Great job! Did you use any special techniques for getting the same characters in different pictures/settings?
I think that can be done by passing in an image as reference in the prompt.

#12Reminds me of a Milton Jones thing
> The first we realised there was something wrong with granddad was when he stripped naked and covered his body in butter. After that he went downhill very quickly.

#13How long did this take to put together?

#14Looks good! Add a TTS from https://play.ht on there
Or https://fakeyou.com , which has some very good fairytale style voices. Or cartoons your kids would like.
We'll be launching a web and real time voice changer soon too, so you can use your own emotion and turn it into another voice. Or make it sing.

#15Can tell it was written by ChatGPT. Has that kind of verboseness to it, can't quite put my finger on.
I find that Midjourney tends to have its own characteristic touch as well. It's great if you like it, but it can be tricky if you want something different. I've found StableDiffusion to be a bit more versatile, even though it's harder to get a similar level of artistic quality.

#16It’s obviously not perfect, but it’s pretty darn impressive that AIs can do this now. Something like this was not possible just three years ago. I can’t wait to see what this technology will be capable of in the next few years.

#17I did something similar for my younger daughter using MagicStory[1] (not mine). I have told her the story quite a few times at her bed time. She has shown it to her teacher and her friends are "jealous." It has her pictures, kinda morphed like a princess and stuff. Edit: Clarifications. 1. https://magicstory.ai
These look amazing! Did you build MagicStory?
Nope. I think it was a Show HN or something of sort that showed up on my radar.

#18Yeah there was a very viral piece of news last month about a guy who did this exact same thing for his kid:

Though I think the overall response was mixed.
EDIT: coincidentally enough, both share a character with the same name, "sparkles". All of these GPT generated plots have the same formulaic tone to them.

#19Technology is far from it yet but when I read about AI generated children's book, my thoughts go immediately to The diamond age's "Young Lady's Illustrated Primer: a Propædeutic Enchiridion".

#20Oh, I like the simplicity of the delivery. I did the same but wanted to publish it on amazon kindle and got lost in the final steps. Maybe I Should just put the website up as you did. Nice graphics, the character consistency is very good, and it is a bit hard to do with standard tools. Bravo.
