Artificial Intelligence Generates Christmas Song from Holiday Image

This is definitely now my favorite Christmas song. While obviously not a masterpiece, it's incredible how far this tech has come. It's almost got a Dadaist feel to it. Can't wait to see where this ends up in ten years! I can foresee music labels buying a few of these AI's, getting some pretty people with decent voices and sending them on tour.

Is it just me or it really sounds like a randomly generated chord progression that barely makes any musical sense?

I'm not sure that Christmas songs generally use the blues scale, I wonder what made them choose that for the melody?

Show me the same algorithm generate songs in a different genre from different images and I'll be impressed.

Is pop music not cheap and disposable enough for you already?
