Midjourney

“Midjourney can generate you a pelican riding a bicycle artwork easily”

“MJ can still be fun to use from an experimental/exploration perspective”

“you can still find interesting and distinctive works in, say, Midjourney's community galleries”

“full of wonders and surprises”

“the ability to generate chaotic, surreal images was most of the fun for me”

“I expected it to produce midjourney type results out of the box.”

“This is also what is compelling about Midjourney imo.”

“sharper aesthetics, better personalization & quality!”

“That has all been washed out of the model at this point towards a statistical average”

“The different midjourney models have very boring default aesthetics and styles of composition.”

“MidJourney has better style than most other image generators, especially for artistic images.”

“I'm only surprised it took so long for them to branch out like this.”

“I don't think "someone used their tool to produce a silly result and used it" qualifies as Midjourney having questionable history at all.”

“Midjourney already has some very questionable history with medical imagery”

“The image creation was really cool”

“you could tell that it actually understood what objects were and what words visually meant”

“The amount of masterpiece level art flowing per hour was astounding.”

“Midjourney probably has the best baseline, and --sref is a really easy way to differentiate”

“they're using Midjourney, which blows any GPT/Gemini model out of the water when it comes to taste”

“Midjourney has some of the absolute worst prompt adherence in the universe”

“I like it best for image generation which I do for work”

“Generated hundreds of Midjourney prompts daily for my design work.”

“the moderation with the MJ tool was at one point so strict that you could not generate an image”

“creators who still prefer it because of its subjective qualities”

“It's still the best looking image model, even if it's hard to prompt, can't edit, and has artifacting.”

“They still have a niche. Their style references feature is their key differentiator now”

“they're part of a very small group of organizations that sell inference under a sane and successful business model”

“nowhere near SOTA on prompt adherence or image editing but pretty good on the artistic side”

“the other models you showcase really do adhere much better to the details of the prompt”

“We have stopped using major services because of their TOS wording, Midjourney being one.”

“MidJourney creates the best overall-looking images, but it's the worst at sticking to your prompt.”

“I liked the stylistic aspects of Midjourney, being able to use image examples to maintain stylistic consistency and character consistency is SO useful”

“I still use Midjourney, because all of these major players are so bad at stylistic and creative work”

“being the foundation of Claude Code, Opencode, Midjourney”

“Midjourney has 10,000x better aesthetics despite having terrible prompt adherence and control.”

“Midjourney is one aesthetically pleasing data point in a wide spectrum of possibilities and market solutions.”

“But it has the most lackluster and awful control of any model.”

“It works well when you want fast visual ideas without full production work.”

“I actually thought very early Midjourney looked good because of all had an impressionistic, dreamy quality.”

“People who want to make images often have a passion for Midjourney”
