It seems to me the utility of the 'good' 50% depends entirely upon your ability to recognize it.

How do you know when to dig through those obscure manuals?

It seems to me that it'd be more useful when:

a) I don't care whether the text says things which are not true

Write me a poem about ...

b) I care, and will have to verify it's results, but that cost is worth it

Generate some test data ...

I think we're at a very dangerous intersection between an apparent decline in American's ability to detect nonsense and an automated way to create convincing nonsense.
