It's not the cheeriest of thoughts, but have you ever wondered what hell looks like?
Well, an account on X, called Historic Vids with the handle @historyinmemes, is generating a lot of chatter after posting a video with the caption: "Asked Al to show "Hell'".
The resulting video shows hands reaching up to grab a body being pushed downwards. The 18-second clip goes on to show a face screaming, followed by a distorted face, which then keeps getting overlapped with hands.
Take a look here:

Of course, people on X had thoughts about it.
One person said: "Many already experience this "Hell" every morning going to work by public transit."
You can also imagine that some found it a bit terrifying to watch too.
But it's not the first time AI has generated some scary scenarios.
Academic Eliezer Yudkowsky recently predicted that the AI apocalypse might come sooner than you think.
"If you put me to a wall and forced me to put probabilities on things, I have a sense that our current remaining timeline looks more like five years than 50 years. Could be two years, could be 10," he told The Guardian.
California-based Yudkowsky is a researcher based in California with an established history of speaking out against the rise of AI (occasionally controversially).
Scientists from Denmark also researched a new AI system that can predict an individual's time of death with high accuracy.
The system called 'life2vec' was trained on the lives of more than a million people in Denmark.
Someone has also previously asked AI to envision the 'last 25 selfies ever taken' - AKA what people might look like the second before the end of the world.
The results were posted on TikTok by @robotoverloards, an account that asks AI to visualize some seriously unusual requests - such as what murderers dream about, what the sun exploding might look like, or photos from the next pandemic.
While the figures it generated are pretty creepy, they've got nothing on the background in the pictures. This is the end of the world, after all - and it's suitably apocalyptic.
