The robot evolution is promising to take away jobs, traditionally performed by humans, but positions requiring creativeness are said to remain in human domain. However, a Japanese AI proved recently that even creativity could become just a matter of carefully designed algorithms.

Hitoshi Matsubara, a professor of computer science from the Future University in Hakodate in Japan, announced on Monday that his research team's project, a short sci-fi novel that was co-written by an AI, was doing pretty well, passing the initial round of screening for a national literary prize. Eventually, the novel didn't win first prize, it does however make one wonder - is any job postition safe from robot domination?

Reportedly, the bot-co-written book is entitled "The Day a Computer Writes a Novel" and tells a story about a computer's dream to write novels. The robot goes on to leave his service for humans and pursues its creative life of a novelist. The plot and the characters may sound as if human-invented, because they were. AI actually only connected the dots (including words and even some pre-written sentences) to create a storyline. 

According to Matsubara, AI programs have so far often been used to solve problems that have answers, such as Go and shogi. He added: "In the future, I'd like to expand AI's potential [so it resembles] human creativity." Using robots to take part in creative processes is a huge thing at the moment, as internet and social media are buzzing with the numerous possibilities that kind of match-made-in-heaven (or hell?) between technology and intelligence would offer.

Imagine you would have access to endless data on anything you could possibly imagine, and then - create, think, invent... The future seems to be quite overwhelming. And scary in the wrong hands.
