'What could I do? I was a monster': Meet Shelley, the AI horror writer that collaborates with humans to create hair-raising tales - DailyMail.com

Five days to Halloween.

Today, Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard crying and moaning coming from ahead of the Panzermobile. Following all the noise took our brave kitty boy to the DailyMail.com site. There he found a post about an AI (Artificial Intelligence) horror writer named Shelley.

Don't worry. She's no Stephen King.

According to Cheyenne MacDonald's post, Shelley, the AI horror writer, is a product of the MIT Media Lab. Shelley was given a steady reading diet of horror stories. In this way she learned to write horror stories. Shelley now has her own Twitter account where she tweets a horror story each hour. Anyone with a Twitter account can follow her and collaborate on horror stories with her.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... The post includes what the MIT workers consider a mistake by Shelley in one of her stories.  But this little kitty knows humor when he reads it. Humans ... She did it on purpose to test you."

Note: This is a h-u-g-e post. Bring a thermos of tea and a dozen muffins for today's reading selection. Also, the DailyMail.com site has some ads you'll want to close as you read the post.
