I conscionable had to effort retired these features for myself, truthful I first asked Gemini to create a communicative astir a catfish struggling to make friends successful a caller aquarium. As I flipped done nan “pages,” I recovered that nan crippled it generated astir nan tank’s inhabitants trying to move a marble was beautiful lame. But different than that, everything seemed beautiful modular for an AI-generated children’s story, until I came crossed 1 illustration that put a human arm connected 1 of nan fish. 

Another Gemini-generated communicative made a page involving spaghetti condiment look for illustration a animation crime scene, while an AI image of a mother and boy watching TV put nan surface connected nan incorrect side. My workfellow Andrew Liszewski moreover spotted an AI-generated oddity successful Google’s ain video astir nan feature, which shows a female building a spaceship and making “tap, tap, tap” noises while holding a wrench and immoderate different instrumentality I can’t make out.

Besides coming crossed immoderate inconsistencies successful characteristic designs, I didn’t spot immoderate different blatant AI weirdness successful immoderate of nan different stories I had Gemini create. However, nan chatbot didn’t look to stock my creator imagination erstwhile I uploaded an image of a animation feline that I drew.

The Gemini Storybook characteristic is disposable globally connected desktop and mobile, including successful each nan languages Gemini presently supports.
