Anna's Archive (ebooks)

It has come to my attention that a lot of people on this forum don't know of Anna's Archive. It's a free and open library for e-books, in fact it's the largest one there is. If it exists as an e-book, there's about a 99% chance that they have it, and probably even in multiple languages!

While this is not directly relevant to a movie forum, many people might still be very interested in reading the book a movie is based on, or to read books written by former child stars. In any case, I thought I'd share it here in case there is interest!

Do beware though, some of their files can occasionally be low quality or corrupt.

I made movies with AI with literary narration like a Dance moms movie, Ride live hard free including OT scenes or more extended Otra vuelta de tuerca today anyone can imagine a story created with AI.

Eh, in my opinion AI really doesn't hold up in long-format storytelling yet. It feels really linear, unimaginative, and has no concept of subtext.

It's just the first step, one says 'I want a fantasy story with an enchanted forest and a girl as the central character' and immediately generates an idea or a western where father-daughter run away from the past.

I just downloaded a book I already own to test and it took less than a minute to find and download it. I haven't read anything in awhile but I probably will now.

The original post.

Not a big deal, just don't think AI has anything to do with ebooks.

I think he's saying that we don't need e-books anymore, because we can just use AI to write whatever we want.

Yes it will be very generic

And that’s extremely stupid view/concept. People vastly overestimate „AI“ these days. I’d even argue computer vision (and maybe also audio ) is more advanced and „real“ than these hallucinating LLM‘s.
