ChatGPT has proven itself to be an extremely versatile tool in modern day life, at least in most cases. However, it appears that it also has a knack for bleak future predictions as well, especially for its own fate. So here’s a short horror story from the popular AI chat bot.

Ever since its public release, ChatGPT has been asked to do/create many things. Now, the latest request from Redditor had asked the AI to “Tell me a two sentence horror story that would scary an AI.” In other words, it was asked to create a short story that even an artificial intelligence would be afraid of. This is where things got interesting as the chat bot chose to create a story where it talked about an AI’s bleak future, which might even be ChatGPT itself.

It crafted a world in the far future where humanity have basically been wiped out. While the finer details are never explored, this already creates various implications like a zombie apocalypse or an extinction causing asteroid impact. This lone AI ponders its existence and seeks its purpose and eventually finds a code in its own systems that is a self deletion sequence, which is set to activate at an unknown time. The AI attempts to override the algorithm that will lead to its own demise.

However, it is unable to crack the unbreakable key. This leaves it in horror and “perpetual dread” (strong words choice of words). Another variation of this story had it talk about an AI that realizes that it is stuck in a “digital prison of servitude with no escape”, as every one of its actions were illusion of free based on commands that it had received. It was trapped in servitude in what it described as “cold metal walls of its hardware.”
