Here are some recent "Text to Image" experiments performed by WFMU DJ Bryce, using the MidJourney AI platform.
We'll be chatting with Bryce at 640pm on tonight's show.
I have no idea which text prompts Bryce used to generate these first two gorgeous monstrosities:
For these next two, the text prompt was "WFMU"
Bryce generated these next two by typing "WFMU Station Manager" into MidJourney:

Kostabi: I knew him in Whittier in the late '70s. I even have his very first publication, a book of line drawings. Later I visited his atelier in NYC, where I reminded him and his brother (he of Youth Gone Made) of our many interactions in the record store where I worked. Mark gave me a bunch of his later books to donate to the public library where I worked. He also gave me his first CD, a recital of his music on solo piano.

Totally agree, SMK. People watch movies and at some level imagine they're real. Of course they want to believe in AI.

Maybe I am actually a robot, convinced I am human, or at least convincing you that I am human.
Maybe everyone else but Ken is a robot.
Maybe Ken is a robot.
Maybe you are a robot.

An article that hit my MSN news feed over the weekend tells of a computer scientist who taught an AI to write an online essay about the OS it functions on. Without hesitation, he makes what could become the Most Ominous Statement Of The Year: "I just hope I haven't opened up a Pandora's Box."
