For this year’s holiday greeting, we asked the McGovern Institute community what comes to mind when they think of the winter holidays. More than 100 words were submitted for the project. The words were fed into ChatGPT to generate our holiday “prediction.” And a text-to-music generator (Udio) converted the words into a holiday song.

With special thanks to Jarrod Hicks and Jamal Williams from the McDermott lab for the inspiration…and to AI for pushing the boundaries of science and imagination.
