I have wrote a script that dynamically rewrites articles on your article web pages.
I know what your thinking.... The grammar of the rewritten articles is correct and cloaking style sentences

Wow ... is there one? Any one that exists would be the best, I would think
The best content editors/spinners require you to write alternative snippets and then they mix them around. It is quicker than rewriting a whole article but could not write an article from scratch for you.

How true. I expect the people quoted above are essentially small, greedy dot.com businesses, and that government, universities, big businesses and manufacturers take a different attitude. Nevertheless it’s all a bit scary.

I feel for these people. Really, I do. They’re stuck with this messy thing called WRITING which came into the world millennia ago and will go away as soon as techies invent a method for wiring one’s brain directly into a text-generating program. Then the “figure out what I mean, do it quickly, and don’t charge me much” folks won’t have to write “snippets” to give to their editors and rewriters.
Seriously, though, people who consider writing and editing to be a form of clerical work that deserves little time, effort, and budget tend to be people who don’t have much feeling for what consumers want.
When I worked in Tokyo in the 1980s, technical writing and translation were considered to be production skills akin to typing. (American companies had similar attitudes a decade or so earlier.) Editing and rewriting became respected in Japan when manufacturers discovered that people wouldn’t buy their cameras and other equipment if they couldn’t read the instructions.
Those who value communications with consumers tend to value writers and editors as essential links.
