The one positive thing I can say is, among the breadth of writers of Arthurian fantasy, at least generative A.I. (ChatGPT and the like) isn't guilty of child sexual abuse.
Or is it?
Anyway, yet again (and again, and again,) this was created entirely by A.I, from the cover to the text to the "about the author" section. It stands out slightly from the other "Tales" or "Fables" churned out constantly from the same source, mostly because it has a chronological format, rather than simply a mix of stories. Maybe the prompt writer forgot to tell ChatGPT that this one was meant as a continuous story, because, for example, each consecutive chapter following Merlin's life from immaculate conception (because he's Jesus?) and birth through adulthood begins with "that boy was named Merlin and he was so and so" which isn't news to anyone any time this occurs.
ChatGPT's inability to tell a good story quickly makes itself known. This book is less happy-sappy than others but there's still that absurd dreamy airyness and unwavering-ness to it all, with fanciful statements devoid of actual content, like
Anyway, the sheer volume of things that are "unwavering" (determination, courage, loyalty, resolve) and the frequency of "wisdom" are sufficient examples of ChatGPT's shitty, repetitive prose generation, even when tapestries and testaments are kept to a minimum.
Can someone please explain these floating swords from the A.I.-generated cover?

From his earliest days, Merlin showed signs of his extraordinary heritage. He spoke his first words before he could walk, and strange, unexplainable events seemed to follow him wherever he went.Like what? How about giving one, just one unexplainable event to back up this statement?
At just five years old, Merlin had spoken of things no child should know—events that had not yet come to pass, secrets hidden deep within the earth.Like what? How about giving one, just one such event or secret. Because I don't believe you, A.I.
