How could I pass this up? (Sadly, "historical romance" does not here refer to books, but is rather a creative translation of "massive lies about history")

The Guardian story on AI begins with a moving anecdote about how this guy's daughter wanted him to make up a story with her, so he got Chat GPT to do it. What a fond memory that will be for her. Such family bonding.

Thirty years later, I was at my parents’ for dinner with my own children (eight, five and two). For some reason, the idea popped into my mind again. I told my oldest about it – and she wanted to hear the full thing. We turned to ChatGPT, gave it the vague outline and asked it to have a go at writing the story in the style of Dr Seuss (one of our favourites). Within a few seconds, we had it. She read it out – and we laughed.
