It requires a lot of imagination to turn a philosophical quote into picture, especially when it is done by an AI! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started with the entire quote &#8220;To be or not to be: that is the question&#8221;. Craiyon seems to have taken the word &#8220;question&#8221; literally and generated some question marks (see the left panel). I then removed the latter part of the sentence, keeping only the most abstract section of the quote. The returned pictures are far more interesting. Some reflect deep thinking, while others consist of highly abstract shapes that seek to capture the essense of the dilemma. The protagonist is a human-like figure but not necessarily a person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-1024x633.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-1024x633.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-1536x950.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-2048x1267.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/combined-600x371.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I find it encouraging that this tool builds upon human imagination but is also able to extend human imagination.
