A storybook designed to teach kids about how computers work

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Oh cool, a webpage full of low-effort AI generated garbage.
I read your comment before I could open the link, and now that I'd read a little past the chat-format part into chapter two, this spawn definitely smells of AI spunk. My nagging feeling reading it was - Iiiii'm pretty sure this author's never tried to teach before.
First giveaway for me was the sudden change in artstyles for the "projected slides". Also, for the first cat pic, why tf is there a bending-protected cord dangling from a wall switch? Tf?
So many adjectives used too, I bet, to give that futuristic feel, but overused, unnecessary. What the fuck is clear carbon fiber? No really, is that even real? And why do you need to describe people's desks or seats that way, when it would've been more effective to make a picture of the classroom than to detract from the learning material with a mystery virus that took out the professor just to needlessly bring in a sub? Was there going to be some plot twist? Is there a story?
And who tf thought that starting with binary was a great idea to introduce kids to computers/programming? Who tf thinks they'd convince someone who knows nothing about computers that binary is cool or even immediately useful?
I scrolled further and saw Darth Vader fighting Luke Skywalker. End rant, or else AI will give me cancer.
Scam author is trying to scam people with AI generated book.
