By Spark News Desk · · United Kingdom
Ghost hunting has evolved with the use of AI chatbots, with enthusiasts like Amy Waine and Jarrad Cutting developing tools such as GhostTube Seer, described as the world’s first AI ghost-hunting app. The app uses phone sensors and assigns signals to words in a database to detect supernatural activity.
The app, which requires a monthly subscription, has over 1 million downloads, according to its Google Play listing. However, some in the paranormal community are concerned about how AI models are trained and what data they use to interpret phenomena as 'ghostly'.
Critics argue that AI tools like GhostTube Seer may not provide reliable evidence of the supernatural. The debate highlights the growing reliance on technology in a field that traditionally depends on subjective interpretation.
Why it matters
The use of AI in ghost hunting raises questions about the credibility of evidence and the role of technology in subjective investigations. It affects paranormal researchers and enthusiasts who rely on such tools for their work.
