Chinese Newspaper Auto Generating Science News - Robot Writers AI

China Science Daily is using artificial intelligence to auto-generate news stories, based on article abstracts it finds in major scientific journals. Those journals include some of the most influential scientific publications in the world, including Science, Nature, Cell and the New England Journal of Medicine. So far, China Science Daily has published more than 200 articles using AI. The primary impetus behind the effort: To offer Chinese scientists easy access to scientific research from around the world – devoid of language barriers -- according to Zhang Mingwei, deputy editor-in-chief, China Science Daily. Keaton Patti, who has written for Marvel and Comedy Central, says he trained an AI writing system to be Batman-savvy by having it view approximately 1,000 hours of Batman films. The result: "One has to wonder what the AI was computing when it had Batman say, "'Alfred, give birth to Robin,'" observes ScreenRant.
