All About Midjourney


Midjourney is an AI-powered text-to-image generator that can quickly create stunning, professional-quality images from simple text prompts.

πŸ‘‰ Why it's in my top 10:
βœ… I think it's the best tool out there for creating high-quality, realistic images
βœ… There are endless options for artistic styles, such as realistic, surreal, abstract, animated, watercolor and more
βœ… It's super affordable at just $10 a month for unlimited creativity and customized visuals

πŸ‘‰ Pro tips:
πŸ’‘ Keep in mind: You can't copyright AI-generated images (as a general rule, though there are nuances). Be cautious if you decide to use Midjourney to create a logo or other brand assets.
πŸ’‘ There are tons of incredible Midjourney creators on X (Twitter) who freely share prompts to try. I love following @LudovicCreator and @TechHalla for style inspiration.

πŸ‘‰ Real-world impact:
🧠 Create mockups and royalty-free images in minutes.
🧠If you've never considered yourself a "creative" person (like me!), NOW is your time to tap into that hidden artistic potential!

⚠ Heads up:
β–Ά Midjourney's training data likely included artists' work without their permission, raising questions about intellectual property rights that are still being answered. Stay out of the gray by avoiding asking for art in the style of a specific artist.
β–ΆThere's an ongoing conversation about how AI art tools might affect the livelihoods of traditional artists.
β–ΆThe ability to create realistic images easily can be misused to spread false information. There are (supposedly) guardrails in place, so you can't make a picture of a presidential candidate, etc., but people are still managing to work around them.
β–ΆLike all AI systems, Midjourney may reflect biases present in its training data.

πŸ‘‰ Your turn:
1. Sign up for Midjourney (link in comments)
2. Access it through a Discord server (yes, you'll need to sign up for two things!)Midjourney will have its own website soon (I'm beta-testing it now). Meanwhile, Discord makes it super easy to see what others are creating and get inspired.
3. Start creating and experimenting!
