The following is an illustration of the necessity for electoral reform in Québec (replace the "first-past-the-post" system by a "proportional representation"). With 12% of the vote, one party gets 9 representatives in the Québec National Assembly, while the other, with 13.2%, is eradicated.

Il fut un temps où l'on ÉCRIVAIT et, à la fin, on laissait un correcteur automatique (ancêtre de l'Intelligence artificielle) y apporter des corrections. Maintenant, on laisse l'Intelligence artificielle écrire son livre (en gardant le titre d'« auteur »!) et, à la fin, on y « ajoute de l'humain ».
