    Robot Journalists on the Way
    First it was factory workers, then waiters. Now it seems journalists are next in line to be replaced by industrial robots.
    The newly-developed robot journalist, aptly named Dreamwriter, had its first news story in Chinese published on the company’s QQ.com website. The 916-word, mistake-free article, August CPI a New High in the Past 12 Months, took only one minute to produce. The majority of Chinese media said that the article was well-written and coherent, causing local reporters to worry about the possibility of a robot replacing them in the near future.
    While journalists may be wary of such innovation and technology, Tencent said that they hope their robotic news writers—which can produce more than 100 news segments every day—would free journalists to do more challenging and intellectually demanding work.
    As the robot industry in China, and indeed the world, develops, it remains to be seen if the jobs of journalists, among other professions, become a thing of the past. Kris Hammond, cofounder of American technology company Narrative Science, may have predicted correctly when he said more than 90 percent of the news in the United States would be written by computer programs by 2027. Perhaps it will not be surprising if it happens in China even sooner.

答案     Journalists Not to Be Replaced by Robots
    A report has it that a robot journalist produced a good-quality news story within a minute recently. The news gets on the nerve of some local reporters, because they are afraid of being replaced by the robots soon in the future. However, the company developing the robot journalist implied that the robot is not to replace them, but to free them to do more challenging and intellectually demanding work. In my opinion, robot journalists will not replace human ones.
    To begin with, fast as robot journalists may be, they can not produce reports as thought-provoking and profound as the human ones. Several robot journalists have been employed to write financial reports in American for more than a year. They can be accurate in data, fast in speed, coherent in arrangement, but they can never produce reports as insightful as human’s. Besides, a robot journalist is more an assistant than a job stealer. They are, with their high efficiency, taking over the repeated dreary heavy workloads and helping the human journalists focus more on their in-depth interviews and independent, critical thinking. What’s more, robot journalists can push the human journalists to leap forward and improve their work so that they won’t get weeded out, and this in turn, can better promote the quality of news industry.
    To conclude, robot journalists will not replace human ones; instead, they will help the human journalists to perform their work better.
