I used to come up with a bedtime story for my kids every night. They were interesting enough that my kids could recall previous stories and request I tell it again. I've since started using ChatGPT to come up with bedtime stories. They're boring and formulaic but good for putting the kids to sleep.

It feels dystopian to have AI reading my kids bedtime stories now that I think about it.

It's certainly looks like you have lost some magic in the process. But I could never come up with stories, I read them lots, lots of books.
Just retell stories you know from books you've read or movies or whatever. They haven't read any books they'll never know. I mean until eventually they will know but that's also funny.
That’s uncomfortably similar to the google Olympic ads.
Or those repulsive AT&T ads for the iPhone 16, where someone smugly fakes social interactions and fobs people off with AI summaries. It's not only not genuine, but it's manipulative behavior.
I’m mind blown you were willing to come up with random stories for your own blood and decided reading out ai drivel to them would somehow produce a better experience for any party involved.
