I have been also having a blast with MidJourney. I write a lot for myself and have been using MidJourney as inspiration and illustration for what I write. Super fun!

Wow, these are seriously dope! I'm lovin' the bottom left tile in particular, but really all are awesome.

I hadn't thought about using it for writing purposes (outside of creating cover images for stuff here on DEV), but that's a brilliant idea! ๐Ÿ’ก I might try and use it as a songwriting tool... it was also make for amazing album art, haha!

Been using MJ for a month now and generated over 1.5k images. It is amazing of course, but the usefulness is so far limited. It's hard to get MJ to generate what you actually ask it to generate and it has a hard time understanding context and semantics. If you want to create abstract art, landscapes, random pictures, etc., it is awesome. But you get tired of this after a while.

They had a beta version available for a while that was MUCH better but for some inexplicable reason shut it down, which pissed off many in the community. It was much, much better.

MJ is cool but so far not very useful. Creating sprites for game graphics, however, it works well for those who are into it.

Now that @j3ffjessie mentioned that MidJourney is better to use than DALL-E, I think I'm gonna go with that. I could be waiting till the end of the year for an invitation to it. ๐Ÿ˜†
