One of the pieces of ’80s and ’90s publishing history that was also unique — present prior to that period but since declined if not gone extinct — is the movie novelization. Movie novelizations were essentially the film, but put into book format. These were not adaptations nor necessarily stories that played into the worlds created in those films, like the ever-growing canon of Star Wars novels (though some Star Wars films have been novelized).

Research company OpenAI has developed a programme that can turn simple text instructions into high-quality images. Named DALL-E 2, the programme uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create realistic images or artworks from a text description written in natural language. The descriptions can be quite complex, incorporating actions, art styles and multiple subjects. Some of the examples on OpenAI's blog include "an astronaut lounging in a tropical resort in space in a vaporwave style" and "teddy bears working on new AI research underwater with 1990s technology". DALL-E 2 created this image in response to the text "teddy bears mixing sparkling chemicals as mad scientists in a steampunk style" DALL-E 2 builds on OpenAI's previous tool, DALL-E, which launched in January 2021....
