Christmas Day AI

A Christmas Carol by Artificial Intelligence

Alex Moltzau

--

This year, still, in 2019 a research scientists trained on a dataset of 40GB text from the Internet, then gave the text 240 carols and then asked it what comes after “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”. It was trained on GPT2.

Here’s what it added.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, with its red belly
The All-gracious King of all the earth,
Had a baby at Christmas time,
On Christmas Day,
A true and holy Deity,
Went down to earth,
With human flesh for sacrifice.

For sinful men such a Deity doth appear,
And wink and nod in reply,
As he winked and nod in reply,
As he winked and nod in reply

The wretched world is run by ox and ass
The wretched world is run by ox and ass,
And in vain build I.

I realise this is a short article, more like a stub, but hey, it’s Christmas Day!

This is #500daysofAI and you are reading article 204. I am writing one new article about or related to artificial intelligence every day for 500 days. My current focus for 100 days 200–300 is national and international strategies for artificial intelligence.
