Pretty cool how generative AI can be bad for the environment, put people out of work, utilize plagiarism, and be totally worthless creatively and uninteresting all at the same time.

A friend is asking for book recommendations for his 11yo daughter. Specifically: “Thoughts on young fantasy with strong female leads? Got any ideas to groom my kid into a powerful gamer with a strong female fantasy background?” He’s one of my longtime D&D buddies, and a fabulous gamer + girl dad.
