Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Wombo.Art

This weeks assignment directed us to utilize the Wombo.Art online application to create and share images that were generated by AI. This was an extremely simple process that provided instant results.

The first step of the process was to craft a statement, slogan or string of words that you wanted the AI to work with. This would influence the output and create artwork that was specially tailored to your request.



There is a range of art styles offered and each provides it own unique spin on the phrase, word or slogan that you chose to input. You are also able to upload a photo or image directly from your device to influence the artwork and help the AI create something that is more suitable to your needs and desires. 

Here are a few examples of different phrases accompanied by different art styles:

1. Never Ending Flowers / Style: Radioactive 


2. Sport Dog / Style: Love


3. Rain Pontiac / Style: Wuhtercuhler

Once your artwork is generated, you are given the opportunity to name the piece and decide what the next step is for it - with options being to mint it as it's very own NFT or to buy a print of your creation.



After playing with this application for a while I decided to talk with some friends that took art classes in school and none of them had ever heard of or used this application in the past. They were all extremely impressed with the instantaneous results and how accurately the AI was able to create a relevant, great looking piece of artwork. 

I would highly recommend anyone reading this to check the application out for yourself at Wombo.Art!

Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Logomaker

For this week's hands-on assignment we were tasked with creating a logo for a company or service that was applicable to us as individuals. For this task, we were supplied with the website www.logomaker.com. Below is the opening user interface you are exposed to upon entering the site: As seen above, there is a very simplistic, user friendly interface that requires you to type in some key information regarding your industry, company name, and a slogan/tagline. For this example, I populated the information with the following information: After populating the fields with your desired input, you simply press the orange 'Make a Logo' prompt and the website will take you to another page in which you can decide on a theme/style that you would like your logo to be centred around. Here is an image of the user interface we are presented with: For my example, I have decided to select the 'Initial, 'Icon and 'Badge' logo styles. You have the option to chose up to 3 ther...

Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Surfing the Tsunami

Todd Kelsey's book Surfing the Tsunami has been a great introduction into the world of AI. Prior to this class, I had little to no experience with the world of artificial intelligence and was slightly naive to the way in which the world was moving (at an exceptionally rapid pace). From all of the information I have been hit with, the key point that I have taken away is that we need to embrace AI. It's going to play a huge role in out future and we need to look to adapt rather than to overcome.  I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to ask Todd Kelsey, the author of Surfing the Tsunami himself, some direct questions that I had regarding AI/Quantum and the future. Here is the transcript of our Q&A - I feel like this is valuable information that needs to be shared as there's no one better to consult than the author himself: (Todd Kelsey's responses are following the '>' symbol) As you will see below, I decided to share a story with Todd Kelsey that...

Week 1 - MBA 6101: Surfing the Tsunami

Todd Kelsey's book, Surfing the Tsunami , explores the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs. Ultimately, the purpose of artificial intelligence is to see how far computers can be taken to stimulate or potentially exceed human intelligence  One of AI's main goals is to automate routine work so that people can focus on more analytical tasks.  The publication also discusses how artificial intelligence has evolved software automation from pencil and paper to calculators and spreadsheet systems and how these new technological advancements have been put to use in modern day applications.   Surfing the Tsunami shows how swiftly artificial intelligence has advanced in the business realm. Many human jobs are at risk of being replaced by AI, which has the potential to harm society. Since  machines can  consistently and reliably analyze data faster and more efficiently than humans, this asset-class risks becoming obsolete if their work does not adapt appr...
