Do you ever read a game recap in the newspaper and say to yourself, "Man, a robot could totally do something like this."
Well, guess what? Robots already are doing it. Some kids at the Intelligent Information Laboratory at Northwestern University are suggesting that an average game day story can be bolted together without human intervention. Crawlers, using tried and true language, bolt in language and quotes automatically and before you know it, a story is written. The project, called Stats Monkey, naturally produces pretty lifeless writing, but then again, most game recaps are pretty lifeless anyway.
Considering newspapers are doing everything possible to save money these days, we may soon have robots doing game recaps instead of people. And then proceeding to take over the world.
