Skynet Not Just in the News but Writing It

Below you will find a news story written by a computer.  No, not written on a computer, but written by a computer.  The story was generated by Narrative Science, a company that designs artificial intelligence capable of writing stories based on data.  The data for this story came from the pitch by pitch account of the Robbinsdale Cubs Little League home opener fed into an iPod app.  I’d report a bit on the game myself but as you’ll read below Skynet (oops I mean Narrative Science) did a fine job.
