story about a research adviser who automated himself
	11 points by georgiev 3402 days ago
	Some time ago I read a story here about a researcher who automated his paper critiques. The scripts detected weak sentences or something. I've been rummaging for about 2 hours through my bookmarks, history and HN history and I can't find it. Did anyone remember facts about that story, bookmarks or direct links? That would be much appreciated.

Was it Matt Might? He wrote "3 shell scripts to improve your writing, or 'My Ph.D. advisor rewrote himself in bash.'"

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
