This might be why an A.I. seems better equipped to write horror than dabble in any other kind of fiction genre. Horror is a form of writing that requires chilling scenes of anxious tone, blood-curdling language, characters that remain nebulous and mysterious, and fast action. An A.I. doesn’t need to deliver a ton of exposition or flesh out a backstory in order to create a good horror story. It doesn’t have to be a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. It just needs to induce immediate shock and fear. And it turns out this is just another way that A.I. excels in inducing fear in the hearts of us mere mortals.
