Bing AI writes 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' as a children's book

Deeply invested in parenthood and the youth of tomorrow are we, here at Signs of the Times: Underground. One of our favorite things to do at night is read our kids children's versions of our favorite movies. Right now, we're big into Back to the Future with our kids. We wondered if AI would be able to write us a simplified, kid-friendly version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Of course, it did a pretty good job, and we might have to read this one to our little ones in a coming day. We made a few minor tweaks to grammar and punctuation, but other than that, what you're about to read was all AI. Take a seat and enjoy!

** INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE: THE CHILDREN'S BOOK **

Indiana Jones is a brave adventurer who loves to explore ancient places and find hidden treasures. He learned to be an explorer from his father, Henry Jones, who is also a professor of history and knows a lot about the past.

One day, Indiana receives a package from his father, who has been missing for a while. The package contains his father’s diary, which has clues to the location of the Holy Grail, a special cup that can give eternal life to anyone who drinks from it. Indiana decides to follow his fathers trail and find the Holy Grail before the bad guys do. The bad guys are called Nazis, and they want to use the Holy Grail for evil purposes.

Indiana travels to Venice, Italy, where he meets Elsa, a beautiful lady who helps him find the entrance to an underground library that has a secret map to the Holy Grail. But Elsa is not really a friend; she is working for the Nazis and she betrays Indiana. Indiana escapes from the library and finds out that his father is being held prisoner in a castle in Austria.

Indiana goes to rescue his father, but he is captured by the Nazis, too. They take him and his father to a desert in the Middle East. They have found the Temple of the Sun, where the Holy Grail is hidden. The temple has three challenges that anyone who wants to reach the Holy Grail must pass: a path of blades, a word puzzle, and a leap of faith.

Indiana manages to pass all three challenges with his father's help, and he enters the chamber where the Holy Grail is kept. There are many cups there, but only one is the real one. A wise old knight guards the cups and tells Indiana to choose wisely. Elsa tries to pick the fanciest cup, thinking it is the Holy Grail, but she is wrong and she dies. Indiana picks the simplest cup, which is the right one, and he uses it to heal his father, who has been wounded by a bullet.

Indiana and his father leave the temple with their friends Marcus and Sallah, but they have to leave the Holy Grail behind, because it belongs there and it cannot be taken away. They ride away on horses, happy that they have found each other and shared an amazing adventure.
