Probably not, because nowadays robots a everywhere. Robots are a hot topic in the media. Journalists are often seeking potential stories in Twitter. A short link in a tweet is then the starting point to search for more information. Sometimes the journalist is lucky. An article with breaking news is then the result. In other cases, structured data, for instance the result of a football game, must be converted into an article which is ideally complemented with some background information. Along these processes, robots may support one or the other task. In some cases, the robot may even substitute the human journalist.
