MIT has developed an intelligence called Shelley that is able to write horror stories rather scary.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is working extensively on artificial intelligence, applying the latter to several areas, such as image, to name but one. In September, MIT also announced its collaboration with IBM through a joint research laboratory on artificial intelligence. The goal of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Las laboratory will be to jointly evolve their mutual knowledge of AI in order to grow its key areas. Major issue of MIT, the institute however found an application to AI rather entertaining and perfectly topical: the writing of horror stories. Perfect to celebrate Halloween.
By the name of Shelley, artificial intelligence owes its pseudonym to the author of Mary Shelley, author of the famous Frankenstein. Its purpose is simple: to create stories and stories that are scary. To do so, she intervenes on Twitter every hour to post a new story. Moreover, it can be helped by users of the social network, who can directly interact with it to reinforce the horror of the stories. One of the project's researchers, Pinar Yanardhag says, "[Shelley] first trained on over 140,000 horror stories on the popular Reddit website, and is able to generate random snippets based on what she learned, or continue a story with a text. We expect Shelley to inspire people to write the weirdest and scariest horror stories ever." Shelley made her hand with the NoSleep section of Reddit, on which many horror stories are posted daily. And indeed, the result is ... scary.
Hi @redouanemez
Thanks for filling out our story.
It is indeed intriguing what AI as capable of. Personally I think Shelley is one of the most creative uses of AI so far and proves that this technology possibly can build on and contribute on our collective effort to tell stories and create myths. And storytelling and myths are possibly the one thing that's unique to the human mind? ;)

Yes that's correct !
