Guess what, I just published my first children’s adventure book on Amazon. If you know me, you would think I am the last one to write a children’s book – and you are right 🙂

I wanted my proof of concept of Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and used Midjourney and Google’s AI Experiment, some would say chat bot, BARD. AI is supposed to make you more productive and creative and it is true. I don’t even know if I recommend anyone to read it, but I am proud and amazed how far I got. 6 chapters and around 25 pages on the two brothers Billy and Chris living through multiple adventures.

From the initial ideas of the book, over illustrations to writing the chapters, all powered my AI. BUT there was also work from my side, since the chapters needed to be aligned and the characters were not always consistent. I learned that it is a skill to steer an AI and it is not done with a few prompts. With the speed of the development of AI I am sure that our kids need to develop this skill early to make the most of this amazing innovations, that still leaves me „uncomfortably excited“.

PS If you know our two boys you will see some similarities with the main characters Billy and Chris 🙂
