I've heard of a few other people doing this sort of thing. I have some reservations about the practice. Stories passed from parents to children are our birthright. Forget art, this is a fundamental form of communication of values, ideas, and meaning-all of which are absent or only present by accident in GPT's output. What are you teaching your kid about her value by offloading this task to a machine? How will you answer questions about what the stories mean? Will the fact that they don't mean anything discourage her from asking questions about the things she hears?

she's 2 she need a voice to cradle to, not a bedtime philosopher. there will be a time for aesophus and friends, but even then, oftentimes a story can be just silly and fun, it gets old real quick if every story comes with a canned morality statement.
