One of the largest American publications, The Washington Post, has joined the list of companies using artificial intelligence, which, according to the representatives of the American daily newspaper, is very helpful to the editorial staff with writing posts on the Olympic Games in Rio.
The staff of the newspaper is working on an artificial intelligence program, which was specially developed to cover, process and publish content covering the main aspects of sports. Posts of the robot should have already appeared on the website and on the newspaper's tweet. Examples of his messages can be seen below.
Journalists, and those who are just about to become them, should not be worried, because the bot does not mark your place, "reassured our worried colleagues Jeremy Gilbert, head of digital projects at The Washington Post." We did not attract a robot in order to replace them with living journalists. On the contrary, the bot will help specialists concentrate on writing detailed articles, and will take on all the routine and boring work.
A bot-journalist named Heliograph is completely devoid of imagination, so we will not wait for him to speak beautiful speech and deep analytics, but he can quickly and emotionally "charge" the sports team's website with a newspaper or show the current alignment of medals. that he will quickly learn how to add other figures not related to the Olympics, or attract to the composition of the April Fools' rallies, finally releasing the employees of the publication from a dull and boring obligation.
