A robot wrote an article for the Los Angeles Times

The city of Los Angeles recently experienced a 4.4 magnitude earthquake . Southern California had not experienced such an earthquake since 2008, but the new fact, the article was dedicated to him was written not by a human but by a powerful algorithm . Quakebot , as it is called is in fact an algorithm capable of analyzing a series of information and write an article. Once the paper is realized, it could be posted within 3 minutes by journalist Ken Schwencke, who signed his name.The reason? Man is also the developer of the program in question, on which he board for two years. Some wonder if in the future, we can totally do without writers to write news. It should however be noted that, once posted, the original article has been amended 71 times Quakebot and Team Los Angeles Times , which brought them moult additions and corrections.In addition, the article is intended solely for information (a kind of AFP, in fact.) This is not the first article written in this way, since Ken Schwencke and other developers officiate recent years on other models algorithms, which are able to write articles on sporting events or murder. They mainly used to ensure no common measure reactivity, since this kind of paper is ready to be put online within a few minutes after the fact.
