Promptograph 

Promptograph is a term for an AI assisted image that is generated using text prompts.

It is a word coined by a Peruvian photographer and popularized by a German artist Boris Eldagsen who rejected a photography award for an image he created using AI.

A promptograph can look like a photograph, a drawing, a painting or anything else depending on the text prompt. It is different from photography which is the art or process of producing images by the action of light on a sensitive surface.

Show me the promptograph created using the text prompt: “a blue sky with white clouds and a rainbow”.
