For this Lab, spend some time exploring this list of AI generators. Use the bank of words, phrases and images you created from the last Lab (Random Generators) to use as input. Avoid making your own prompts, and let the serendipity of the universe guide you on your way! Post the outcomes you create on your blog with the name of the AI that you used to generate it for points. The more images and videos that you generate, the more you will have to continue to work with as we work our way through this project. Since the images can be generated so quickly and in so many ways, you should have at least a dozen images on your post. Have FUN!
