A Pig Named Pan

By Nicholas Ponticello

What happens when you let artificial intelligence illustrate your story?

Pan is a pig with many identities: singer, pirate, explorer. Pan can be whatever he wants to be with the right book. This exciting story for early readers was illustrated entirely by an artificial intelligence program called DALL-E. Check out the colorful renderings that accompany a text full of warmth and encouragement. Join Pan on his many adventures and discover just how liberating reading can be!

DALL-E is a program from OpenAI that uses artificial intelligence to generate images and illustrations from short text prompts provided by the user. For this project, the author fed phrases like "oil painting of adorable pig singing on stage with trees and stars" into the DALL-E interface to generate images that fit the story he wanted to tell. Hundreds of renderings were generated for this project, and the author chose the 28 best images to illustrate this story about a pig named Pan who loves to read.
