Desperately trying to find a use-case for their inferior AI. I feel like their idea pool was always at absolute 0 but now it’s going even below that.
Let’s have MetaAI raise our kids everyone!
Personally, i think there is a use case. I didnt check out meta ai but its fairly easy to generate good bedtime stories. And yes, parents, after 9hrs work, 3hrs commute, several more hours childcare dont have any imagination left.
Looking at the books out there, even the famous gruffelo writers, most of these books are dull story wise. The translations often lacking. The paintings are nice tho. I like the books most that have a funny singing part.
Stories is something AI excells at.
If you can’t find good children’s books you’re not looking properly. Ask other parents, ask teachers, ask library staff etc. Just like anything most of it is bad, but there’s also real gems and you don’t need hundreds of original stories to entertain a kid, just a few really good ones.
Even if a story is a bit dull, it’s much better written by a human than an AI. Humans have intent. AI just has a big black box trained on scraped data being churned by a datacenter. Even the dullest stories written by a human can at least have some character into them. AI couldn’t even come close to someone’s first draft of their first work.
Also if AI truly does excel at stories, name a few best-selling books that critics love that’s written by AI (bonus points if it’s not someone’s scraped work).
But hey if you like mediocre manufactured soulless slop whipped out by the thousands, you do you.
