Midjourney is lighting up the AI generated art community [Up: Now in open beta!]
- Thread starter wafflebrain
- Start date
Right now it's subscriptions. Here's the accounts page:
There's also the aspect of fast vs relaxed. If you're in relaxed mode (only available on the Standard tier) it'll take longer for your image to get created. You can automatically go into that mode, but they can also put you into that mode if you're generating way too many images.
What do the free friend passes offer? Is it just a trial run with way less images than the basic tier?
Yeah you get to generate some amount of images in the discord then if you want to continue past that limit, you need to sign up for a subscription. Once you're paying you can use the discord bot in private messages to generate images, rather than the discord (which moves a mile a minute with everyone generating stuff).
That's still pretty cool! Subscription would be really tempting tho.
Thank you for the info!
I'm with you in that I feel bad about the implications of these services. The business excuse of machines taking over human tasks was always that the tasks being taken over are things that most people don't like doing anyway. Dirty, dangerous, difficult, or boring, repetitive tasks. The population at large bought into this excuse even though it was never really about that. What's the excuse now? I frankly don't know a single person doing art who does not enjoy doing it. In fact, I don't think I know an artist who would rather get paid to do nothing via UBI than to do their art and have it be useful and desirable to other people.
Anyway, I also want to point out that toolkits that allow artists to create games do in fact exist, and have existed for quite some time. Various game-maker kits have been around since 16-bit computers probably. The most recent prominent examples being Dreams and Roblox, which both let you create just about anything with next to no programming.

I got 2 invites for anyone who's interested.

Here's my stuff. I tend to go for the unsettling images.
Vintage photography of Darth Vader in the 1940s.

Thank you! Got one
How do I do that? So I know for the next time. I still have one. I'll send you a link privately.
The free trial gets you 25 non-renewing minutes of GPU time. All actions count towards this. So generating a new image, requesting variations or upscales.
I went down a rabbit hole yesterday just using "macaroni mastersons marouding mischievously, massive mayhem" - yes, I misspelled two words. Still it recognised marauding, if not mastodon (really messed that up).
Anyway - collection below if you're into surreal/twisted AI art based on a cheesy pasta theme.

Oh good work, I'm never sleeping again.
Here's to make up for it. Pasting song lyrics can have surprisingly evocative images to go with them - this one from Xanadu - a not so guilty pleasure song
"We are in Xanadu (A dream of it we offer you) A million lights are dancing and there you are A shooting star An everlasting world and you're here with me"
Those look way better than the stuff from the other one that was mentioned awhile ago. Thats the kind of stuff I would hang on the wall or set as my background if I could find one that I liked enough.
Definitely wouldn't pay any kind of subscription though.

Would love a game with more of these organic-like structures!
Even more AI Ghibli from the favorites channel.
+Capsule Hotel
+Aztec Monument
+Workshop
Dragon + Train
+ Akira Toriyama Spaceship
+Zelda Temple
For invites, I am out, but should get more per month. Someone else I know also just got in through signing up on beta form.
These are way too awesome :)
The only thing that made me pause was there's a strict limit with trial accounts and I just jumped into it like a fool after playing around a lot with dall-e mini and basically treating midjourney the same, and not realizing that things like upscaling count towards the limit.
So I want to learn more about how to get some of these absolutely lovely images people have been posting here to come out more consistently.
Really an amazing tool.

There are some words that randomly give great results, but its all about the descriptors and modifiers. Still experimenting myself, but stuff like "photographed by XYZ" or "in the style of XYZ" goes a long way. My biggest issue is getting different and specific items consistently right. Like an apple and a bottle on a table that dont mix with each other.

Wanted to try this in Dall-e to compare the results (usually midjourney is better at artsy images) so I copy pasted the same exact phrase and I liked this result quite a bit:
Also the seed and stop parameters are very interesting:
Seed allows you to recreate the same base setup and stop allows you to stop before making up too many fantastical details. Check the apple in the lower right:
realistic apple --seed 1234
realistic apple --seed 1234 --stop 70
They also upscale better:

Just got invited to the beta! Is this all contained exclusively within Discord? Didn't realize that beforehand.
For the most part, yes. They have some stuff on the website too, you can see what you created and the prompt. If you subscribe you can see top rated ones, things like that.
