Some parents who grew up playing video games are introducing the popular pastime to their children. Should more parents embrace the joys of gaming with their kids?
Art generated by Artificial Intelligence
Are you ready to take advantage of Artificial Intelligence?
Or do you think we should establish a limit?
Recently, “a man won first prize in a fine art contest at the Colorado State Fair using an AI-generated piece of art,” reports the site Vice.
The design was generated under the instructions of Jason Allen and the work in question called Théâtre D’opéra Spatial won in the digital art category.
What is the controversy? Allen used an artificial intelligence software called Midjourney to prepare the piece, which followed his instructions.
With the awarding of the prize, all kinds of opinions began to be raised about where art and intellectual property are left with the presence of AI. In fact, it didn’t take long for the controversy to break out on Twitter, with many artists accusing Jason Allen of “accelerating the death of creative work”.
For his part, the winner acknowledged that he knew it would be controversial, but that they were debunking the human element in their AI-generated art. The author explained that his contribution in the form of indications to the software was essential to model the keys of the winning painting.
“I had to generate images with Midjourney, make passes with Photoshop and enhance with Gigapixel,” he noted.
Among the best-known Artificial Intelligence design tools, you can find (we included the same introduction they share on their websites).
Midjourney: (the one used for the project) is an AI tool capable of creating anything you write, until very recently its beta phase was private, but now it is public, so anyone can generate their own works of art.
DALL-E: create original, realistic images and art from a text description. It can combine concepts, attributes, and styles.
Wombo Dream: use the power of AI to transform your idea and art style into a beautiful painting right before your eyes in seconds. WD is expanding art to the masses. You don’t need a paint brush, pencil, or any art supplies to make beautiful artwork, all you need is an idea.
NightCafe: Creator is an AI Art Generator app with multiple methods of AI art generation. Using neural style transfer you can turn your photo into a masterpiece. Using text-to-image AI, you can create artwork from nothing but a text prompt. The App is available for free online, and on Android and iOS phones – simply save it to your home screen to install the app.
Craiyon, formerly DALL-E mini, an AI model that can draw images from any text prompt.
Deep Dream Generator Is a set of tools that make it possible to explore different AI algorithms. We focus on creative tools for visual content generation like those for merging image styles and content or such as Deep Dream which explores the insight of a deep neural network.
Are you ready to try, what will you create? We’ll love to share our student’s works.
How do you think this can be useful to you personally, professionally, and academically? We would love to hear from you!
We play with the tools, and create with A.I. below using this text: “Open Learning and Sustainable Development at AIU”.

An interview with future iMSM graduate, Manmit Kaur
Manmit excelled at her career as a project manager. She was organizing conferences all around the world for global leaders in both the private and public sectors. But while her career was exciting, it was also very stressful. And, ultimately, Manmit felt that management consulting was her true calling.
Earning a master’s in management had been a personal goal for Manmit because of her interest in consulting, but she kept putting it off. That changed at the start of the pandemic when Manmit saw an opportunity to continue her education while spending more time at home. By the spring of 2021, she had started her online Master’s in Management (iMSM) from Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
Manmit chose the iMSM for its in-depth subjects, as well as its flexibility and affordability, and she’s learned empathy and leadership skills that she’s sure she’ll use for the rest of her career. Manmit has found the program both challenging and fun—with highly engaging and supportive experiences in live classes, group work, and forums. And, with the global access that Coursera offers, Manmit has been able to enjoy her fellow learners’ diverse thinking and backgrounds.
Gies College of Business students like Manmit can also be part of Illinois Business Consulting (IBC). This management consultancy is the largest in the US to be operated by students, and Manmit will have the opportunity to work on real projects for real clients around the world so that she graduates with incredibly valuable experience.
Manmit says she has had to find a new flow to life in order to earn her MSM. But with support from her family, she has taken the time to continue her education. Now, with graduation on the horizon, she’s about to take on her true calling of consulting. To others who want to go from liking their career to loving their career, Manmit says, “Take the plunge. You owe it to yourself.”
