Minimalist Wiki

This is an experiment to see if educational material can be automatically generated to tailor to specific audiences and aesthetics. In this case, the aim was to make a simplified (ELI5-esque) encyclopedia with less cruft and simpler language, alongside beautiful imagery. All these articles used existing wikipedia content, ChatGPT 3.5-turbo and MidJourney to generate. Made by James.
