Alexa she is always ready not only to give you advice for recipes, turn on the lights to create the right atmosphere or put on the right music playlist, but also to entertain you… in the company of Gerry Scotti (Do you know how to customize Alexa responses?).
The popular TV hostwho also boasts the title of “Italy’s uncle”, must in fact be in love of artificial intelligenceso much so that after launching a disk created with the help of technology, collaborated with the voice assistant of Amazon for a fun Christmas quiz (here are the best apps for creating images with AI).
To take part in the quiz and hear Gerry Scotti alongside Alexa, all you have to do is say “Alexa, who wants to be Santa Claus?“. At this point you will be asked a series of questions such as “What is Santa Claus’s real name?“, or “How many reindeer are pulling Santa Claus’ sleigh?“.
But we were also talking about a record.
Titled Jerry Christmasthe album contains Christmas songs that Gerry Scotti recorded with the help of AI.
In practice, the technicians trained an AI model with the voice of the host taken from the television recordingsthen Gerry Scotti himself read a series of contents in English (“pages and pages“, as stated in an interview). Finally, they were added “sigh, yeah” and typical expressions of the host who thus personalized the “recording” even more.
The result is 11 songs historians, revised in a slightly different key:
- Intro Gerry Christmas
- All I Want For Christmas Is You
- Jingle Bells
- Last Christmas
- Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
- Jingle Bell Rock
- Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
- Feliz Navidad
- Do They Know It’s Christmas?
- Blue Christmas
- Driving Home For Christmas
Oh, and the cover too of the album it was even created with AI! And then, you are ready to put yourself to the test with Alexa together with the uncle from Italy?
