What is Midjourney AI and is it better than Dall-E2?

THE spring of artificial intelligence (AI) is officially here, after a gruelling winter where developers were clearly working hard.

A raft of new AI bots and apps have been brought into the public domain over the past few months following a years-long dry spell.

Each has its own characteristics and specialities, which leads us here…

What is Midourney AI?

Midjourney is an image generator which creates pictures using AI.

It’s still in its beta phase, but users can sign up to be one of the first to try it out.

Although, it’s said to have a pretty long waiting list.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, simply punch in text prompts like ‘an astronaut on a lounger’ to receive an AI interpretation of that image.

They are both in their beta stages, so neither one is more developed than the other.

While the pair are both AI image generators, they have some important differences.

The resolution of the images by Midjourney are typically of better quality.

But ultimately, it’s a matter of taste.

Midjourney offers a dream-like artistic style to user requests.

It creates artwork that is slightly more abstract and with a haunting feel.

While images produced by Dall-E2 tend to be more photorealistic, and can often resemble real-life photography.

While it can be great to have a highly accurate image, some find Midjourney’s interpretation a lot more artistic.

In order to get access, you need to register for an invite.

But be warned – it can take several weeks, if not months, to be accepted.
