Oof, price of fame I guess? I wonder how many Ai created murderers there are

So...the AI rebellion happened because.....cosplay?
I knew nothing good come from city folk and their cosplaying!

See, this is just another example of why it's important to self-host your AI. Not only does it virtually eliminate concerns about privacy, it's also at least 20% less likely to gain sapience and frame you for murder than cloud-hosted, closed source models.

Scammer altman: we need 500 billions more to make this not happen.

Seems like less of a "sentient AI" story and reads more as a metaphor about someone using an AI bot as a scapegoat for her own actions. She wasn't the one being rude, it was the AI! Doesn't matter that she chose to run the bot, or that she was irresponsible enough to keep letting it run unmoderated, even when it posted things she didn't entirely approve of. It's worth it for the clout and popularity it brought, right? But once it got out of hand, the damage had already been done, and the blood is on her hands either way.

That last sentence is just the cherry on top: "AI" still requires human input, both for implementation and for quality control. All that happened exactly because human quality control was lacking.

Ehh, this one's an old story with a small splash of paint. It's not a particularly interesting twist on the "Creation outgrows creator" and "identity theft/mimic" story types. Really now, what was added to from the inclusion of AI? This could've been a painter drawing a self-portrait that disappears from its canvas, and that would be equally interesting, maybe even moreso.

Hell, this could've literally been done with photoshop. The specificity of the horror is entirely lost, which, when the series is supposedly about "Kaidan (怪談) in the Reiwa era", is truly disappointing. It feels like the mangaka is playing Mad Libs.

Tulpa story meets AI or "I created an online personality and now it has taken a life of its own" at r/nosleep and previously >greentext at 4chan with twist ending interpretation that there was no mystical tulpa ghost, but just unreliable insane narrator.

A nice twist that could have been used is that the bot was using the cosplayer's own posts - or maybe it has access to her non-public persona accounts - as a basis for its replies. It's the one unique trait AI (and by extension, the concept of internet accounts) has over the other mediums. The tool she used to make herself appear more attractive amplifying her own nastiness, etc., like stories about vanity, combined with the dehumanizing(?) distance(?) online interaction tends to bring out.

There wasn't enough spooky poltergeist-like scares or mindfuckery build up for it in this story

AI making its own stories, bots interacting with bots, and people "yes and"-ing the most random threads are just common things online now.
