Interesting. I thought it sounded familiar. Guiding it with a subject is probably a better way to avoid that kind of thing. Here's what resulted from my prompt above for a children's book about buffer overflows - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSp7wc1xCgivmjFpIc_stL0vkisSCHp5fKXL9zEXaEy_25C2hbe7FX9ZzCjdwBRewIK6VyJrtRpwf4n/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=10000 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSp7wc1xCgiv... Doesn't always work hahaha.

Title of the book: Output: "Autorotating a Helicopter" Description of the cover page with enough detail for an illustrator to draw: The cover will feature a large illustration of a helicopter in the air, with the text "Autorotating a Helicopter" in big, bold letters. Description of the background imagery used for the pages with text on them: The pages will have a white background with black text. First page text in quotes: "If you're ever in a helicopter and the engines fail, don't panic! Just autorotate." Description of the opposite page illustration: The illustration on this page will show a helicopter with its engines on fire, falling towards the ground. Second page text in quotes: "To autorotate, pull back on the cyclic and maintain a level attitude." Description of the opposite page illustration: The illustration on this page will show a helicopter with its engines on fire, but the blades are still spinning. Third page text in quotes: "To land, flare the helicopter just before touchdown." Description of the third page illustration: The illustration on this page will show a helicopter landing safely on the ground, with the blades still spinning. Fourth page text in quotes: "Remember, practice makes perfect! So if you ever find yourself in a helicopter with failed engines, you'll be prepared."
