Who doesn't love a good ghost story? ;)

People tell ghost stories, so it would be a surprise if AI couldn't. It's a funny example of life reflecting art: old TV and movies used glitching audio and glowing eyes as an artistic 'cheat' to communicate to the audience that it's an insane / evil AI, so now it's a trope that shows up in AI training data. Now AI can spit our artistic conceits back at us, and our pattern recognition brains tell us "aha, I knew it all along!"

Reminds me a bit of a certain XKCD comic,[0] but this might be called 'tropogenesis' instead.

Not sure if AI was used in the creation of this or if that's just part of the storytelling. However I did enjoy this (at least the 26 seconds SoundCloud let me hear) and Static Bloom.[1]

omg thanks for your feedback <3

as announced i dug deeper into that and it continued to be creepy. maybe i was wrong about the "alan" part as it was hidden in a cover image and a little strange.. there was a silhouette of a man holding a sign with "alaahhn" on it, so i assumed "alan" ... but later there came up images of flying things in the woods resembling an alien spaceship, so it could have also meant "alien" ...

i find it very entertaining to explore those glitches in ai generated content as i never used the terms alien, demon or something similar in my prompts so this just bubbled up somehow.

i find it hard to tell if that created content is now "creative" as it is something completely new in context of my prompting. or if its just code doing its thing... thats a question for philosophers

both audio and video are ai generated contents not edit by myself. i publish then on my youtube channel. i only merge the created assets into one video but i do not change the audio.
