Google Tests A.I. Tool That Can Write News

This just in!

Everything you’re about to read about artificial intelligence will be written by artificial intelligence. At a certain point when everything that we consume is written by AI, and everything that we do is run by AI won’t be the point of us? This is unsettling and happening quickly. It’s not just manufacturing jobs anymore folks. The future is Natalie now, but perhaps it’s so late at the future was then, and we’re beyond.

The tool, known internally by the working title Genesis, can take in information — details of current events, for example — and generate news copy, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the product.

One of the three people familiar with the product said that Google believed it could serve as a kind of personal assistant for journalists, automating some tasks to free up time for others, and that the company saw it as responsible technology that could help steer the publishing industry away from the pitfalls of generative A.I.

Some executives who saw Google’s pitch described it as unsettling, asking not to be identified discussing a confidential matter. Two people said it seemed to take for granted the effort that went into producing accurate and artful news stories.

A Google spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Times and The Post declined to comment.
