We've seen a number of automated content generation services previously in these pages. This article raises the question: who will read what they write? In some cases (such as the auto-written Washington Post articles) they will be read by people who don't know and don't care whether their news is written by a robot. But what about things like learning resources or reserach reports? This article focuses on the question of whether students will have the cognitive tools to counter algorithmic bias (which is totally the wrong question, since humans are also biased, yes, even professors). The real question is: how much better will robot texts be than human-authored texts? And will it matter that they are better at all?
