Bad idea. You'll get replies like this. TrotskyistTidings Jul 2023 #9

Interesting. Maybe I'll plug in "Halloween" & "Candy Corn" & "Witches" and "talking jack-o-lanterns" Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #10

Anyone using ChatGPT to "write stories"'- so it will mindlessly churn out patchwork highplainsdem Jul 2023 #13

Good grief. This is just simple fun stories for kids. honest.abe Jul 2023 #14

LOL! The hostile and aggressive responses here... too funny! Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #15

People have been making up their own simple fun stories for kids for at least highplainsdem Jul 2023 #17

Well I can tell you it's very difficult to find the book I am interested in. honest.abe Jul 2023 #19

It's good for kids to be a bit challenged by what they're reading. And highplainsdem Jul 2023 #21

It's not about being challenged. honest.abe Jul 2023 #24

I've read a lot of stories to my siblings' and friends' kids, bought a lot of highplainsdem Jul 2023 #28

I am offering you good advice. I'm sorry you can't recognize it. highplainsdem Jul 2023 #67

Good advice? LOL! No. Wrong. That's not what you're doing. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #70

I just said you were helping their motor skills with the fingerpainting. highplainsdem Jul 2023 #73

I know what you said, and I know what you meant. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #74

Especially for children in families that are not the norm, Ms. Toad Jul 2023 #52

There are diverse stories and books out there, though. And people can write highplainsdem Jul 2023 #54

So white cis-het families with 2.5 children have tons of options open to them Ms. Toad Jul 2023 #58

You're the best. Thanks for sharing that! Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #68

There are better ways to get stories about diversity than generative AI that is highplainsdem Jul 2023 #69

No. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #71

There really aren't - without expending energy and money Ms. Toad Jul 2023 #76

AI generated text is not plagiarism. It's just not. MineralMan Jul 2023 #45

There are disagreements on that: highplainsdem Jul 2023 #49

I disagree. As someone who made my living as a writer, MineralMan Jul 2023 #55

Have you seen the story about Sarah Silveman suing some AI company for plagiarism? LAS14 Jul 2023 #56

Nope. Haven't seen that. MineralMan Jul 2023 #57

There are a number of lawsuits against generative AI companies because highplainsdem Jul 2023 #59
