I’ve been experimenting with generating Christmas carols using machine learning algorithms of various sizes. The smallest AIs, trained from scratch on a set of carols, tended to get confused [https://aiweirdness.com/post/168770625987/christmas-carols-generated-by-a-neural-network] about what exactly the carols are celebrating.

How far has AI come in a year? In 2018 I generated cocktails [https://aiweirdness.com/post/181110592232/dont-let-a-neural-net-mix-drinks] using textgenrnn [https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn] and char-rnn [https://github.com/karpathy/char-rnn], two neural networks that learn to imitate text. I trained them on 1000 cocktails that Beth Skwarecki
