Orly's Draw-A-Story is a beautifully-animated & voiced kids CD-ROM title from 1997, made by Greg Johnson & Mark Voorsanger who did ToeJam & Earl.
I made a patch so it works on Windows again. Try it on your kids! Let me know if anything breaks, I'll try to keep it working: github.com/matthewbloch...
![Hello Mr [redacted]! Didn't want to send this as a public comment but I was really sad to see an AI-generated banner for British Science Week!
I think that normalising AI output and displaying it in the school is bad. It will dampen kids' creativity and their enthusiasm for human achievement. What do they think of time spent learning to draw (or write!) when they see their role models use AI? Who cares if the solar system has 7 planets, a car has a sideways wheel, or the microscope is also a lamp? Children notice these things!
British Scienece Week gives away plenty of carefully-designed material that we could use for a banner. They even run an annual poster competition.
Anyhow, thank you for organising it but I just wanted to give you a critical voice before AI leaks into the classroom. I think it dulls everyone's instincts and thought processes, and there's always an alternative, even if it's clip-art or stock photos, which I'd much rather see.
All the best - Matthew](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:udfzwukbtotf5wftdhq2bt4x/bafkreibaiaadkjp5tvllwvork4r3wm5dzcr2ibxtwgkydh3emq5sx2p5w4)
![The most foul of the foul words was clearly spoken by the children at least 131 times and many other times in a muffled or garbled way as well as in rapid uncountable succession in song [Col. 3:8].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:udfzwukbtotf5wftdhq2bt4x/bafkreihe2a6looyfgfhq7mygmop2u2apfx4n66jw2absg4dofi7qqkom2m)
