Oh, sorry - I'm going to be that person....

Your step 2 is wrong :-) > Step 2: We convert them into a high-quality physical coloring book with OpenAI’s brand-new Sora model, then send it out for printing.

You don't convert it into a physical book /before/ sending it for printing.

Maybe I am thinking a bit meta here. But who is supposed to colorize these pages? Kids that are in the progress of learning to instead use AI for everything? It can surely deliver better results quicker, after all.

Same question would be relevant if you wouldn't have used AI to generate these outlines, of course.

I just want to point out there is a certain irony of the "cut the branch you are sitting on"-kind here.

This is an awesome. I had a similar one: Convert the dense non-fiction books into something more readable. eg. SAPIENS vs UNSTOPPABLE US.

But this makes me wonder: What is the barrier to entry for these apps now? Anyone can do it. There is going to be a barrage of apps/websites like this?

Oh, lol. Nice catch - I'll fix that.

Why would you do that to Sapiens, it's an enjoyable read

Every example is the Studio Ghibli style. Tasteless and no respect for the studio and its legacy.

I don’t understand how you can do this and not feel horrible about it. But I guess not everyone cares as long as it might earn you a few dollars…

I'm from India. I was looking for a service like this but without sending me a physical book part. I'd use this at @ $10 price point if I'm able get downloadable a4 coloring pages from a picture. It would be great. Also this way your customer base becomes international. $10 for 20 pictures is a good price point for me. Pretty expensive but I'd still go for it.

I'll implement this today. Edit: I've implemented this! It's a lot of code changes so I hope I didn't break anything.

I suggest that they use the Disney style. It’s similarly popular and well known but no one will stand up to protect it since it’s a multi billion dollar company that we already know has no respect for artists or artistic legacy.
