A computerized reporter
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Working at a newspaper can be an trying experience - bad coffee, worse jokes and the distraction of all those people sitting around me shouting into telephones.
I comforted myself with the thought that at least it wasn’t likely that a computer would ever replace me. But I guess I was wrong. A financial news service is now using computers to write some stories.
It’s a pretty good deal for the news service. The computer is unlikely to spend a lot of time chatting with friends and will never complain about the bad food in the cafeteria.
