Who doesn't love a good ghost story? ;)

People tell ghost stories, so it would be a surprise if AI couldn't. It's a funny example of life reflecting art: old TV and movies used glitching audio and glowing eyes as an artistic 'cheat' to communicate to the audience that it's an insane / evil AI, so now it's a trope that shows up in AI training data. Now AI can spit our artistic conceits back at us, and our pattern recognition brains tell us "aha, I knew it all along!"

Reminds me a bit of a certain XKCD comic,[0] but this might be called 'tropogenesis' instead.

Not sure if AI was used in the creation of this or if that's just part of the storytelling. However I did enjoy this (at least the 26 seconds SoundCloud let me hear) and Static Bloom.[1]
