Dreaming Of An Ai Christmas Tune



Every year we get a few new Christmas songs but in the World of Ai we can expect a few more and the University of Toronto have come up with something called ‘Neural Karaoke' which is a program which can write a tune and lyrics about any image it is presented with so the profs gave it a picture of a Christmas Tree, asked it to produce a Taylor Swift type song and waited for the result.
Now Ai doesn't have much concept of Christmas so they were not hopeful and as it turned out, they were quite right not to be because, to be polite, it won't be topping any Christmas Charts anytime soon despite being trained on over 100 hours of online music and having a vocabulary of thousands of words at it's disposal.
Presumably they primed the neural network with a Lady Gaga album but if it's a choice between this and Justin Beiber, then all power to the robots
