This is ghastly.
Children’s books are some of the most wonderful little pieces of art; art that nurtures, entertains, educates and instills both moral compasses and working funny bones. All of our lives have been enriched by them. Some children’s stories continue to enrich us for all of our lives.
This doesn’t just steal work from those artists working today, but it steals from every artist who came before. It adds nothing to humanity; it robs so much.
It also destroys nature to do it. It robs from the world and worsens humanity.
Why do it? Money? Infamy? Internet points?
Please delete the project and do something worthwhile.
- xcanchal 1y agoI built this project originally for my 3YO daughter and I've generated and read so many stories to her while building it. Those moments are priceless and made it worthwile alone.
- frankhorrigan 1y agoNow just imagine how much more meaningful those moments would have been if it had been a story that you actually wrote rather than something cobbled together from the works of previous writers and artists by an algorithm.
- xcanchal 1y agoI'm not a writer. Now imagine how awesome would be if you sent this message combining 0 and 1 or even better using smoke signals? It has nothing to do, but the morality prevents you and many others from seeing through.
- frankhorrigan 1y agoThe reason I am a writer and you are not is not because I can and you can't, it's because I do and you don't. Morality is precisely what's at stake here.
- tastysandwich 1y agoThat is very negative and assumes the worst about OP. He created something and shared it with the world. It's not to your taste and that's fine. But don't knock someone down for having a red hot go at something.
- xcanchal 1y agoThanks for your comment. Curious about what he/she built or how is contributing to improve the world.
- sambeau 1y agoAmongst other things, I'm writing children's books. Each one is a labour of love that takes years to produce. It requires detailed thought from word choices, character design, world-building, characters, to fun plot twists. It's really hard and takes a lot of work. It's taken me over a decade to teach myself how to do it. I've been working on my current book for over two years. My government has decided that my copyright is invalid for AIs. So, as soon as it is published, years of hard work will be slurped into the mediocracy machine for anyone—like you—to abuse. It's theft and you are a fence.
