The Anvil Advent Calendar

Each day you’ll receive a short email with an app to fill you with joy :snowflake::snowman_with_snow: .
Yesterday’s post featured this gem from @eli-anvil.

If Python apps weren’t enough - behind one of those doors :door: - you might even get a sneak peak at a yet to be announced feature … :wink:

And, if you celebrate Hanukkah, we’ve also got you covered: Hanukkah at Anvil

It’s Day 2 of our Advent Calendar :christmas_tree:, and I built a Christmas Carol Generator using GPT-2!

You can read about it on our blog or generate your own lyrics using the app. I’d love to hear some of the festive and kooky songs you generate! Feel free to respond here if you have any questions about the app.

Ok, I am going to try and find a tune to put this to.

The seed lyrics were : “My grandmother drowned in a grotto at lourdes, because a hunchback pushed her in.”, and this is what it gave me. I think you will agree, AI deserves to be running the world.

My grandmother drowned in a grotto at lourdes, because a hunchback pushed her in.
and someone should have warned Santa about that.
sinks to a boil kettle bottom.
Johnny Gaddison asks Santa Claus how much of my milk.
with a pair of teeth that can freeze you for hours.
in a sack filled with moldy redneasy
with a clanging noise.
Gadda put his foot up on your nose.
Mr. Grinch, who plays poker with Uncle Ben?
My uncle Ben plays poker with Uncle Nickmy Bumpetty.
Mr
keeps changing with the kids.
My uncle Ben plays poker with Snoopy Chip;
His uncle Ben plays poker with Chipmunks;
His Uncle Ben plays poker with Chipmunks!
Mr. Grinch sets his grand piano with Baron Frost.
Johnny Gadda calls Uncle Ben to Santa’s tight little belly.
Mr
keeps changing with the kids.
Santa Bubbles Himself.
I Must Be Summer Burns.
Johnny Gadda Comes To Town On Christmas Day.
Your Mama Must Be My Little Christmas Guest.
Mama Must Be My Little Christmas Guest.
My Uncle Ben Dialys Must Be My Little Christmas Guest.
with just two words.
funny as fangs, frog-prints on grandma’s boots.
with an array of spiky sounds.

These are by far the best lyrics I’ve seen. Absolutely amazing. I think Uncle Ben may need some help with his poker habit…

I love the final ‘Very’. Beautifully absurd.

Oh, it’s so tempting to feed it with the opening lines from Kevin ‘Bloody’ Wilson’s Ho Ho… song

But I really couldn’t post the seed line here, let alone whatever the AI might come up with!

And, no, I’m not posting a YouTube clip. You’ll have to go look yourselves. Just be warned it’s really NSFW.

Hi
I just discovered this when creating a carol generator and was sad to see the same error. Can it be made operational again?

#11

Actually I got:
NoServerFunctionError: No server function matching “main” has been registered

Hi @bogerdsan,

Loved the physics engine calendar app today, @ian! Thanks for sharing interesting js components, would like to see more of that. Not so much thanks for wasting my time as I couldn’t stop staring :wink:
