1. From the linked article, an AI generated image with the text Scottish teachers encouraged to create AI children’s books EDUCATION Scotland has laid the foundations to irreparably damage our rich linguistic heritage by encouraging teachers to create AI-generated children’s books. As a Scots language children’s author, I was outraged when I heard about the development from fellow Scottish author Kirstin Innes, who shared a screenshot from the body on Instagram – which initially went unchallenged when it was shared to Facebook in February. I proceeded to immediately reshare the post, stressing my heartbreak that such a thing even exists. The post read: “As it’s #NationalStorytellingWeek we thought it was a good time to tell you about an excellent tool available via Glow. You can now use Google Gemini to craft personalised, illustrated storybooks about any topic with read-aloud narration.”
