Right. These tools simply automate the CLERICAL task of using a
thesaurus. Now, that COULD be helpful under the right circumstances,
but it doesn't replace the human thought process.

I went and looked at the links provided for existing programs of this
type, and they appear to be nothing more than thesaurus plug-ins that
make it easier for someone to find alternate words to select from. I
don't think the results of using these would be any worse than what
would be produced by someone who was manually looking up words, but
something that did it automatically would probably be of use only to
someone who was inclined to cheat in the next Bulwer-Lytton contest.
