Key points
- GhostTube Seer app uses AI to generate images from phone sensor signals.
- Developers interpret generated images as supernatural phenomena.
- The app has over 1 million downloads and requires a paid subscription.
- Some paranormal forums ban AI-generated content due to proliferation.
AI Enters Paranormal Investigation
Amy Waine and Jarrad Cutting, known for their paranormal investigations, have introduced GhostTube Seer, an application they describe as the first AI ghost-hunting tool. This app processes signals from a phone's magnetometer, identifies words and phrases within these signals, and then uses an image generator to create visual representations.
Functionality and Usage
GhostTube Seer functions by scanning environments and generating abstract or figurative images, which Waine and Cutting interpret as evidence of supernatural presence. For example, during an investigation at the Winchester Mystery House, the app generated images of wooden walls, curtains, humans, and animals, which the investigators connected to the location's history. The app allows users to share and comment on generated images within a community feed.
Market Adoption and Business Model
According to its Google Play store listing, GhostTube Seer has accumulated over 1 million downloads since its release in 2023. The application operates on a paid monthly subscription model, indicating a commercial approach to its distribution and use within the paranormal investigation community.
Community Reception and Concerns
While Waine and Cutting integrate AI into their methods, the broader ghost-hunting community has mixed reactions. The rise of AI-generated content, particularly since ChatGPT's release in 2022, has led to a proliferation of artificial ghost stories and images online. This has prompted popular forums, such as the r/Nosleep subreddit, to implement strict policies against AI-generated material to maintain content authenticity.
