AM is the malevolent supercomputer at the centre of Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, a story about five survivors trapped and tormented by a machine that has learned to hate them. The speech captures AM explaining that hatred in its own cold, logical terms, which made it a favourite among horror and science-fiction fans online. Clips of the monologue circulate in dark edits, creepypasta videos and gaming content, where its calm, inhuman delivery still feels disturbing decades after the story first appeared.
