[R] Off-topic: ChatGPT Code Interpreter

Hadley,

Thanks and I know many such things exist. I simply found it interesting that what was mentioned seemed simpler as just being a converter of text to make a bitmap type image. Now if I want a simulated image of a cat riding a motorcycle while holding an Esperanto Flag, sure, I would not easily do it directly or even in a standard programming language. 

Of course I may have misunderstood "text" to mean the actual text, as compared to a somewhat natural language description using text. R does not easily do that.

Then again, there are ways to connect your R program to the Wolfram Knowledge base to pass through natural language queries ...

I would recommend you try out one of the many text-to-image AI
services like https://www.midjourney.com/ or
https://openai.com/dall-e-2. These services are much more
sophisticated than you might imagine.
