Tweet Artist AI

This repo provides the code to create a bot that listens for mentions on Twitter and illustrates the Tweet to which the mention is a reply to. The bot uses the Tweepy library to interact with the Twitter APIs to get tweet information and post tweet on behalf of the bot. It uses the Open AI library to interact with Open AI Dall-E model to generate images.
