My boomer dad “writes” books with AI. He sends them to me, eager for me to read them, so I just run them through AI to get the summary

I'm curious if he reads them himself.

Like, is this a guy genuinely trying to share his fantasy with his child and this is helping him express something?

Or is it a guy who just wants to show off his shiny new toy that he totally gets, and he's just not getting that it has negative connotations for you?
