Have you ever looked at a painting and been completely blown away by the colours, the composition, or the subject matter? If so, then you know just how powerful art can be. But what if that painting was created by a computer? Believe it or not, this is becoming a reality thanks to a company called MidJourney. MidJourney is a start-up that uses artificial intelligence to create pieces of art. The results are stunning, and people are beginning to take notice.

What is MidJourney?

Founded in the middle of 2022, MidJourney is a company that uses artificial intelligence to create art in the goal to use AI to change the way people interact with art.

MidJourney offers a number of different products, including an AI-powered art app and a service that turns photos or commands into paintings. The company has also created a number of digital artworks, which have been sold to customers around the world.

The software distinguishes itself from other AIs of the same genre by focusing on artistic beauty. Its competitor DALL-E offers more realistic images, where Midjourney excels in creating environments. The software also allows you to create pastiches that imitate different stylistic trends or specific artists.

The company did not reveal what technologies it uses, but confirmed in an interview that it uses highly advanced artificial intelligence models with billions of parameters and trained on billions of images. David Holz, creator of the software, estimated that no product or service had allowed an ordinary person to use so much computing power.

How does MidJourney work?

MidJourney’s AI technology creates art by analysing creative art and understanding the relationships between objects, colours, and composition. The AI then creates its own unique piece of art based on what it has learned. MidJourney uses discord chatbots to develop their neural networks. The results are amazing, and it’s not just us saying that, as you can see below.

What is the reaction to MidJourney’s AI art?

The reaction to MidJourney’s AI art has been overwhelmingly positive. People are blown away by the colours, composition, and subject matter of the paintings. Many people are calling it a game changer for the art world.

In the other hand, some people are sceptical about the idea of a computer creating art. However, the majority of people seem to be very excited about MidJourney and the potential of AI in the art world.

How is MidJourney making a splash in the art world?

MidJourney is making a splash in the art world by creating stunning pieces of art using AI. The company has already caught the attention of some of the biggest names in the art world, and it’s only going to continue to grow in popularity.

How to get started with MidJourney and how to use it

MidJourney is available to anyone. To use the software, all you have to do is register and join the Discord server. The beta version runs entirely on Discord, allowing users to write their commands (prompt) from a public channel on the server. It is on this same channel that the robot will send users their images after about a minute. For each command, the user receives a set of four images. They can, at their discretion, request a variation or an improvement of one or more images of the set.

The software is initially free to use, but the user experience is limited to about 25 requests before being invited to purchase a monthly subscription of $10 or $30. The cheaper one allows 200 images per month while the latter offers unlimited access. By default, all images generated by the software are public. They are accessible from the discord and on a dedicated page of the website. Otherwise, it is necessary to pay, whatever the subscription, an additional 20 dollars to keep your pictures private.

Overall, MidJourney is a great tool for anyone interested in creating AI art. The results are stunning, and it’s very easy to use. If you’re looking for a new artist to follow, be sure to check out MidJourney. You won’t be disappointed.
