Your daily book written and illustrated by generative A.I.:
I'm just kidding, these books come out way more often than just daily. Anyway, who thought this was a good street picture for a "book" cover? Is the book, in fact, about a fucked-up street? No, but that's how much the "creator" (i.e. generative A.I. prompt-writer) gives a shit about your experience.
Like all such books from this person and countless others, ChatGPT or equivalent gives you happy-crappy, repetitive text in which the only recognizable storytelling can be attributed to the source fairy tale. No one created anything of value, enhanced the source material in any way, or shows an ounce of talent or morality by pushing this out, failing to admit straight-up that it's written by ChatGPT because they know no one would then ever buy or engage with it, and attempting to promote this and other "books". Don't fall for this shit.
Short story, read since I was waiting for library hold. Never heard of this particular Brother Grimm tale. Basic simple story turned very repetitive and writing style felt almost elementary
I enjoyed this one much more than the first one! It was cute. Though it was extremely repetitive and there were a few plot holes but overall I'm glad I read it! I hope to be as joyous and happy as Timothy!
