Hadley, Thanks and I know many such things exist. I simply found it interesting that what was mentioned seemed simpler as just being a converter of text to make a bitmap type image. Now if I want a simulated image of a cat riding a motorcycle while holding an Esperanto Flag, sure, I would not easily do it directly or even in a standard programming language.
Of course I may have misunderstood "text" to mean the actual text, as compared to a somewhat natural language description using text. R does not easily do that. Then again, there are ways to connect your R program to the Wolfram Knowledge base to pass through natural language queries ...

I would recommend you try out one of the many text-to-image AI services like https://www.midjourney.com/ or https://openai.com/dall-e-2. These services are much more sophisticated than you might imagine.
