Halloweens scariest costumes? AI chatbots, data centers, and Metas Muse
ChatGPT limits, data centers, and Steve Jobs inspired tech Halloween costumes in 2026. Here are some of the internet’s most specific looks.
Halloween costumes this year took inspiration from technology, with many people opting for AI chatbots, data centers, and Meta's Muse as their costume choices. A popular trend featured oversized AI logos with error messages and a T-shirt referencing a cybersecurity incident. Some costumes paid tribute to specific chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude, incorporating water breaks and usage limit warnings into their design.
Others even dressed as the scariest thing: a data center, highlighting the current anxiety surrounding the AI boom. The most unique costume was Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, paired with their personal AI agent, Muse. The duo seemed fitting for a tech party, but would likely require some explanation at other gatherings.
Some costumes required additional context, such as a black T-shirt with a giant "4" and references to a compromised private key incident by eMudhra, or dressing as the visualization of OpenAI's proposed Navier–Stokes solution.
