I hate traffic, but Manhattan looking like a ghost town is maybe bad for the NYC brand?.

💯.
I don't get why anyone would prefer Zoom for a two-person call. Surely an old-fashioned voice call is better. You can pace and think about what you're talking about instead of focusing on the other person's face. This is why you have better conversations walking side by side.

I think this is the hurdle for a lot of people. If you don’t have the language to describe your idea, it might be because you’ve never had to engage this part of your mind before. Or that the references lack depth bc they’re not attuned to the world in the same way.

Overly derivative work will always be a bit boring to people who are more attuned to aesthetics because we’ve seen a version of it before.

Uploading existing images from artists or photographers and running a lazy prompt feels no different than a hack-y rip off of someone else’s work.

Using language to describe a new idea and letting Midjourney interpret that prompt based on your own preferences to create something novel is the interesting part for me.

Using your own unique personalization model is a reflection of your own preferences and taste-which is no different than having a personal style based on your preferences in art, fashion, music etc.

Those matrices are inert until combined together to form something new. The training data was already in the world for people to view, remember, save, and reference for their work - like mood boards, for example.

Creatives are inherently attuned to their environments, culture, art history, and a myriad of other inputs. The creative process is the act of synthesizing those inputs into new outputs. In this way I view Gen AI an infinite series of matrices existing in a latent space.

Working this way feels even more ethical than using mood boards-which have been an integral part of the design process for as long as I can remember. Often resulting in work that feels too close to the references.

One of the deliberate challenges I place on myself when I’m working in Midjourney is to not use images in my prompts. Doing so feels like stealing other artists work directly. Training on my preferences and then using language feels more ethical. 🧵.
One the saddest realizations for me when we were scaling the @midjourney server at @discord in ‘22 was seeing millions of US gen z kids struggle to prompt . They literally don’t have the words. Broken english. Pidgin lingo. Translating thought to language is insanely hard for.
