Need to Write 5 Million Stories a Week? Robot Reporters to the Rescue

Robots make pretty decent writers. If you don’t believe that, consider this: you’ve probably been reading computer-generated prose for years.

If you’ve ever read a Yahoo fantasy football report, a preview or recap of any NFL, MLB or NBA game, a weathercast, an insurance report or the Edmunds description of that car you wanted, you’ve likely read some of Wordsmith’s work

Wordsmith is an artificial intelligence system that uses mounds of data, quantitative analysis and some rules about style and good writing to churn out hundreds of millions of stories every year.
