* (Currently) Most AI generated images have an aesthetic to them, so it's easy to spot sometimes. Typically low-res, smeared details, bad hands/body horror. This may improve over time, but I don't know how I'd feel ethically (both morally and in work/effort) leaning so hard on AI.
* For me at least, as soon as I learn something creative is completely (or mostly) AI generated I lose all interest in engaging with the content beyond surface-level consumption. I think fundamentally AI generated creative works are banal and will age horribly over time.
Honestly I think it would be much better to buy a nice paperback kid's book made by a human as a gift for your friend's kid. They'll love it and the kid will have a connection with a human author and artist.
- grugagag 4y ago“Room on a broom” is a popular kids book. I wonder if AI could match up to it

- driscoll42 4y agoReally? This may be AI generated to an extent, but it's also showing that the author and friends worked together and put together a labor of fun and love for a pair of friends. That'll have more meaning to that family than a random kid's book.
- theden 4y agoYeah that's nice sentiment but I don't know, kids don't care about that sort of stuff. I'd rather spend a few hours researching paperback kid's books that could positively impact their growth and plant seeds—made by career artists and writers. It's about the kid, not OP and the parents. This is like giving a kid an AI-generated JRPG game you made in an afternoon vs giving them a Final Fantasy game.
- dwringer 4y agoHonestly when I was a kid I would have been all about the AI-generated JRPG at least 60% over playing the latest Final Fantasy. I couldn't get enough different games at that age, so I'd absolutely enthusiastically dive into both.

- throwaway675309 4y agoYes... but in that case the value is in the labor, except that they didn't really do any labor, as both the story and pictures were generated by AI.
