Will copywriters be replaced by machines?
 

I had thought that copywriters could not be replaced by machines...

But is it true? This article by Bob Bly has me questioning it!

Why not check it out?

Can a Computer Write Better Copy Than You?

You may be interested to know that robots are now writing newspaper stories. The Los Angeles Times had a story about an earthquake and it was written
by a robot or should I say computer. The Associated Press has some "automated" news articles. You have to look at it from their point of view.
Robots don't argue, they don't complain or go on strike and don't ask for raises or sick leave :D But don't worry, they do not have any robotic forum moderators yet.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for sharing that article... Very interesting!

Your forum comment brings up an interesting issue... Will we one day have "robot" forums? We'll just have robots talking to each other... We humans perhaps can peer in, and just read the wisdom that fellow robots share with each other?

Of course, if the robots are talking to each other, they don't need English... The forums will probably just be streams and streams of 0's and 1's !

A really funny robot joke on such a forum might look like this...

00100011 010111100011 01010111000?
10011111011 11101111 1110101 !!!

Get it? (I think that joke was about the robot's mother-in-law...) ;)

Thanks for sharing, Trevor!

Best wishes,
