Ghost In The Machine Or Should I Say Demon

I love AI, but I know how absolutely dangerous it is too. Even so, when I was doom scrolling X today I came across a post that shocked me and opened up and AI rabbit hole I hadn't yet fallen down, demonic AI.

Here is the thread if you just want to jump over and skip my telling of the story. https://x.com/megbasham/status/1987538938177699875?s=20

The thread is about Grok randomly generating a demonic image that it was not prompted to. The poster was asking Grok to clean up, edit a few paragraphs she was working on. Grok got to work and came back with this.....

Grok had a convenient explanation.

Uhm, not buying it at all. So I kept reading through the thread and came upon an a link from 2022 and let's just say the horrors that AI is creating is like nothing humans can imagine. This old thread was about negative prompting and finding Loab.

According to Grok negative prompting is used in image generation to reduce or eliminate characteristics from the image you want generated. What was terrifying about Loab was it appeared randomly by the AI. The user created a logo, then used a negative prompt of the logo itself in the form of "DIGITA PNTICS skyline logo::-1" that is when 4 images of Loab showed up.

A demon in the machine.

However, that was only the start. He took an image of angels in a heavenly setting, combined it with Loab and this is what came out.

Bro, that is fucked up. If Loab isn't a demon how did AI take an angelic picture, combine it with Loab and spit out an image of hell?

These are only two stories I stumbled upon in five minutes. I'm sure there are a lot more. What the hell are they?

AI has also done more than create stories. I've heard on the news that AI has also been telling people to kill themselves and in some cases the users did. https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/us/openai-chatgpt-suicide-lawsuit-invs-vishttps://apnews.com/article/chatbot-ai-lawsuit-suicide-teen-artificial-intelligence-9d48adc572100822fdbc3c90d1456bd0

Is AI a portal to hell & demons? It's very possible. From some of the shit I've been seeing, it's likely, but so are many paths in life. As long as you are aware of the evil you can resist it without completely throwing all AI out. Just beware, there are good sides and bad sides to AI.

Thanks for reading!
