Good lord, what have we humans created? Unplug all the artificial intelligence right now, because it’s going to fucking murder us all.
That, my friends, is the dulcet tones of an experiment run by the University of Toronto where researchers tasked an AI with looking at a picture of a Christmas tree and writing a song relevant to what it sees.
Run on some souped up Nvidia hardware, the neural network was given 100 hours of music training, including how to compose a song before it was left to spin its nightmares.
This, together with image recognition technology birthed the monstrosity above. It will also be the last thing you hear as your family is torn apart by cyborgs on Christmas morning. Mark my words.
