Midjourney Opens AI Art Generator to All Users in Open Beta
Midjourney now allows anyone to use its AI art generator in open beta, offering 25 free images before moving to a paid plan. Users need a free Discord account to access the service and create their own artwork.
Midjourney opens its evocative AI art generator to everyone in an open beta, allowing users to create spectacular images through text prompts. The platform provides about 25 free images to new beta users before requiring a paid subscription of $10 per month for 200 images or $30 per month for unlimited access. An enterprise membership is also available for corporate use of the generated artwork.
Compared to competitors like DALL-E, Midjourney produces more artistic and less literal interpretations of user prompts. While DALL-E excels at photo-realistic results, Midjourney stands out for users who prefer more stylized and creative outputs. The service joins a growing field of AI art tools, including Latitude's Voyage and Meta's Make-A-Video.
The only catch to accessing this AI art platform is that it operates entirely through the Discord chat application. Users must create a free Discord account and join a designated "newbies" channel to start generating images by typing the "/imagine" command followed by their text prompt. This unique setup makes Discord a mandatory gateway for anyone wanting to experience Midjourney's capabilities.
