Genesis, as the program is called, can apparently gather information and details and craft news stories. It’s being pitched as an assistant to journalists that can focus on more mundane tasks as it frees up reporters’ time. Some observers, according to The New York Times, found Genesis unsettling, and reported that Google sales reps took the effort of producing accurate news stories for granted.
