My worry here is computers will learn to write articles specific to every individual. The computer will know what other articles we liked and what we didn't like and just try to write to what we want to read. This will make it even less likely we'll hear an opposing view to our own, if the computers are giving us what we want to read.



We don't need computers to do this, people do it already. Most "news" channels spew out such a monotonous train of thought, that it makes me wonder if switching to a news channel these days is even worth it. For now, I am able to get my news and information online from a variety of sources that offer me interesting views on both sides. Even if one day all of this is content produced by machines, I think its the individual's responsibility to make sure that he/she gets information from both sides.
