I saw one of the talks about work in this area on youtube. Other than
the slight problem that they intialy focused on rambot articles their
aproach looked fairly soild. They also got their bot to the point
where it could pretty much write wikipedia articles by extracting info
from thre web. The other thing they found was than opening sentances
are very standardised which made them easy to extract information
from.
