Seeing that at the time of writing this article horror stories are in short supply because halloween is still a long way, I've asked chatgpt to tell me a short horror story with ASCII art as pictures. Here's how it went.</p> <p><strong><em>ME: Can you tell me a short horror story with matching ascii art as pictures in it?</em></strong></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjlxw3z8eco0e7o4ezxmi.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjlxw3z8eco0e7o4ezxmi.png" alt="ChatGPT Story Panel" width="726" height="164"></a></p> <blockquote> <p>The ascii image was cut-off here.

I think the art was not scary enough so I requested the AI to make it more scarier. Here's what I got in return:</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F2r7kcn58rp1oxe8oku8j.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F2r7kcn58rp1oxe8oku8j.png" alt="ChatGPT Art" width="658" height="311"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdct29di0kaq5l5e6ffhn.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdct29di0kaq5l5e6ffhn.png" alt="ChatGPT Art" width="533" height="463"></a></p> <p>Overall I think it was really impressive. While currently I would not say that ChatGPT would replace any horror writers anytime soon, it definitely has way better horror story writing skills than me (or any type of writing for that manner).</p> chatgpt ai storytime horrorstories
