Lately people have been telling me that they don’t like the quality of the bot, so I’ve decided to disable it.

    It did pretty good. Some journalists would fill their article with so much useless information that the bot would unfortunately miss the two relevant sentences.

      The problem is that many journalists these days get paid by article length/word count, so they inflate the shit out of it and hope whoever is in charge of proofreading doesn’t cut too much out. If you compare articles written in newspapers/websites where they still have a regular staff on payroll vs. those that have more “guest authors” than anything, you’ll immediately see what I mean. It’s a shame really.
