Funk Turkey let a bot write a song's worth of lyrics using a bunch of AC/DC lyrics as source material. They then took this word salad and performed it in the band's style. It seems like it hit the nail on the head. The song's called "Great Balls" for god's sake.

If we woke up to this we'd probably be convinced that the house was haunted. So it's a good thing there was cameras running to capture the magic. We understand that a stack of Roombas is a trivial thing, but seriously, what are the odds?
We've never seen anything like this before. The amount of grace in this laser guided robot is superhuman. Sure it's just in a product demo, but Boston Dynamics should watch out if this robot hits the market soon.

A human-like robot face has been hooked up so that its expressions are controlled by the electrical signals produced when yellow slime mould shies away from light, or moves eagerly towards food.
