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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
