How does AI make pictures from words?

You type "a dragon eating ice cream on the moon" and two seconds later — there it is, painted on your screen. How does the computer do that? It has never seen a dragon eating ice cream on the moon. It has never seen anything at all.
The AI starts with pure noise — a rectangle of random static, like a TV with no signal. Every pixel is a different random color. It looks like colorful confetti exploded across the screen. This mess is the blank canvas.
