Illustrations in The Open Executive

Just for fun, we used DALL-E, an AI image generator, to create many of the illustrations in The Open Executive. It was prompted to use different graphic styles. Did you try to guess the styles? Many of them it’s impossible. ChatGPT has such a bizarre interpretation of the prompt that it is really just a random seed.

Like all art graphics, you will like some and not others: they are designed to get a response. We hope you find it an interesting exploration of what AI can currently (2024) be made to do.
