Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg divided the internet by using AI to bring his six-year-old daughter August's illustrations to life.

Zuckerberg posted a video of his presentation at the annual Connect conference explaining how he and his second daughter used Meta AI to illustrate and create a trailer for her book, The Mermaid Crystal.

"And yes, a sequel is already in the works. Proud dad!" wrote Zuckerberg in an Instagram post, which you can see here.



The accompanying trailer showed digitally rendered images of a mermaid named Bella who is scared of humanity.

A voice narrates how Bella's life changes with an unexpected encounter with two children from a different world. The trailer concludes with the narrator inviting us to join them for "A tale of friendship, adventure, and the magic that connects us all."

Despite its cute premise, social media users weren't impressed by the Zuck's promotion of AI over human illustrators.
