back to article Wanna work for El Reg? Developers needed for headline-writing AI bots

The Register seeks full-time developers and data scientists to build software tools to generate El Reg-style headlines and other text. This technology will draw upon the work of top UK academic Professor Warren Rice, who has assembled a database of more than one million news stories, including the entire Register archive, and …

      A few years ago, I wrote this Bullshit Generator during one particularly obnoxious meeting.

      Sample outputs:

      • He can not revitalize traction to engage our cohesive deliverables
      • Nobody will evangelize vision to commoditize their organic groundswell
      • She might inject buzz to productize his lateral buttocks

      Etc.

      Yes, all those buzzwords (except buttocks - I just threw that in there) and more featured during this meeting, although it's not an exhaustive list, and predates the likes of "blockchain", so needs an update.

      Incidentally, I've heard unconfirmed rumours of "blockchain" being used as a verb, as in "We need to blockchain our strategy moving forward". It was bound to happen.

      Also, I have a program that already does everything that the Reg requires, with the small problem that the output is entirely in Whitespace 2003. (Of which today is the 15th anniversary).

    Having given it some thought, I have decided it would be far easier to create a blindingly brilliant headline, and then set about crafting a story to go with it.

    We could buy up spare intelligence agency time on the grey market and give them the already written article as their mission to make it real.

    I appreciate ElReg wouldn't be the first organisation to come up with such a tactic, and they might have to pay some kind of royalty fee to several governments, but removing the constraint of factual accuracy from the problem, makes the coding far easier.

    Some prior work in writing in the style of The Register...

    https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/03/calling_doctor_caroline_langensiepen_of_nottingham_trent_uni/

    My AI cracked the encryption

    My AI decrypted NM5DXDSG1CWGQH0WWJAHLRL9GADXAZXJEU5IX3BK to news@theregister.co.uk

    I trained it using "NM5DXDSG1CWGQH0WWJAHLRL9GADXAZXJEU5IX3BK" and news@theregister.co.uk.

    Five years of experience with tensorflow... that will make the list of qualified applicants very short :-)

    After the initial laughing subsided, I actually start to like the idea. It is one of those cases where we laugh today - and it might be implemented tomorrow'ish.

    I am looking forward to some geek pulling an all-nighter and implementing he beta version.
