I got a 3000 word story. Kind of bland, but good enough for cheating in high school.
See prompt, and my follow-up prompts instructing it to check for continuity errors and fix them:
It took me longer to read and verify the story (10 minutes) than to write the prompts.
I got illustrations too. Not great, but serviceable. Image generation costs more compute to iterate and correct errors.
Disappointingly, that is an exceedingly good story for a high school assignment. The use of an appositive phrase alone would raise alarm bells though.
It's nitpicking for flaws, but why not -- what lens on an old DSLR, older than a car, will let you take a macro shot, a wide shot, and a zoom shot of a bird?
In any case I'm not surprised. It's a short story, and it is indeed _serviceable_, but literature is more than just service to an assignment.
