    Got an invite to midjourney.com and was using up all my free credits last night.

    This is an insane AI art creation tool. You type your request into discord then a few seconds later you get 4 images rendering.
    You can then choose to upscale any or show up to 4 different versions of each.

    At the moment it's invite only. You get some free credits but after that have to pay $30 for infinite credits per month. You have to renew each month.

    Currently it is for Non-Commercial use only. It looks like there's going to be a pay to use for commercial use soon.

    Their text-to-image technology is unbelievable!

    • Examples of the types of outputs

    • This is the underlying tech: https://openai.com/b…section_014
    • its kinda boring ... the text to image technology get pretty lame.. ontology and skillwise its crap.. u can literally feel that every douchebag who has noneverscared
    • knowledge of design can produce something eyecandy which lasts for a second...at least i got bored after watching the pieces the last monthsneverscared
    • MaaadPhanLo
    • overrated id say.neverscared
    • but i can see that someone who is too lazy to get into 3d software and coding might find this mindblowing.neverscared
    • i remember joshua davis saying a few years ago that there will never be a kick ass filter... same with this ..it gets so boring in such a short time that itsneverscared
    • close to worthless.neverscared
    • Remember when we all thought Content Aware Fill was going to replace us?nb
    • Paging Palimpsest.

    • I hope that their pay-to-use model is a high price so that it puts off folk creating low effort artworks and flooding the AI art market with straight outputs.microkorg
    • That is absolute laziness. The way I and others I know use AI is we use it to create elements. Then I piece together lots of ai (or other genres of work) tomicrokorg
    • create unique works.microkorg
    • Am looking forward to this evening once kids are home from nursery and sitting with them thinking up shit for AI to create for fun....microkorg
    • 'Unicorn with pink sneakers on drinking bubble tea' . that kinda shit ;)microkorg
    • @nb I don't think any of us thought content aware fill was going to replace us as designersSimonFFM
    • Neverscared, there is some skill to great outputs. 90% of what I'm seeing output from the platform is generic AI stuff.microkorg
    • But the 10% who've nailed writing great descriptions for the tech to pick up on have some astounding results. I'll post some in here later today.microkorg
    • i know i follow some guys and they get shitloads of good feedback .. and it looks allright but after a short time it get so boring like a filter.neverscared
    • after u seen a couple of them u go... cmon, this is incredibly boring .not this generic stuff again and again...neverscared
    • maybe the untrained mind and eyes gets more kicks out of it... and i adore A.I driven design but only with more substance behind it.neverscared
    • how is this connected with nfts ?neverscared
    • Great more ways to devalue artists...grafician
    • Nobody is talking about how their beta program is just a way to harvest the skills of talented creatives to dump into future algorithms for free?garbage
    • Facebook and the like have been taking and selling your data. This type of thing is taking and will be selling your talent the same way.garbage
    • Said it before, and I'll say it again: If you're a creative in your mid-30s, you need to consider the very real possibility of your own irrelevance..garbage
    • ..in the very near future. It doesn't matter how good you are, because people just as good as you are feeding these things.garbage
    • And let's be honest, it's not like audiences are becoming more discerning. Standards are lowering for everything because we see more of everything everyday.garbage
    • Again, you guys don't understand "AI" :))grafician
    • here some more background info: https://www.qbn.com/…

      Again, nothing to fear

    • If you think this is about DALL-E, maybe you don't understand AI. GANs have been effective at producing work that passes as human for over a decade bro.garbage
    • Things like this beta are human input to compose the discriminative network to levy against the generative network..garbage
    • ..then the AI spits out it's best "not uncanny valley" version, and it's going to get better and better at it. But you knew that, right?garbage
    • It should be scary to anybody in any creative field that hasn't already gotten a cushy foothold.garbage
    • Your stance is like somebody working in a newsroom in the late 90s with a working title "This Internet Thing is No Big Deal".garbage
    • it´s good for nfts .. people with no skills can shoot sth up and make some bucks with a exo toxic coin and token .. without substance .. if u wanna be narrowneverscared
    • go for it..i mean eco toxic..neverscared
    • Connected with NFTs cos I use AI in my NFT artwork ;)
      But also, if they start to allow commercial use, be prepared for an onslaught of folk minting creations
      microkorg
    • who cares if they mint it... it´s a zero skill method..neverscared
    • good for paris hilton and alike.. she can finally show of and the undereducated will get all hyped up.neverscared
    • looks a little you are to lazy to learn some new code in processing or c++ for 3d scripting to compensate your outdated flash scripting skill with a childrenneverscared
    • A.I method.neverscared
    • @garbage wanna bet it's all a fad? :)grafician
    • also my stance is that of someone who gets it and laughs at all the idiots who think they're rediscovering firegrafician
    • @neverscared Zero skilled method should scare you. We're moving into a LCD generation of appreciation. Quantity will Trump quality.garbage
    • @grafician Oh I will take that bet, because it seems like you don't really understand GANs.garbage
