The result to aim for
Yann Boursier, in Nantes, asked ChatGPT to tell a life of inventor to an 8-year-old child, chapitre by chapitre, and then add discussion questions and an illustration by chapitre. He kept the book to read it to his son.
What was done
LinkedIn (Yann Boursier, November 17, 2023). Distinct from Natas (history Gemini, tablet, other URL). Here the gesture is the book in chapitres, reread, with questions. No child pictures are to be taken.
