So I have jumped on the bandwagon.
I got curious a couple of weeks ago about the new AI artwork generators. I joined the Midjourney Discord channel and played with the free prompts for awhile, then decided to pay for a month so that I could endlessly generate silly artwork from prompts that would not generate any money or usefulness other than my own satisfaction.
But hey, maybe you here at Hive will find some of them amusing!
Without further ado, here are some of my favorite prompts that I've created:
This one was pretty funny to me. It reminds me of this one time back in 2007 when I was working at EA Games here in Los Angeles. There were all these young 20 somethings working there as temps. They all essentially had 10 month contracts and then would be let go. I mean, they could apply again but the QA jobs were temporary.
Every time they would have a 'mass firing', you'd see all this kids crying their eyes out walking toward the exit. Some, funnily enough, in cosplay. So yeah, This Midjourney comic-con pic is works for either situation quite perfectly.
The prompt: Bernie Sanders is fed up. Dressed up like Rambo. Body builder. Steroids. Ready to fight. Photo realistic.
It's funny, sometimes the images are not totally accurate or coherent, but most of the time they kind of generate at least one image of what you imagined. I was ok with these. You have to be really specific about what you want if you expect to get anywhere near what you are imagining.
I was actually quite surprised by the outcome of this really vague prompt. I wasn't sure how the AI would interpret such an ethereal statement. Somehow it came out somewhat profound. The stillness and presence of awakened awareness seeing everything in this very moment for the first time. Pretty cool!
Not really a funny one, but still wanted to post it.
So I don't really know why this popped into my head, but it gave me exactly what I asked for, a rotting apple morphing into Sarah Jessica Parker. Not sure what else to say about this one.
This is a very strange interpretation of Dr. Phil as a gangbanger. I'm not sure why he is licking his lips longingly in the second picture. No one really knows what happens in the mind of Midjourney.
Prompt: Samuel L Jackson playing Donald Trump in an action movie. High definition, cinematic, detailed, realistic.
I don't know why, but I really wanted to see Samuel L Jackson playing the Donald. I mean, the guy never seems to turn down a part; so I can totally see it happening. I have seen quite a few Trump prompts and I am always amused by the way Midjourney interprets his hair. Somehow the AI knows that his hair is a focal point.
Speaking of the Donald, here is a combo that no one ever asked for. The offspring of Trump and Hillary. We can thank the gods that this never actually happened!
So I asked the AI to imagine what a human face looks like to a worm, but somehow I get the feeling that it gave me what a human/worm hybrid face would look like. Either way, both terrifying and funny.
So the prompt for this one was: George W Bush cybergoth kung fu master. Realistic, highly detailed, 8k, headshot
I can't tell at all what the thing was trying to do. I guess cybergoths who are into politics skip the outrageous clothing and just opt for conservative colorful hair beads, purple makeup and necktie.
I had to do one more Samuel L Jackson. This time he is the child of Jackson and Thanos. Hilariously the AI decided in the 4th image that his body should also be his face (or vice versa).
I've been having fun playing around with the AI art generator, but it still has a long way to go before it's taking anyone's jobs. That being said, a long way is not as long of a way as it used to be. This technology is moving as breakneck speeds!
I'm really excited and somewhat scared to see where we are in a few short years (or even months!)
This is so cool. It’s crazy that you can just tell an AI what to create and it does it. That Trump and Hillary baby is creeepy as hell.
I really wish that I could get access to DALL-E 2. It has a waiting list... But some of the images it generates are insanely good. Yeah the Hillary hybrid is pretty creepy.. haha
Very interesting. I have just started to learn about all of this. I joined the MidJourney Discord last week, but I was totally lost about what to do next. I didn't understand the prompts at all until I read your post here. The enlightenment one is pretty awesome. I have seen some other AI art like that and it is really deep.
Yeah, you can get really fancy with the prompts, but the basic format is to just type
/imagine a dog with a human head.
You can write several sentences further describing what you want. One thing I like is that you can type --ar 16:9 at the end for the aspect ratio.. Obviously you can change the numbers to whatever you like!
Do you have to pay to be able to use the prompts?
This is so cool😎😎😎😎
Thanks!
I recently joined Midjourney bot, and my free trail has expired, can I use other user's images without copyright or watermark?
Honestly I don't know. I didn't bother to read through all of the rules because I didn't really expect to use the images for anything. The only thing I know for sure is that I can use the ones that I generated for any purpose since I paid. But I only paid for a month to have a bit of fun!
OK, I got it
Thank you so much for your reply
Have fun bro 🙏
Seems pretty much interesting. Looks like fun to play with al art.
Can i have link to their discord ?
Thanks
I got to it by going to their website midjourney.com and logging in with discord. I think it connects you from there if I remember correctly!
I think the Donald Trumps characters might be easier to depict, I mean the signature hair and that distinctive face, although it was weird seeing how it maligned with L Jackson there., I think the Bush combo, brought out a native American samurai thrill.
They're all stunning hahaha
Haha yeah it is bizarre how the AI interprets some of the prompts. Scary sometimes.
Lol yeah, I don't know why it popped in my head, but made me laugh for sure. It was enough to see SLJ with Trump hair.
The program is a lot of fun. I can't wait until it gets even better.
hahaha good ones, I've experimented in these days with this IA, and it's very impressive, I'm curious about how much resources it needs to work.
I imagine it uses quite a lot of resources! Especially at thw rate people are throwing prompts at it. The discord feed moves by insanely quick.
Yeah! I noticed it too.
Wow 😳 these are set of beautiful work of arts 😍 please I'll like to see so much more from you...
Wow. We were taught some kind of art in school but this is so advance for me. Lol 😀😀. Thanks for the art works. @nuthman
I Followed you.
😊😂🤣 funny and some disturbing stuff! :P i liked the sad nerds the most, but the trump+hilary one was truly scary..
just wanted to say thanks for the support on my recent irs post. i am amazed how the hive community really supported this one.. it was just like a rant post on that, but i'm more than happy it could affect so many.. :)
Yeah the AI makes some crazy stuff!
I saw your post on another friend's feed I believe. So sorry to hear about the IRS doing you like that. Such a nasty organization. The interest on top of it is shameful.
😞😉💪😎 thanks. well, thanks to that rant post that i angrily typed.. hive showed me big support and i consider that as my most successful post of all time! :)
ps. i also got a loan from mom to pay it off, so at least there won't be no more interest..
Some of the pictures are truly terrifying 😁
I have to agree.. haha
There is a medium that has some hacks on how to get certain outcomes. It's kind of like a cheat sheet for commands in midjourney. I haven't paid yet, but I have been playing around with it quite a bit. About the only way I will ever be an artist!

I found it funny too but with a good sense. I love how the arts were created. So incredible. Warmest greetings from my side.
Man, I missed this one - I had joined Midjourney on Discord, but not used it at all. Just watching what others do. A friend of mine is pretty good at it, posting on Facebook. But he also uses his own images as prompts.
- yeah, Peakd is screwed - Status Code 530
That is what I do sometime on Wombo. Here is one done with a Selfie in my younger Years (I was 18 at that time), from a b/w photo in Wombo, can't remember the text prompt, the style selected was Steampunk:
https://app.wombo.art/listing/32d4211a-c134-4792-8087-4dafd1e33f78
I tried to upload this, both from the site and from my collection on the computer, but PeakD is playing stupid!
On Flickr I posted this one, which is a combination of Wombo and Deep Dream

Try another photo, at random from my computer:
what a waste of time and effort - good thing I didn't try to make a post, I'd be throwing my computer out the window by now.
So good night, for all it is worth!
Link to my Flickr post - one site that actually works, even if PeakD doesn't:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/artofthemystic/52297357108/in/album-72177720300610440/
This is a combination of Wombo and Deep Dream - on Wombo I used a image of one of my artworks as the prompt (and as text prompts I sometimes use profanities, which Midjourney does not allow) and the result I took into Deep Dream, using style 15.
Now I took it to Twitter, lets see what PeakD does with that!?!?

Pretty trippy! I have been thinking it would be cool to use ai generated images as inspiration for human made work.

Amazig what the an ai can do in this days what the future will bring?
How amazing! You're also creative. I love it 😍 Hugs from Pankso 😉
