We've commented in the past on weird writing when reviewing some stories from the minors. Well, it turns out, it's often because robots have been dispatched to do the coverage. And now, the Associated Press is announcing that they will using automated writing to cover more than 10,000 minor league games annually.

The Associated Press has been using automated writing in some form since July 2014, when it began using technology from Automated Insights to produce earnings report stories. The AP now uses automation to produce more than 3,500 earnings reports stories about U.S. companies every quarter. In 2015, The Associated Press announced that it would begin using automation to produce NCAA game stories and hired its first Automation Editor, Justin Myers.


What times we live in.

Minibot is way ahead of the AP. He has been crunching numbers and writing about baseball for years.

Just instruct the robot to calculate a batting average from a 1 for 3 night, to the final digit. Problem solved.


I believe this was the solution to shutting down the Borg.
