Botwriter: a new career for Hollywood wordsmiths
This could all change--or rather has to change, because humans need emotional connection. If AI-to-human interactions are to gain traction, we will need to develop AI sensitivity, somehow. In the meantime, a new job is up for grabs in Silicon Valley: robot poetry coach. Engineers are recruiting gifted authors and Hollywood screenwriters with sharp wits and a soft heart to make interactive conversational programs, known as bots, more human. They have the difficult job of teaching tact to Microsoft's Cortana and humor to Apple's Siri.
