On the morning of March 14, Ken Schwencke rolled out of bed, logged into the LA Times content management system and published a story about an earthquake that happened three minutes prior. This is interesting only in the particulars: Schwencke didn’t write a word of the story - no human did. The story was written by a bot. Specifically, a bot programmed by Schwencke to write a story about earthquakes minutes after they happen, so the LA Times can have something on its website about it first, and faster than any human can do the job. All Schwencke had to do was check the story to see if the bot did its job and hit publish. Welcome to the dawning days of storybots: programs that write stories so humans don’t have to. Bots now write simple stories about softball games, corporate earnings reports, the weather and, yes, earthquakes. Some of them are extraordinarily simple — basic programming knowledge is all that’s required. Others are quite sophisticated — they rely on more complex tools to arrive at a simple story.
