Hell yeah! I realized the link to Midjourney’s discord is absent in the OP, so there it is for anyone else. Discord is the only (I think) way to interact with the MJ service, but their website is cool and good - especially the live catalogue where users’ generations are listed. It’s pretty slick. Here’s my profile. The website does require a Discord login to see the catalogue/feed side of things, unfortunately no anonymous/unauth browsing but Discord is pretty anonymous if you want it to be.

The MJ discord has a ton of channels - many are for generation, some are show and tell, obviously some general discussion/FAQ type stuff, but one of the most interesting is #prompt-craft wherein people discuss and explore how to, well, craft prompts.

This whole model of “feed AI words, get image output” starts to get kinda freaky for me. Prompt crafting, whether you’re aware that’s what you’re doing or not, is in that uncanny valley between “regular computer-touching to make it do what I want” and “seance with an alien intelligence to understand how it interprets language by reverse engineering what it paints on the wall after I tell it something”.

I’m really interested in what Disco Diffusion can do, but sadly haven’t had the time to get over the learning curve nor have had the patience to wait for its iterations - especially when MJ often takes literal seconds to output.

Haha. You do sound pretty excited. I'm an artist by trade, so equal parts excited and also terrified over here.

If you want help with figuring out Disco, let me know. It's my favorite generator so far, but the results are a lot more evocative, instead of specific.
