My journey into the world of AI-generated art began two weeks before Thanksgiving. I sat down in front of my computer to experiment with Midjourney, an artificial intelligence program that creates images from text descriptions. I entered the command "/imagine" and a message from the Midjourney bot appeared: "There are endless possibilities …" A young african american man wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers, is flying through the clouds and space as if in a dream. Midjourney generated four versions that the beloved painter and art instructor Bob Ross might have called "happy little accidents." In each, the clouds look like unruly cotton balls. The man has no discernible face.
