A year ago I wrote an entire children’s book for my son’s birthday, by using his wild stories about an Australian dragon farm, a nearby zombie-producing pyramid and the protagonist Tara Farke as prompts for ChatGPT and illustrating it with Midjourney.
It was a big hit, getting me a serious amount of daddy brownie points. However, as you might expect, the writing and storytelling needed to be cleaned up a lot. It would have almost been quicker to write the whole thing myself.
I didn’t need to fix the grammar — which was flawless — but ChatGPT could only emulate what a children’s story looked like, it couldn’t understand it. So while it looked great, even a seven-year-old would be a bit puzzled by the narrative twists.
