Why does Midjourney continue to insist on using Discord as a UI? I'd much rather they release a command line tool I can run anywhere if they insist on a text interface.

My assumption is that, since theyre officially advertised and supported by Discord, they might have terms that they cant? Just a bad guess

I think that maybe because a lot of its target users really care about their discord identities, it makes it easier to moderate with the threat of banning offending accounts

It just kills me. Disord is a horrible, horrible way to interact with it

A week or so ago there were rumors they were building the functionality into the website, with some heavy users getting early access.

My guess for Discord is that it lets them offload a number of costs: from costs of hosting the content to having to develop and maintain a website

They have asked feedback some time ago what users would want from a dedicated app. So I'm sure that is on the works.

On of the reasons I think is their statement on making it publicly available. In order to make your images private, you have to pay a hefty monthly fee. It levels the playing field as most of the prompts are public and you can learn from others.

Seriously, what a terrible experience. As soon as there was an alternative (DALLE3), I jumped ship and canceled my sub.

Because the kids are the future and the kids like Discord.

beezlewax• 3 years ago

Yeh discord was such as strange choice here and should have been immediately replaced after the initial offering was successful.

cvhashim04• 3 years ago

I believe they have a web app in progress and soon to be out

MattRix• 3 years ago

The whole point of using discord was to build a community around generating images. On top of that, if you’re not sure what to make or run out of ideas or aren’t sure how to prompt, then there are tons of other examples there to inspire you.

Soon there will be a webui to use it as well, but the initial choice of discord was definitely not a mistake.

i think their choice of interface has definitely put them behind compared to their competition

What? It’s easily the most accessible.

monlockandkey• 3 years ago

It is genius. As a "startup", for free you are getting community, traffic, marketing and terabytes of free image hosting.

Plus think of it this way, websites fight tooth and nail to stay relevant to the user. You win that fight if they "install" your app. Joining their Discord server means you have installed their application to one of the most frequented messaging apps. If this was a website, you would have forgotten about it after couple uses. At least when it is in your discord server dock, it is visible to the user and in their mind.

It’s one step removed from “build in public” and you get to see and build prompts from other (although, they’re included with the result).

I'm desperate for another player to outdo them so I can take my money elsewhere. It feels like I'm being treated like an infant using this absurd Discord UI.

CaptainOfCoit• 3 years ago

Anyone have any comparison images between this version and the previous ones? Seems the blogpost is missing this essential element.

chamoda• 3 years ago

This twitter thread has some https://twitter.com/nickfloats/status/1737728299332460681

When (if ever?) will midjourney support Dall-E style prompts where you can reason about the created image with the 'AI' instead of just trying to engineer your prompt to generate desired output?

BetterWhisper• 3 years ago

Still no API...

dhooper• 3 years ago

This feels like a scam site. It's not affiliated with the real midjourney.com.

On their FAQ they are intentionally misleading in order to make it appear that they are lead by David Holz, but he is actually at Midjourney.com, not mid-journey.ai

It looks like it is just a funnel for getimg.ai which is a stable diffusion front end with monthly subscription plans.

blackoil2• 3 years ago

Definitely Scam. Whole site pretends to be Midjourney except smalltext and points to https:// getimg . ai /?via=mid-journey.

harrid• 3 years ago

I think this is just a copy of the official announcement in discord. So the site might be fishy, the content is not

blackoil2• 3 years ago

Midjourney has no blogpost or official release about v6 allowing phishing site like this to propagate. Searcing for "Midjourney v6" in google points to this site. Similarly they don't have a blog so searching for "Midjourney blog" point to this and some .co.in site.

troupo2• 3 years ago

v6(alpha) is available as a setting though (perhaps to paying users?)

And the results are consistent with what people report on Twitter and elsewhere
