    For those not familiar with it already, the writing and art style are a well-executed pastiche of Arnold Lobel's ”Frog and Toad” books.

    fun story. missing some punctuation, though: primarily commas at the end the first parts of split dialogue.

    Cute, I love this style! It's like a long Aesop's Fable! I can't wait for the sequel!

    I like the part where Frog and Toad are held accountable instead of blaming the machines they built.. oh wait

    the reactions here are why you boys are so gross. all of you when it comes to trashing ai talk about plagiarism and when its something that tickles your fancy and makes you giggle, not a word about blatant theft of someone’s work.

    all of you are hypocrites of the lowest sort, insects making the world a worse place with every breath you take. all of you were raised by parents who should never have procreated.

    you know i am right and that is why reading this makes you furious.

      One is done for profit, the other was shared for free to spread joy. Surely you understand the difference? Are you suggesting fan fiction should be illegal or something?

      I like how AI gives more people more access to more things and more ideas. I think it's.good people can't hoard intellectual.porperty to themselves anymore. This makes me happy.

      When I hear people complain about theft of their work like this it makes me sad for that person. What conceit it must take to hold such a view.
