This looks like a fine toy for children who are old enough to <i>type</i> their own prompts and thus well past the basic language acquisition stage where they’re still repeating a lot of what they hear, but I’m absolutely not going to use it to “write” stories for my three year old, and would advise other parents of preschoolers to not use it for anything beyond idea generation - kids that age need to be exposed to their native language as humans speak and write it. 15 minutes of being read the output of a well-prompted LLM is probably better than 15 minutes watching whatever YouTube Kids just threw their way, but it’s 15 minutes not being read a good book.<p>I would be angry if my child’s preschool was using it to generate stories to read to them instead of taking the trouble to find appropriate books.<p>There are already more good children’s books in the world than I’d ever have time to read to my child.<p>What would be <i>amazing</i>: something that took a prompt, then gave you a list of a few extant books that resemble the prompt in some way.
