I couldn't make "sexy abraham lincoln" or "seductive abraham lincoln" and describing either of those as porn is pretty ridiculous

and they say generating anything violent is against the rules and can get you banned, it doesn't have to be gore

so I disagree with your claim that they only censor gore and porn

Yeah. I mean that was the joke with "man getting hosed down with ranch" and my mayonaise man. The joke was cum. It was funny seeing which one made it through. Also "bodyslam" and "piledriver" were not acceptable terms.

Looks like Wombo can spell (print your prompt in the art randomly).

I also tried some WH40k style art. It definitely knew it was pulling from 40k with the prompts, but it didn't seem to quite hit the mark. It certainly has the right tone and feel, but not much coherence. Maybe that makes it perfect for 40k, though.



I really like those. More upscaling and filters would have given it a sharper, more defined look I guess?

edit: The other day I was thinking about how 40k-esque these new image-AIs are. Like, finessing the algorithm to get it to produce the image you want feels like an odd combination of technical know-how (which filters/commands cause what to happen) and associative imagination, completely independent of understanding how the code is working on a fundamental level. Sometimes with my choice of words and attempts at creating a certain lighting or mood, it feels a bit like a tech priest waving incense censers at a piece of tech, while other times I seem to stumble on a "magic word" whose associative significance to the AI is lost on me.

That's my impression as a code-illiterate person who's really fascinated by this stuff, anyway.



I prompted this one with something like "complex dorter trade city, antiquity fantasy style, ivalice, Akihiko Yoshida style, dark fantasy style, uphill street."

For me the most interesting thing about Midjourney is that a lot of it is just experimentally throwing in terms via your associative imagination and seeing what the magic well throws back at you. I'm getting better at manipulating it to get the type of images I want, but the learning process itself, and occasionally just going wild with strings of adjectives, is really magic.

I was thinking writing a forums CYOA-style game/story could be really fun using Midjourney.

Also, I read the bit about the "creative commons" in the online manual. It seems like as long as you're not a company making $1 million+, you could for example use these images combined with something like the makeplayingcards.com website and publish a board game using this art with no issue? (Assuming you're not using images from a specific franchise, I mean.)

I was trying to get midjourney to meld two images for so long last night. I ended up trying all sorts of combinations of random poo poo, mixing the style levels and image weights of the source image prompt, trying different styles and detail/realism prompts etc, additional text prompts to try add weight to stuff I wanted in there. Everything came out looking fucky.

Eventually I just punched in 'x dressed up as y' and it worked perfectly. My 1990s computer toucher brain simply cannot comprehend natural language parsing in computer systems.

yes I know the language parsing still sucks a lot of the time

I feel like the novelty value alone will kickstart its relevance in broader media. Definitely don't envy graphic designers now, but I'm kind of giddily anticipating what kinds of applications people way smarter than me will figure out.

I've read that other types of AI are already involved in things like calculating actors' "star power" vs. cost and optimal release dates. It'll be no surprise when they make stuff like focus groups look ridiculously primitive.

Is it just me or does this kind of feel like a pandora's box moment like "the internet" was?

edit: here's the Creative Commons related stuff in Midjourney's "rules" tab on their Discord channel:

Seems ok for small independent types to be using in their products? I'd love to hear a real lawyer interpret this though.

I have a feeling it will be everywhere in 10 years and overused in uninteresting ways. The same way low poly 3D models were slammed into everything in the early 2000s. We figured out where when and how to use them in TV movies and games, but that took time. People just discovering AI art for the first time constantly miss flaws that people that have been playing with them for 4+ years already see instantly. I can't wait for a bunch of TV shows that we look back at as basically N64 games. A few amazing gems so many that were fun rides buts completely unplayable now and stuff that was just experimental and didn't work in the first place.

There's a place for AI art, either assisted or just raw expression of the machine. Something is going to take off made by an AI and everyone will dogpile in trying to do AI movie in the cheapest most repeatable way.

That's exactly my point it will be barely working in that sense and people will then air that as the new season thinking it's good. But when you look at it in even 15 years it will look like the janky garbage it is that vaguely resembles the X-files but when you look closely at anything is obviously not. Molder just slowly morphs into Skully while Skully morphs into Molder for no reason mid conversation which model is producing which voice changes as it ticks to 51% the other character, maybe there's a part where there's 2 51% Molder's and they both talk and Skully is mute because she doesn't exist in this context.

Really weird and strange things that you have to actually watch and not just listen / background watch to notice. And no this wont be part of the plot it'll be a weird thing that the AI just does. If you watch the image AI and let them run way too long you get some really really weird stuff going on.

Everything is so based on existing art (obviously), I'm curious if you combined the text ones with the image ones if you could get a pitch for a new IP with concept art and plot ideas, from a well worded prompt.

And then theoretically even scripts, though a lot of the text stuff I've seen seems to forget what's happened or who is in a given scene, so there's probably more sophisticated models to come.

I appreciate your skepticism, but it's hard not to see at least a significant economic disruption in terms of creative-service industry jobs. I'm really mediocre at visual arts, but with the right prompts I can now get effectively unlimited professional quality art for $30/month. Lately I've been designing analog board games as a hobby, and now, with the greatest of sympathy towards artists, I nonetheless see no reason to take a chance on a "human element" when I can produce multiple high-quality pieces of media in about 30 seconds as long as I spend a modicum of time researching the right terms/filters to finesse the AI into giving me what I want.

I've been curious about seeing what DALL-E does when you just feed it an image without a description for a prompt. I wanted to see how much creative license it would take with the composition. Using those two images, it gave me these:

who's to say that being able to come up with the exactly correct and detailed prompts to create art isn't just as much a rare talent as creation of art in the first place?

because like, as an artist myself, when you think about say music. the issue with making good music has almost nothing to do with being talented at playing any instrument. many people learn how to play an instrument very well but can only "write songs" in the sense that they can string together chords and notes.

so, hopefully, you know, it shifts to a situation where good artists are the ones who can most intelligently utilize the technology - by, for example, having the artistic capacity to type "orson welles dressed as sailor moon, realistic photograph" :grin:
