Meet Shelley. She's an AI robot who creates bone-chilling horror stories.

She's a robot who uses artificial intelligence to write and share hair-raising horror stories. Named after famed "Frankenstein" writer Mary Shelley, the bot is the brainchild of MIT postdoctoral candidate Pinar Yanardag and research scientist Manuel Cebrian. They claim that Shelley is the world's first collaborative AI horror writer. On Oct. 27, Shelley came to life. But, before she did, co-creators Pinar Yanardag and Manuel Cebrian spent a lot of time figuring out where to obtain enough data to power Shelley.
