Bedtime stories with Alexa

Creating technology for families Kids have long loved listening to stories, and with “Create with Alexa” they can also actively co-create stories of their own." What a great feature! I wonder if it could do what our son loved best. I would make up a line for a story then he would make one up. When he was just learning to talk the lines he made up really didn't follow the story line so I had to incorporate some pretty wild ideas into our "story". I would have loved to see how Alexa would have dealt with this. "Children can say the simple phrase, “Alexa, make a story,” follow a few prompts, and Alexa takes over—generating a unique and original narrative based on the child’s preferences. For each scene, the AI also composes an illustration, background music, and sound effects. The child’s choices of character, setting, and other variables dictate the direction the story goes—and no two stories are the same. For example, once a child has told Alexa they’re ready to create, they select a theme, which could be “space exploration,” “underwater,” or “enchanted forest.” They then choose and name a character—say, an astronaut named Speedy or an alien named Fuzzy—choose a color theme, and pick adjectives like “silly” or “happy” or “mysterious.” With those few inputs, Alexa works behind the scenes to create a five- to 10-line story, told across five unique scenes that are complete with sound and visual effects. Even if the child chooses the same prompts in the future, the story will be different each time. They can then save the story in their personal media gallery to experience it again, and coming soon, share it with their loved ones.
