The PLAI Gallery by Houston H. Harte Center for Teaching and Learning https://padlet.com/hartecenter/PLAIGallery The PLAI Gallery provides a shared space for questioning, reflecting on, or playfully exploring artificially intelligent realities through digital art. The human generated content, with or without AI tools, takes AI as the subject. AI continues to have a significant impact on professional artists. AI learns from human created art without acknowledging those humans. AI then produces content used for commercial purposes, cutting the artist out of the exchange. Thinking critically about AI requires critical engagement with AI, not always as a technology, but also as a subject: the goal of the PLAI Gallery. en-us 2025-09-03 12:51:57 UTC 2026-01-29 14:03:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/svg/1f3a8.svg macdermotthelen https://padlet.com/hartecenter/PLAIGallery/wish/3566929590 I used Sora (OpenAI's video generation model) to create this.

Listen to their song. Don't stop listening. Doomlisten.

I wanted to feature my dog with her favorite toys in the background. I had some trouble at first getting the saturation and painting style right, but after refining my prompts, the AI finally started to match the vision I had. We’re turning it into a puzzle... I’m so excited to see how it comes out!

The image is based on my family in our living room. This is a Christmas present for my Mother. The front cover of the box is a winking snowman, this is a decoration that we have at home.

We had to use AI to make a print then the IQ center helped us cut them into puzzles. I wanted my print to have the Grateful Dead Dancing Bears since I love listening to their music. I then changed my prompts in AI because it was giving me boring, generic outputs. So I decided to put the bears in a red mustang convertible driving away from the sunset. I then edited the sunset to give it more of a psychedelic feel. After many revisions with AI, I finally got a product I was happy with.

I wanted to add the northern lights to the background and give a unique touch to it. Happy with the output!

The design of the puzzle is a family portrait, and a Christmas gift for my Mom (let’s hope she doesn’t see this and get spoiled, haha..)


I then used materials in IQ Center to create the physical puzzle and box. My vision came to life!

Professor Jeff Schatten introduced students to prompt-based generation by showcasing how students can use prompting to generate a song like this. After that demonstration, students created their own songs, and now they are revising them using the prompting skills we practiced in class.
