Sacred? Christmas music is sacred? Popular Christmas music is awful. Every major artist seems obligated to do their Christmas renditions and the songs are vapid or bad remakes of already bad songs.
Seriously. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer praises bullying. That song needs to die a thousand deaths and never show up again.
AI may actually make better Christmas music than the slop we are already subjected to every single year.
I've been going through my LP records and found a 3-LP "Columbia Musical Treasures" from 1975, 36 "great" songs from 36 "great" artists like Debbie Reynolds, Wayne Newton, The Johnny Cash Family, and others, and they're okay. Everyone's numbed to the 50-100 Christmas radio and mall staples, but popstars dropping shitty Christmas renditions every year is part of the tradition.
Christian radio does sacred slop fine just by itself. Gimme some real sacred AI slop, like Gregorian/Tibetan chant, Hawaiian nose humming and Tuvan throat singing
This last Christmas season, my dad and I wanted some classic Christmas music on the TV, so we checked out Youtube for one of those multi-hour videos. We ended up choosing which video to play based on which AI-generated cozy Christmas cabin had the most coherent architecture. One of them had the snow piling up inside the cabin.
We eventually found one that looked okay, but I didn't see any visuals that didn't look generated. Surely there are at least a few vintage public-domain paintings of Christmas trees or similar that they could have bumped up the saturation on and done a slow pan over.
