The Real Impact of SSE?

Jeff Jarvis has us thinking and talking about SSE, the new two-way RSS technology just starting to be deployed.

Many of the commentators are wondering what its impact will be but seem to focus on the human aspects - how it will allow conversation and collaboration and comment.

But the real advance here might be at the machine level. As a news story is pushed out, the server can communicate via SSE with other SEE-enabled information sources and, via tagging, keyword, and concept recognition, set up-to-the-minute context: Wikipedia and blog entries, stock quotes, related stories in that publication or others, and (as Jarvis notes) such mundane capabilities such as spell-checking and simple copyediting.

Wil machines finally make editors obsolete? Or will reporters be freed from worrying about context so they can focus on reporting the news? (Just to be clear: Reporters of course need to know the context of any story - but there's no reason they should be spending time finding links to Web-resources, when a machine could do the first pass; reporters should, of course, check those links and improve on them if they can.)
