Software Writes News Articles

Uploaded by TheYoungTurks on Sep 15, 2011
A start-up known as Narrative Science designed a program that writes human-like stories. Right now it's used for sports articles but will it eventually be used to write news and politics articles? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

After decades of automation, which made millions of factory workes redundant, we are quickly approaching a pivotal point where office jobs are on the verge to become obsolete. Frankly, there not many professions left which are not vulnerable to automation. Even worse, the trend seems to follow exponential curve.

I believe a read a story like this, it didn't turn out to well. This is not the way that we should be heading, not only takes away jobs but it takes away one of the things that make humans so great.

@start12poop Just you wait...

LOVE automation! Let's automate as much as we fucking can, then people will be free from slave labor!
-
@start12poop not really, it was true, but today computers automate jobs through the entire chain. Meaning, we will see things more and more automated and soon there will be much more joblessness.

@VirtuesPenumbra That's only a matter of time. Just look at IBM's jeopardy computer!

This isn't even all that new nor impressive.
You just need to place pre-determined sentences, sort them out in to different parts of the report (intro/conclusion etc) and let the system pick up the names of the teams, players, score etc.

@TheMidwestAtheist I would like to point out that a computer/program CAN'T "learn".

I'm glad I went for computer science instead of journalism.

I think what people are missing here is that the program can only write, it can't report. I understand that the currently media doesn't generally take politicians to task, but a computer will likely never be able to. At least not in our lifetimes.
Computers can search, but they can't investigate. They can find the dots, but can't connect them. Show me a computer that can write sports stories, I'm not worried. Show me a computer that can be a sports columnist, now I'm scared.
