There is this pseudo-ai program called "generative adversarial net" that seems to pit two algorithms against one another in some kind of hermeneutic agon, and it can allow for a user to input text and receive an image as output.

here I typed "red" - and this first image is generated

Then I typed "text" several times, the image regenerating after new text is entered.

As you type "text" these strange glyphs appear. The more you do it, the more appears.

Miles Davis I suddenly heard him as a background furniture in a social moment like a funky piece of furniture or conversation piece in the scene of back and forth. A nice piece of design a nice ashtray. Glass topped coffee table
