Midjourney, the image-generating AI specialized in creating images, generates incredible results. To test the tool, you must go through a Discord channel and subscribe to a paid subscription. Follow the instructions!
AT Like DALL-E, Midjourney fascinates the internet with its ability to generate incredible images from a simple text command from the user. You don’t need any special skills except to know how to write – unlike software like Photoshop, which is much more technical. And as much to say that the success was there, so much so that, following “incredible demand and abuse in trials”, founder and CEO David Holz of Generative AI had to close free access. Until now, Midjourney allowed all Internet users to create 25 images free of charge, before offering a subscription ranging from ten to sixty dollars per month. Small tricksters therefore did not hesitate to multiply the free accounts, and the influx of users ended up causing a temporary breakdown of the servers… So now you have to go to the cash register to take advantage of this incredible tool, via a Discord server – which makes AI less accessible than DALL-E. AT note that Midjourney recently deployed a fifth version (v5) which generates much more realistic and detailed images (see our article).
Midjourney: how to generate images with AI?
Unlike other image-generating AIs, which are accessible on a simple web page, you have to go to a Discord server to be able to take advantage of Midjourney’s services. The use is also a little more complex, since it is necessary to use “prompts” – kinds of commands – to describe to the bot the desired result. The AI then generates four results, and command buttons allow you to indicate which one you want to go to, so that it generates four new ones. Be careful, you are in a public room on Discord. Also, all the commands that you will enter as well as the images generated will be visible to all Internet users. You may find it difficult to find your way at first among the stream of photos created. Finally, it is better to enter the commands in English to have a more precise result.
Here’s how to take advantage of version 5 of Midjourney:
► First of all, you must have a Discord account. Connect to yours or create one.
► Once connected to the desktop application, click on compassin the left sidebar, to explore public servers.
► In the search bar, type Midjourney and do Enter. Click on the first result Midjourney, the one with the green certification.
► Click on the message at the top of the server to join it, via an invitation.
► You are then accepted and will see new chat rooms appear in the left menu, where you can exchange with the community. To start generating images with Midjourney, you need to subscribe to a paid subscription. Go to one of the rooms starting with #newbies.
► Type the command /subscribe and click on it. Done Enter.
► Midjourney responds to you by generating a link. Click on it.
► A web page opens. Choose the subscription that suits you and follow the steps to subscribe to it.
