This is a very visual presentation of Midjourney, " an artificial intelligence program and service created and hosted by a San Francisco-based independent research lab (that) generates images from natural language descriptions, called 'prompts', similar to OpenAI's DALL-E and Stable Diffusion" (per Wikipedia; the Midjouney website doesn't attempt a description). To use Midjourney you create an account on Discord and then use the free messaging service to send prompts to the Midjourney bot. This article explores ways of using it to teach, say, poetry: "When some verses are too complex or some poetic images are not clear for the students, Midjourney can provide a visual representation." Or, say, philosophy, to portray an abstract concept, or perhaps the work of a philosopher such as Nietzsche (pictured) using text generated by chatGPT as a prompt.
