Not all of us has a subscription to the rag, Oz. Whatsit say?
Yikes! - Sorry, I thought that a freebie article or 3 would be available ...
"This year, the Colorado State Fair’s annual art competition gave out prizes in all the usual categories: painting, quilting, sculpture. But one entrant, Jason M. Allen of Pueblo West, Colo., didn’t make his entry with a brush or a lump of clay. He created it with Midjourney, an artificial intelligence program that turns lines of text into hyper-realistic graphics. Mr. Allen’s work, “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial,” took home the blue ribbon in the fair’s contest for emerging digital artists — making it one of the first A.I.-generated pieces to win such a prize ..."
He used a program called "Midjourney" (there is a Discord) some others are "DALL-E 2" and "Stable Diffusion."
"Midjourney, which uses a complex process known as “diffusion” to turn text into custom images. Users type a series of words in a message to Midjourney; the bot spits back an image seconds later."
I just did some frantic Googling, and free viewing./info can be found at Ai Wins State Fair Art Contest, Annoys Humans -

Hey Oz... That is very interesting and it i s not really surprising. Human Artists should not be alarmed until Computers can think and create on their own

Jokes aside, that would be great for wonder splashes
Exquisite! I don't suppose you've managed to generate any game assets?

Tangentially related, there are a number of websites now that will remove backgrounds from images and spit out a transparent version quickly. I've used this site: https://www.remove.bg/, but there are others. Very useful for irritating pcx files.
Between @Plotinus' and @AnthonyBoscia's replies - There just might be some Wonder Graphics in the, "Village Gfx Idiot's" future, especially as I just discovered that remove.bg let's you do some bg removal for free.
