Someday, we will all be replaced by robots.

Okay, maybe not. But according to this article, a team of writers and scientists are collaborating on a project called "My Boss is a Robot." The idea is that a computer-programmed "boss" can be capable of stitching together the work of many writers into something resembling a piece with a single author. It's already proved successful in the writing of a short encyclopedia entry on New York City, and journalism could be its next target.
