Who would have thought that software would be able to replace the people in creating articles? Wordsmith is a program still in beta that is based on artificial intelligence to generate articles or reviews customizable. It will be the end of the journalists? We find out in more detail what are the novelties brought by Wordsmith and if this software is able or not to replace the work done by a human being.
A program can replace the man?
Technology has made great strides. In the past, many writers have tried to revolutionize the collective imagination bringing the machines to replace the work done by man. This is the concept behind a lot of technologies that allow to replace humans with machines or computers in repetitive or dangerous work.
The idea behind Wordsmith is to create articles and reviews, by standing at a real program can replace journalists and writers.
Wordsmith: how does it work?
But what is the operating principle of Wordsmith ? The creative company, Automated Insights, has exploited the considerable progress made by artificial intelligence. Just think, not surprisingly, the supercomputer Watson of IBM, can analyze vast amounts of data and be able to learn the same.
In fact, Wordsmith seems to be a platform for “smart” can generate articles and reviews customizable. However, entering the site of the company creator, it turns out that Wordsmith must have some baseline data. Thanks to solid sources, the program is able to self generate texts.
However, the second passage always requires a human intervention. In fact, Wordsmith requires an intermediate step in which to customize the text and style of writing.
Wordsmith: what are the benefits?
While Wordsmith is software that can not yet compete with journalists and writers, on the other hand is an important tool to automate part of the process, especially when there are significant amounts of data to analyze.
Wordsmith: a false threat to journalism
So, the program created by the Automated Insights is not a real threat. In fact, the company offers mainly the product to those who work in the markets in which the data is important.
We can say with certainty that the creation of a writing program completely automated can replace man It is still a utopia. Write a text is a complex action for a computer and be able to emulate the language, the style of writing and thinking seems to be really impossible.
