An artificial intelligence program has written a Christmas carol. Researchers at the University of Toronto used their "neural karaoke" program to write a Christmas carol based off of a "Christmassy photograph," The Guardian reports. The scientists simply uploaded the photograph into a computer hosting the program and then "let it do its thing." The artificial intelligence program then wrote several lines of lyrics and sang them to music it composed during the process. All things considered, the results were impressive, but the artificial intelligence-generated Christmas carol still falls flat in many ways.
