Dear reporters - Your (sic) fired.
I find the last paragraph the most interesting, where they tell you this is just for the simple stuff, that they will always need you for the harder work.
That's what they told 100 million Americans just before they shipped their good jobs overseas and replaced them with today's 4 1/2% unemployment full of Mcjobs and no hope, ever.
So I let my spell checker loose on the title, just in your memory.

The Washington Post is Using AI to Write Stories During the Rio Olympics
...
The Washington Post, one of the USs largest newspapers is going to use artifical intelligence to write about the Olympics in Rio, which begin tomorrow.
The Post is using software of its own creation, Heliograph, to create content covering basic aspects of the games. The papers site and Twitter (among other outlets) will start posting stories as early as tomorrow morning. The stories will be posted without a word written from a breath drawing human.

Fear not, present and future newsfolk, these robots arent looking to take your jobs. In fact, according to Jeremy Gilbert, head of The Posts new digital projects department, Were not trying to replace reporters. Were trying to free them up. The AI will be focusing on simple aspects of the games such as scores and medal counts, mostly data related facts, thus freeing up the human reporters to tackle more complex stories
