RECAP & PROS/CONS
I’ve been using Midjourney since the beginning of fall quarter. A second year student gave me a helpful prompt template as seen above where you adjust various criteria and get super specific on what you want to see. The more specific you are, I find the closer the image is to your initial vision. Midjourney got it right in that I really wanted something hyper-real and photographic. However, some of the faces look off and body parts look a bit warped in some. I like how it gives four initial options with opportunities for variations without changing your prompt at all so I wanted to try that for one of my three variations for this projects. I am defintely fascinated by MJ’s capabilities and want to learn more about prompt architecture as well as beef up my photoshop skills so that I may update MJ and other AI generated imagery to future client specifications, since it is not possible to get specific about colors used or illustrative style. It might be hard to get something exactly fitting your client’s brand guidelines right out of the box with MJ, so having post-production editing skills is a must. Also, I think it is interesting that MJ decided the dentist was a man, which highlights the biases in AI algorithms. The default assumption and data the AI surveys has decided dentist must mean man.
