Novel Composed By AI Robot Passes First Round Of Writing Contest

You might want to take the help of artificial intelligence. Developed by scientists in Japan, a super-smart AI robot recently authored a short story, with some assistance from humans. What is more, the work has made it through the initial stages of screening, as part of a literary competition. While the feat is a testament to the fast-improving capabilities of artificial intelligence, the software isn't completely self-aware when it comes to articulating coherent thoughts using words, and creating original pieces of literature. The short novel, titled "Konpyuta ga shosetsu wo kaku hi" (meaning'the day a computer writes a novel'), was composed with help from scientists at Japan's Future University Hakodate.
