Most of us love writing articles and can spend hours writing a good article. I always thought that original and unique articles can only be written by humans and not robots or a software. Guess what, I was wrong. Recently I came across a new class of softwares called Article Spinners. The way these software systems work is that you suggest a topic on which the article needs to be written. The software then goes out on the internet, collects lines and paragraphs from other web pages. Then 'Spins' it, that means it rewrites the new article by changing words, rephrasing sentences and moving lines around. Although the article that comes out is unique but it lacks quality.

The future of Article Writing will be governed by humans and not computer at least for the next few years. These automated softwares have not yet evolved enough. Additionally by taking content of others from the web, one is essentially 'stealing' the content. These softwares do not give credit to the original author from where they are taking the content from. These programs do not understand the topic as such, and therefore there is no gradual flow of thought. I feel it results in a complete mess.

Personally I feel Article Writing future still belongs to humans and not software or robots. Even though these software's will evolve over time, they still are far behind the curb. May be in future the 'Virtual Intelligence' will start to compete with human brain and possibly function even better.

So, cheer up all the hard working online authors out there, the future is still ours!

I have written several articles at http://www.writearticles.org and on this website depending on the topic I write. I hope that you will continue to write articles and share your knowledge with others.
