The Economist's essay contest featured an AI submission. Here's what the judges thought.

Earlier this summer, the Economist announced a competition for young people. They asked contestants to answer this question: "What fundamental economic and political change, if any, is needed for an effective response to climate change?" More than 2,400 people responded, from over 110 countries. And the Economist slipped one essay into the stack of submissions that their judges would review: an essay written by an artificial intelligence. The AI in question was GPT-2, a language-generating system developed by San Francisco AI lab OpenAI and announced this spring.
