Four stories of Loki: Apples, death, wall, and hair
[[but.. why generate AI like this? Because it’s an interesting test of AI. Also, the stories are interesting, and I’m unfamiliar with them. I’d like to try to have voice generators for the various Norse mythologies at some point, partly because it’s fun history.]] Idunn’s Apples In the shimmering realm of Asgard, the Norse gods…
