As we know, artificial intelligence has the potential of changing our lives and education dramatically. The question is not if we should use it or not, but how and to what extent. How can we help our faculty, staff, and students understand the pros and cons of AI and what it means to them? 

Food for thought.  How does the use of AI extend beyond creating text to solve problems or provide answers? Where and how do we know what truth is when AI is used. 

The first set of images below was developed through Adobe Firefly. This is a new tool to turn text into art. 

Prompt: "Artificial intelligence in health professions education"

Questions: What does this mean to you? Does this encapsulate the prompt? Is this a work that I should get credit for even if I cite using Adobe Firefly?

The second image below was also developed by using Adobe Firefly. It is a description of my compared to an actual picture of me. 

Prompt: "a balding 46 year old Caucasian male weighing 300 pounds, six foot two inches in height with black hair, trimmed beard, and glasses. He is wearing a blue plaid shirt with khaki shorts. he is of Russian and Romanian descent"

Questions: While it isn't an exact match, it's close. How can we know what is AI and what isn't?
