Very weird errors in the site, is this AI generated? When you click on the 2 year old options, it says "6 Activities for Kids Aged 2" despite there being 19 shown, and the text begins "Nine-year-olds are full of ideas..." The images are good but kinda off... e.g. for https://offline.kids/activity/water-play-tub/ https://offline.kids/activity/water-play-tub/ the kid and tub are floating in a even larger body of water, and for https://offline.kids/activity/fabric-sensory-tunnel/ https://offline.kids/activity/fabric-sensory-tunnel/ there is a magical rigid blanket-tunnel.

The images are certainly GPT Image 1 generated. Also, the text on the about page is almost certainly AI generated.

  Looks exactly like images generated by M365 copilot if I don't ask for something specific.

  I never fully believed the “em-dashes are an AI giveaway” meme — until I saw that front page.

    LLMs don't put spaces around their em-dashes.

    I'm really sad about this, because I'm a word (and punctuation) nerd and use em-dashes in my own writing, because they're correct, dagnabit. Now I'm reconsidering the practice.

      This may cause some psychic damage, but I use en dashes instead for this reason... even though yes, it's only conventionally used for numeric ranges.

      Keep using them. Don't let AI steal beautiful em-dashes away from you.

    I had to take a look for myself and damn... It's almost as if this was done intentionally to be ironic or something.

all of the pictures are AI-generated, probably from GPT-image-1

Good catch. Yeah, definitely AI-generated. The text in the images are in that unmistakeable ChatGPT 4o image generation font that's weirdly kinda fat and oddly kerned. On AI's struggles with hands: do humans have four or five fingers? Why not both!? https://offline.kids/activity/diy-jigsaw-puzzle/ https://offline.kids/activity/diy-jigsaw-puzzle/

  >On AI's struggles with hands: do humans have four or five fingers? Why not both!? https://offline.kids/activity/diy-jigsaw-puzzle/ https://offline.kids/activity/diy-jigsaw-puzzle/ You missed the puzzle itself, where it’s actually three fingers. Kind of impressive degree of inconsistency, honestly.

The "illustration" on the front page absolutely smacks of the ai-generates aesthetic, and especially the illustrations in the "posts". I don't understand what the point of this website is. It's disingenuous, shallow, and artificial. If someone wanted to outsource their relationship with their offspring to a text generator, why wouldn't they just go to ChatGPT directly? I can't imagine there's much overlap between people who want their kids to have less screen-time, but also have no standards for what replaces the screen time.

The images are probably AI, but I don't think the site itself is. It's a WordPress site, and the about page says the author is a web designer and the link in the footer is to a WordPress agency.

It looks like most of the blog posts for the site were also generated by ChatGPT. In the most recent article [0], all of the provided links include "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" In "How to Reduce Kids’ Screen Time – Without the Tantrums" [1], half of the expert quotes were misquoted or could not be confirmed.
