I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

Robert Evans wrote a post on it and did multiple podcast episodes.

The TL&DR is that AI-generated children’s books are crap, without a coherent storyline or any literary niceties like “foreshadowing” and “beginning middle and end”. Kids are still learning what stories look like, so if you hand them AI-generated stuff they might know it’s unsatisfying, but they can’t put into words why their books are wrong.

I want it closed, but the dog wants it open and his litter box is in the hallway. So, open it is.

I toured a home that had been vacant for years. The basement was a mess. Someone had been majorly into canning. Shelves had collapsed, shattering jars.

Other than that, it was a lot like touring a house while house hunting. Dirtier and more missing steps, but that’s it. Broken jars
