Thanks to AI, there is a combination of the two where you can create original, realistic images and art from a text description. It can combine concepts, attributes, and styles. 

For example:

Enjoying a barrel ride on my digital surfboard, surfing the net last night, I found an interesting site. Wanna play a game, entirely text-based, 300,000 words, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination?

Ever dream of being a knight who needs to slay a dragon?  Hit [Play Online] (not [Download This Game]) and have an "adventure":

https://www.choiceofgames.com/category/our-games/

Believe it or not, this is an example of something we could do in computer programming right now.

What is an icon?

Among many definitions:

a graphic symbol on a computer display screen that represents an app, an object (such as a file), or a function (such as the command to save)

Icons can represent people as well.

Google an example of an icon and post it on Slack
