Meet Articoolo, the robot writer with content for brains

And at this juncture in the Internet's evolution it seems very plain, Dear Online Reader, that you are mostly being served a tsunami of content -- accelerated into your attention trough by click-dependent digital business models which require a steady stream of word fodder to engage eyeballs long enough to ambush them with ads. You can weep for the state of the written word -- and let's face it, a whole lot of content isn't even written these days; I mean why expend energy composing actual sentences when you can just livestream a melon being slow-ploded by rubber bands? The second option is what Israeli startup Articoolo has been busy doing. It's built an algorithm that can generate an article on a topic of your choice -- so long as it can be described in between two and five words. Just sum up your subject concisely, tell the machine how many words (max 500) to scribe on your behalf, and select whether you prefer "better readability" or "enhanced uniqueness".
