Graves Pond

You may recognize this photograph from the cover of the issue. To illustrate this issue’s story about artificial intelligence, we decided to put Adobe Photoshop beta’s Generative Fill to a test with simple narrative commands to add a pond in front of Graves Hall — and make the lighting more dramatic, too. The seamless result, rendered in the blink of an eye, illustrates both promise and peril. Hope College is not only navigating the brave new AI world of wondrous creation and morphed reality, but committed to producing graduates equipped to do the same.
