EDUCATION Scotland has laid the foundations to irreparably damage our rich linguistic heritage by encouraging teachers to create AI-generated children’s books.

We have submitted a petition to the Scottish Parliament asking it to intervene. Doric and Gaelic are both important parts of our heritage and while supported are under great pressure. At the moment, the government appears to be giving with one hand while taking away with the other. If it is improved (thew word enshitification was part of the longer statement) I will post a link to it here.

@Wen

The more languages the better.

@riggbeck For so many reasons, culture, literature and the contribution to childrens (and all or our) minds amongst others.
@Wen I HATE IT
@pewterbaw The article makes clear the theft and plagiarism involved as well.
@Wen Mechanised/automated child abuse.
@Wen Tell this newspaper their cookie wall is botched
@240185 They say it is being fixed and said thanks

@Wen Amazon is full of this garbage already. I posted a thread about it last year

Attached: 3 images Ordering some gifts for Mother's Day and it looks like children's books are the latest victims of AI slop / enshittification. Amazon has pages and pages of these things; the art style makes it so obvious.

@Wen Thanks for sharing. This is terrible news. I will sign and share the petition when available.
@emseeitch I’m just waiting for it to be confirmed and will post it and ask people to forward it if they wish to
@Wen At the same time, German publishers using AI only for covers of children's books got such big protest waves by readers that some of them now created a label for human-made books, free of AI.
@Wen this is awful. Scotland is a fertile ground for stories and writers. There is no need for AI slop here.
