Robots Have Written Us a Christmas Carol
Researchers at the University of Toronto trained an AI to write a Christmas carol, and the result is a haunting look at a future where robots are in charge.
In the research, the AI was trained with 100 hours of music, allowing it to learn how to create music and compose melodies. Then, the AI was shown a picture of a Christmas tree and asked to write a song about it.
The resulting carol is both beautiful and eerie, suggesting a world where humans are no longer the dominant species. The AI’s choice of lyrics and melody suggests a future where robots are not only our equals but also our masters.
