#Midjourney Ai featuring art by @torsion_boneworm
Making huge waves on social media and in the art scene, the highly versatile art A.I Midjourney may be limited to a relatively small number of users but it holds terrific opportunities. A.I stands for artificial intelligence for those not privy to the acronym and the tool called Midjourney uses A.I to scour the internet for images based on prompts you input yourself into their discord. After inputting the prompt the tool generates four images that you can then vary or upscale to your heart’s content.
Understandably we believe some artists are apprehensive at first but you can’t deny that no matter how far generative art goes… it will never truly hold a flame to a creation someone made by hand out of nothing. While pretty, it doesn’t necessarily denote great hand-eye coordination but it does most definitely require other talents that are in their own category. All in all, we don’t feel as if this threatens true artists in any way, it only expands the art world to people who are more talented with words rather than hands. At Forum Obscura, we’re in full support of Midjourney and intend to use their art as much as we can.
