BLOG: The Scariest 4-Word Stories Written by . . . AI

For the past four years, we’ve turned October into a tradition: letting The Confessionals fans try their hand at writing the creepiest, funniest, and downright weirdest four-word horror stories imaginable. From The Scariest 4-Word Stories Written by The Confessionals Podcast Fans, to the 2nd Edition, 3rd Edition, and last year’s 4th Edition, the creativity has been terrifyingly good. But this year, we’re shaking things up. Since AI is supposedly taking over the world anyway, why not see what it can do with Halloween? We let the machines take a crack at writing their own four-word scary stories — and honestly, the results are equal parts spooky and hilarious. So grab your pumpkin spice, lock your doors, and let’s see what happens when AI tries to haunt your October.
