    Just tried ChatGPT. I said “write a short story in the style of Lovecraft.”


    I got:
    “In the quaint coastal town of Innsmouth, a sense of foreboding hung heavy in the air. The townsfolk, with their bulging eyes and grotesque features, whispered of forbidden secrets that lay buried beneath the murky depths of the sea.

    James Sinclair, an intrepid scholar of the occult, had arrived in Innsmouth with a burning curiosity to uncover the truth behind the town’s whispered tales. Armed with a notebook and a determined spirit, he began his investigation, delving into the town’s dark history.”

    I’d give it, at best, a C-. “He” knew who Lovecraft was, but the style and
    language doesn’t sound at all close.

    Considering that a machine generated that response, I think that's
    amazing.

    And scary.
