  12. Great video thanks One thing i’m still not sure of tho-So, if you get to your final full resolution image it could take up 5 or so of your included minutes? – if ,say you regenerated your 4 pics picked one or two, regenerated one and then selected it and upscaled to max- is that correct.? All these seperate tasks will count as seperate jobs and your 200 images ($10 plan) would probably translate as about 40 final upscaled works ?

  14. I'm trying to hire an artist at the moment. I've contacted two, multiple times, with professional queries. All to no avail. If this becomes workable it will be invaluable to people needing artwork but are unable to get the human artist of choice to respond.

  18. Literally the best video for people starting out with Midjourney. I know you thanked us for watching, but I have to honestly thank you for how incredibly useful this video is. Imagine all the prompts that this video has helped people generate. The power of this video is immense. You're the teacher to a brand new generation of AI Artists. I've liked and subscribed and I'd love to see if you have any more tips and tricks videos for this software. Absolutely incredible work.

  19. whenever machines take over the human jobs, there are a lots of people out of jobs. but other jobs were created because of that change.
    John Henry is a famous example.

    We have come a long way from that.
    we are in a "MidJourney" here.
    hence the name and pun intended (or the secret revealed for the name?)
    but to understand the problem you have to look at the end result in the future when this Journey completes.

    you have to calculate & imagine the probability of the trajectory here.

    1. we are heading towards a society of truly handful of elites and powerful people running everything thru a bunch of verbal commands or on a whim. and all the other less powerful living creatures or rest of the planet is probably dead or in a situation where they preferred they were dead.

    2. A playland where we are allowed to have fun & games and do amazing things and no one has to buy and pay for anything.
    we would just enjoy the sun, drive dust buggies on moon, do gardening on Mars, play hide and seek in the asteroid belt, fly jets in Jupiter etc etc etc. making more babies meanwhile of course.

    guess which one of the scenarios is most likely and required least efforts from humanity?

    my advice to you, if you have children, hug them hard, kiss them gently, look at them longingly.
    you are leaving them in the hands and the mercy of the machines.

    good luck.

  20. You're concluding remarks are concerning. So certain in A.I. being good for us but so high on it you can't see what it will lead to. Artists dont make art to push it out faster and make more. This is why you still think you're making art. You just dont understand creating a piece of art. Its not a tool, you picked a booger and typed some words you stole from a song title. What are some things that tend to be more common in societys, kingdoms, Governments, even families, right before they collapse? What would happen right now if everyone in the world immediately got everything they could ever desire? You think people would be happy and content? Having everything at your fingertip, would we live in a world at peace? HOW ABOUT NO F'N WAY. In 5 minutes somebody will ruin someone elses peace just to feel something more. BECAUSE we are humans, not computers, not focused on cutting time, generating maxium productivity. The time is an ingredient to art. The experience of having something within, then finding the way to bring it to real life, and not only getting to see it, but the fact other people are getting to see it, brings meaning to everyone. Art is not without meaning. There's no meaning or story A.I. is making these from. That's why there's a dark vibe in all of it. Humans need struggle, they need a goal, they need problems, and imperfections. They need ways to better themselves, always. The rapid advancement of technology has only weakened human intelligence, and continues to take us away from living, feeling less and less present in the moment, always there to think for us. There's just such a small chance of this actually being more beneficial than destructive for all life here. its just not so obvious yet.

  22. Many new artist complain that they ate not getting good. They complain they dont uave enough time. They dont have those expensive tools. But they have time to talk about A.I. In discord or make a video about midjourney. Most successful artist dont have time to talk about these non sense. Unless you are a youtuber who want to increase views.

  26. At first midjourney freaked me out, but as I looked at the images my mind opened up. It was like seeing my dreams while awake. I am excited about this new frontier. This will speed up the creative process and increase output for me as an artist. Once 3D objects can be generated on the spot, we’ll be creating virtual dreamscapes through Zork-like prompts—text based (or dictated) adventures! Great video. Very informative!

  33. Everything gets a reference. Your own imagination is a reference from things your mind knows but tried to recreate them in a new way. Like I design a creature from scratch but the it looks like a humanoid bull with metal horns. All of those things are references. Stop hating on AI.

  34. What might art become? Soulless and worthless. My art is my life and so it is for any true artist. It’s hard enough to try making a living out of this passion these days. No artist that I know of wants to become a computer programmer, or whatever the correct term would be for feeding images into a computer program that will take jobs away from so many. However unfortunate, I fear that will be the case in order for survival. Think about your own passions, the ones that run through your veins, being reduced to worthlessness by becoming so commonplace. What takes me weeks is spewed out in seconds. Have no doubt that any corporation will pay one “artist” a meager salary instead of an entire art department’s salary. What in the world would you need a freelance artist for any longer? It’s bad enough already that you can get any art you want made on Fiver for practically nothing. I have seen people blatantly stealing art styles in prompts, so, if you are an artist reading this and you post on social media, be aware of this. You can not compare an artist to another form of a technology overtaken job, this is more then just a job, this is a makeup of an entire human who cannot help but create art, kind of akin to having your heart torn out. I can’t see any good coming out of this, this is not YOU being an artist. It’s getting mediocre thoughtless passionless graphic images and not having to pay for it.

  36. Hello! Loved this video, it was hella informative. I'm in the middle of a project involving Midjourney and your input would be incredibly appreciated. Is there any chance we could talk over Discord or something? Thanks!

  39. Not going to lie, it's been years since I've lost my sense of worth as an artist. I'm not going to pretend like this tech isn't terrifying. I've been depressed over this for weeks now. I'll ultimately be fine & move on to something else, but yeah this shit hurts for anyone that was hoping to escape the depths of poverty with their level of skill eventually paying off. I don't think this will be possible in 5 years, not unless you become an actual content creator on youtube to supplement.

  41. Finally, someone who describes Midjourney in a way that's easy to understand and without a load of waffling. You also have a great voice with no annoying speech patterns. Your narration is well considered. Your channel is going to be MASSIVE. Well done and thank you 👏🏾👏🏾 (Edit: Subscribed)

  42. Please help with a question.
    – Can I use the works that I made in this neural network for the cover of a music album or book cover? (It seems to be impossible for free, but if through a subscription?)
    – and the second question, is it possible to use them for the same purposes if I change the detail in Photoshop? (Are small changes enough, or are big changes needed?)

  45. Making something completely specific is the goal of any actual artisan. Music production ability is measured by the ability to produce EXACTLY (within very slight tolerances, although generally on the enhanced and upgraded side based on that specific base) what an idea for a song is. A visual artisan should be capable of producing EXACTLY what is desired to be made. “I want tit to be exactly this way” and then model it or draw it, etcetera. THAT is what an artisan does. Too many bipeds flooding the internet with halfassed art isn’t going to make things better. A little concerning for the future if “eh, not really, but guess that is close enough” with AI generated art gets chosen over perfectly crafted masterpieces.

  48. I have to say your final thoughts on AI art at the end of the video really hit the bullseye.

    I feel the same way about AI. I'm a writer and I've been using Jarvis/Jasper since it came out to boost my productivity, and I can say firsthand that it does not replace us as writers. It only makes us better at what we do, helping us focus on the content much more, helping us learn how to become better writers, and giving us ideas that become an inspiration for new, even more creative ways to express ourselves.

    I believe this is exactly what will happen as these AIs become better.

    Absolutely pure inspiration, even among artists, is very rare. In fact, IMO, what we see as pure inspiration may just be our inability to pinpoint what past experience inspired us in the first place. That being the case (again, in my humble, non-professional opinion), that an artist uses a tool like AI to better express themselves doesn't make them a worse artist. It's not "cheating," as some might see it. The artist still has to give the right prompts and decide which images are more appealing, which work and which don't, and they have to make all sorts of other decisions that come after learning how to use the tool.

    AIs won't replace human creativity because they come from human creativity. They're trained on our art, they don't just create it out of thin air. As you say, this is just a tool, and an awesome one at that. I think it'll help us tap into our creativity and put into an image what we sometimes have trouble imagining ourselves.

    Thank you for such an awesome and inspiring video!

  51. How is typing suggestive adjectives and nouns make a person an [artist]? With programs such as these, now anyone is an "artist". 🎨🎭 Its sad how society now depends 100% on tech. In the new world coming soon, we will enjoy working with our neighbors and hands. We will use technology, but it will not use us.

    The world will soon end. Type that in your 'Midjourney' A.I. and see how well it paints Armageddon 🔥

  56. Is there anyone that would be so kind to share some ideas on keeping consistency in the output? For instance of I want to write a picture novel how can I keep the faces of the characters the same but I'm different expression (sad, happy, mad, on thought…)?

    Reply

  58. This is a fast track to a trillion versions of schlock, frankly. Materiality and especially CRAFT is very important to creation and SUBSTANCE of art, and especially of innovation in art: even Warhol STUDIED his craft before abandoning it, as did DuChamp. This sort of disembodied image generation is going to drown an already hyper-saturated visual culture in endless permutations of both itself, and of the kitsch imaginings of a whole generation of Sunday painters who have no real idea about composition, alliteration, form, colour theory, weight and so on. So we don’t need to worry about human beings not having art, it is the one thing machines will never be able to make for us as anything but superficially sexy but ultimately meaningless pieces of absolutely worthless shite.

  60. Wonderful Video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m new to this and just seen your vid.
    Shame it doesn’t allow you to tweak things that you want to focus on in an image that you are satisfied with – instead; it seems to give you a totally different image when prompting MJ to change a minor value.
    I guess you just have to bring it into Photoshop?

  61. Everything you need to know about MidJourney in 2 minutes or less.
    It uses stolen art.
    It would be used to make artists obsolete.
    Corporations would use it to "cut the middle man" and governments would use this to churn out propaganda.

    You welcome.

  63. very good video and amazingly said at the end. as an artist i was very scared about ai and the future of an artist, but after using Midjourney its such an eye opener. For me i will use midjourney to expand my inspiration and initial work flow.

  68. I dunno to what extent artists will be replaced, but I do know for sure that kids and teenagers will stop trying to learn and practice art. They can only assume the AIs will develop much faster than they ever will, learning to draw takes thousands of hours.

    Reply

  73. i mean they will put the artists out of their jobs, but they also stole the artists data. so id say, the artists band together, and sue the living shit out of the AI companies, because all copied the artists copyrighted works into their systems, without anyone agreeing to anything. without those source files the AI is worthless. its like cannibalisms right now.

    the artists lost their jobs, and since the AI makers compete –>> (in law space this gets you *ucked) in the same area, some judges will make very just rulings, and everyone hopefully sues the living shit out of these AI companies. followed by the European union because they stole personal data and processed it without consent.

    imagine googles AI imagin, which had the biggest database, would have went public. i honestly would have sold my google stocks. google would have had the money to pay all those artists.
    but yeah the AI *uckers like midjourney are sitting in russia, so we just gona fuck over the artists now guys. dont pay them for anything, make double accounts with throw away emails and abuse their service as much as you can. they dont have any usage rights to their generations anyway.

    but tldr artists got *aped pretty bad and wont be the last.

  75. Doesn't seem to work for me.i go into the newbie channel, type /imagine and my prompts, and then nothing. Other prompts and their images continue to show up, but I get nothing.

  85. It is definitely a blessing because it will empower a whole new set of creatives with ideas that we might otherwise never see to participate in the process of creation. I ask people the same thing about "software development". When you gave an AI that can generate an application from a "regular" user's description of what they want – we're likely to get a whole new breed of software…

    And that situation is coming sooner than people think…

  90. so your telling me wait I hear people saying when you wanna use a prompt you can just type "cat in a hat" and it will show much better pictures then a "8k unreal engine " ? like I see people posting that and the photos look very nice but idk if I just put something simple and not something I want

  91. Sure AI art is fun to use, it's exciting to see what the algorithm can come up with. But what I'm missing, as an artist, is that feeling of satisfaction I get while I'm creating, painting or drawing. The high I get as I'm watching my creation develop as I'm creating it. The satisfaction I feel after I have created a "masterpiece". To have my need of creating met. I won't get that from AI art. I can imagine it's good for inspiration or if you want to have fun for a little while. For me, AI art is more of a game.

  94. The first projector was created in1420 called the camera obscura was the a.i generator of the time if you will and people snubbed their noses those that didn't used the new tool to create the master pieces we see in museums today art went from eh to wow ok. Same as now just in at a much faster rate

  95. Hi there, thanks for the video. I have subscribed for the monthly plan which is $10 per month but for some reason every time i put a command it says that my free trail has come to an end. If i go to my account it shows the subscription. I am quite new I would appreciate any tips. Thanks

  98. AI-generated art will be cool if it is used as another tool for artists.

    I'm concerned about all those people who want to type some shit and treat them like the artists who put their time and effort into their crafts.

    They try to make art as just another tool for capitalism.

    But because new technology came out doesn't mean you can replace these things.
    An excellent example is auto-driving cars; the technology in this field already exists and is even good.
    But the problem of humanity and responsibility for accidents keep them from proceeding.
    Elon said we would ride taxis without a driver, but it's not happening.

    For that, we should have safety for artists who try hard for their crafts.
    Art shouldn't be just left as another tool for capitalism.

  99. I think there are some great things that come with AI art… but you and others glorify it WAY too much. I find people are "owning" the creative outcomes. Saying with pride, "look at what I did", when all they typed was "Wolverine surfing on the moon, in ___ style" . Is it the future? Maybe. Probably. But I think people are making too many exceptions just because they feel like they've accomplished something more than they deserve. It feels like a bunch of monkeys found a way to jump on the shoulders of an amazing street artist, tugged on his ears, point at what he makes, and say "look what I did!". That said, I use Midjourney… but it's not me. I'm just the monkey with a finger.
