Turing Test For News Services

from the Editor-Eliza dept

Google News automatically assembles news articles and has about a million monthly visitors. And everyone already knows that its automated. But if no one knew that, would Google News still have lost to WashingtonPost.com for a 'best internet news service' award? Apparently, news editors may have to pass a Turing test soon before they can be deemed worthy of awards or avoid criticisms for arranging news stories without the efforts of hard-working human beings.
