Christmas carol writing AI proves humans are still better at a few things

As we near the dawn of the robot apocalypse, this is proof that you're probably safe for at least a few more weeks. Colorado-based research scientists Janelle Shane recently trained her own neural network to write its own Christmas carols. Using a collection of about 240 carols ranging from "What Child is This?" to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," Shane turned the neural net loose with zero instruction. First, it attempted to find patterns in the songs, thus making its own rules of what goes together. From there, it cross-references its creation to existing Christmas (not-so) favorites in an attempt to check its own work. It learns to capitalize letters when they should be capitalized, and to utilize linebreaks to make the creation readable.
