DEMONIC

Fragments

Juha Raipola's existential horror book delves into the terrifying intersection of social media and demonic entities. Written with the assistance of ChatGPT, this novel-in-stories will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Demonic Fragments: Horror from the AI Mind is a short story cycle published in December 2022 by Juha Raipola. The entire contents of the book were generated using ChatGTP, a language model that uses machine learning to generate human-like text for various applications.

ChatGTP is a large language model developed by OpenAI. It is trained on a vast amount of text data and is designed to generate human-like text, with the goal of being able to hold meaningful conversations with humans. In Demonic Fragments, Juha Raipola showcases the potential of the AI tool for writing horror fiction and social satire.

Rather than following a traditional narrative structure, the book is structured more like the experience of browsing the internet or through someone's files, with the story unfolding through a variety of texts and genres, including YouTube videos, branding proposals, ad scripts, guidelines, sensationalist news stories, and standalone horror stories. As the reader navigates through these diverse materials, they may begin to notice common themes and storylines emerging, creating a cohesive and engaging reading experience that blurs the lines between fiction and the real world.
