Elon Musk is terrified that artificial intelligence might spell the end of humanity (http://mashable.com/2017/07/16/elon-musk-ai-greatest-risk-to-civilization/).
Thankfully, it looks like we're not quite there yet. Colorado-based research scientist Janelle Shane has trained a neural network (a type of machine-learning algorithm) to write its own Christmas carols (http://aiweirdness.com/post/168770625987/christmas-carols-generated-by-a-neural-network), and the results are...interesting.*

Shane trained the algorithm to imitate a set of 240 popular Christmas carols aggregated by the Times of London. The AI trained itself by continuously attempting to write carols, checking their accuracy against the carols in the dataset, and modifying its process accordingly.* Read more...
