    I mean, I'm jaded about it now. The article - as written - feels like some Creepypasta I'd have seen on 4chan twenty years ago.

    Oooo! A mysterious uncanny-valley ghost-woman image is popping up in the back of all my negative-of-a-negative-of-a-negative search results. Lets try to mystify this into a supernatural phenomenon, rather than realize it for a simple AI heuristic scraping the bottom of the logical barrel.

    Someone at ABC News needed a fresh spin on the topic of AI Art, which was already saturating media markets. So they wrote a ghost story about AI Art (or, more likely, found a ghost story and slapped a journalist veneer over the top). I wouldn't even be surprised if someone used a chatbot to reskin the old Pokemon urban legend about an IRL kid who was killed by a haunted copy of the game.
