The children's book covered in The Washington Post, TIME Magazine, Le Figaro, NBC News, and media worldwide.

This is a story about a young girl named Alice who discovers the magic of artificial intelligence. She creates her own AI, named Sparkle, and together they go on adventures and use their combined knowledge to make the world a better place. The story explores the incredible abilities of AI and the importance of using them for good. It is a tale of friendship and exploration, filled with magic and wonder.

Alice and Sparkle is a children's story at heart that hopes to inspire children, encourage their curiosity and learning, in one of the most technologically exciting moments in our lifetime.

This book was also co-created using AI tools to both aid in writing and illustration and is the first of its kind to do so.

Soon after its release, Alice and Sparkle started an important discussion around how the creators of AI image generation tools have a responsibility to protect artists and their work. The hope is that this leads to a series of empowering tools that are built responsibly, benefiting and enabling a new set of creators while also protecting those that inspired all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars very successful proof of concept!
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2023

I found this a fun, creative book. No, the words and story arc are nothing noteworthy. they were made with chatGPT. and, yes, the illustrations are not consistent but again that is the flaw of the AI tool. I think the author is using his creation to spark really important conversations about AI, especially when it comes to borrowing or incorporating real things that real human artists have made.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor writing and art work

This is what happens when AI is used to write a story with no human writer behind to guide things. This story is quite empty in terms of its story arc and content and the illustrations are poorly made/generated.

As a curious mind I like the book. It served the purpose and showed that less is more. I would have liked the story to be longer..but I guess it was meant to be just a trigger for all to see what we can do in short period of time...and how easy is to put things into consumable form. Nice.

Imagine writing a book. Imagine drawings. Congrats! You put in more effort than the "creator" of this book, who neither wrote nor drew a single piece of "content" in this pitiful excuse for a book. You could pick something up from the dollar store that would be superior in every way, and would at least be tolerable to look at.

Wonderful childrensbook written by a collaboration between the author, and an AI Technology.

It has wonderful imagery and a profound message about responsibility of using new technologies. I think the author has done nothing more than having what would be normally be considered having a ghost writer or artist support him in his development of his ideas for a children's book. I'm sure there is a great deal of concern about this new technology and will it replace writers, publishers but I doubt it.
As always new technological models offer new opportunities to learn to do things differently. People must adapt. Remember when vinyl records became cds and then they became easily downloaded on the internet. There were several artists that were upset and refused to embrace the technology and now we have the iTunes store, podcasts and YouTube.

I would have given it a 5 star rating but I felt it could have been a little more descriptive about the two characters and their adventures. I'm proud the author created this book for his family.

Overall Alice and Sparkle, will be read to my children. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Mr. Reshi's work.

This book was short and sweet. The deeper implications of the joys, but then the dangers of AI were expressed in terms a child could understand. Good job!

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting AI illustration exercise - a not so good story
Reviewed in Spain on April 29, 2023
Verified Purchase
It is an interesting exercise in integrating AI in the production of content. But it lacks in story telling, narrative flow and meaningfulness of the illustrations to contribute to the building of the narrative, mostly, because it feels like the narrative followed the illustrations (which were subject to the output of the machine) instead of the illustrations (and text) serving the story. A baby step with this new phenomenon we will all have to integrate in our lives - AI.

1.0 out of 5 stars A novelty that's not really worth your time
Reviewed in the Netherlands on January 19, 2023
Verified Purchase
I've seen some amazing stuff that was made using A.I. tools such as Midjourney and ChatGPT, with the right approach something of beauty can really emerge. This is not that. There is no arc in the storytelling, and just abruptly ends, accompanied by variations of the same few pictures. If the writer would have put any energy in it, it might have been worth the discussion. But this could just as well have been written by any old chatbot from the last 10 years. Honestly I have not seen ChatGPT (or InstructGPT) perform this poorly before. This just feels like an easy cashgrab.

Reviewed in Brazil on February 21, 2023

Texto fraco, decepcionante como um produto gerado por uma Inteligência Artificial (simplório demais). Claro, é um livro infantil, com bonitas imagens coloridas e textos simplórios... mas nem as imagens dos personagens permanecem coerentes (personagens mudam de aparência) ao longo do livro. É mais um "caça-niquel" pela fama do uso de Inteligência Artificial do que um exemplar de uma alta sofisticação do uso da Inteligência Artificial para gerar um livro (as imagens INDIVIDUALMENTE são interessantes e demonstram uma I.A. mais interessante). Muito "hype" e pouco conteúdo.

Utterly dreadful writing and art. I initially couldn't figure out why it seemed so alienating and dispiriting, and why my four year old daughter was so sickened by it. Then I find out it wasn't written by anyone and it wasn't drawn by anyone, it was actually generated by an "artificial intelligence" over the course of a weekend. Very poor and sloppy stuff, this truly represents a race to the bottom for children's art.
