The text can be viewed on on GitHub or Google Docs, which has a proofread Book I.
This project is intended not as something worth reading, but more of as a statement on what the future of education might look like. The cost of mass-produced text is heading straight to zero, so hopefully it's at least entertaining. All 19,000 rhyming lines cost less than $1 and took a little over an hour to generate.
The final product is far from perfect, but there are definitely some funny bits, including: (in no particular order)
This tale's got drama, it's got suspense
It's got more twists than a TikTok dance
I'm talkin' plot twists that'll leave you reeling
Like finding out your crush is actually a ceiling
Yo, hit up the crib and slay the fattest swine,
While I flex on my pops with this drip so fine.
Will he recognize me after all this time?
Or will his memory be as washed up as Vine?
Aye, Dolius, my dude, I'm back on my grind
And it feels so lit to be home and unwind
Two hounds by his side, he walks with swag,
The way he looks, it makes the people gag.
Until then, our boy's feeling blue,
Just like the meme says, "Feels bad, man," it's true.
Fortnite is mentioned 9 times.
Telemachus is ready to fight,
like he's still alive in Fortnite.
ChatGPT LOVES putting in hashtags if you mention twitter in your context prompt. I tried to explicitly negate them, but some still slipped through.

I considered proofreading The Odysslay and making a hard copy (because I think that would be hilarious), but after getting through Book I, I decided that there are far better things for me to spend my time on. It is definitely a much better starting point than beginning from scratch, but there is still considerable work to be done. Also, I feel like I would lose my mind editing 500 pages of AI generated verses about The Odyssey.
