After ChatGPT changed the prompt to something fancy

Overview

Blog

Midjourney is a text-to-image tool, also known as generative AI. This is not a completely new technique, but recently the company Midjourney released Version 5 (v5). This version allows for even more beautiful images to be generated, and the tool is said to be better at understanding the input you give.

This blog is more of a showcase of what it can do, rather than an informative post. This is the result of an evening spent tinkering around.

With this tool, you can generate all kinds of images by entering a piece of text. Since I'm not very creative myself, I'm asking ChatGPT for help:

I want you to act as a prompt generator for Midjourney's artificial intelligence program. Your job is to provide detailed and creative descriptions that will inspire unique and interesting images from the AI. Keep in mind that the AI is capable of understanding a wide range of language and can interpret abstract concepts, so feel free to be as imaginative and descriptive as possible. For example, you could describe a scene from a futuristic city, or a surreal landscape filled with strange creatures. The more detailed and imaginative your description, the more interesting the resulting image will be. Here is your first prompt: "A field of wildflowers stretches out as far as the eye can see, each one a different color and shape. In the distance, a massive tree towers over the landscape, its branches reaching up to the sky like tentacles."

Below you can see a few photos that I generated using Midjourney:

More to follow on the combination of the two in the next weeks

A websurfing armed pinapple in cyberpunk style

In a sprawling neon - lit cyberpunk city, rain pours down onto the slick streets, reflecting the kaleidoscope of colors from the countless holographic advertisements that tower above. Amidst the bustling crowds of augmented humans and androids, a curious figure stands out - a pineapple, but not just any ordinary pineapple. This unique being is a websurfing armed pineapple, seamlessly blending organic and synthetic components. Its outer shell is an intricate fusion of metallic armor and natural pineapple skin, shimmering with iridescent shades of green, yellow, and chrome. Sharp, crystalline spikes adorn its crown, giving off an otherworldly glow that pulses with the beat of the citys energy. The pineapples cybernetic eyes, a pair of glowing, holographic lenses, constantly scan the digital landscape, accessing information from the metaverse and communicating with other sentient beings. A virtual reality visor occasionally flickers into existence, hovering above the pineapple as it dives deeper into cyberspace. In addition to its digital prowess, the pineapple is equipped with a multitude of advanced weaponry. Concealed within its armored exterior, a sleek, retractable arsenal emerges when needed. Futuristic firearms, plasma blades, and even a rocket - propelled grenade launcher are all part of the pineapples formidable arsenal. As the armed pineapple makes its way through the city, it leaves a trail of sparking data streams and holographic emblems in its wake, a testament to its prowess as a skilled websurfer and defender of the digital realm. This enigmatic figure has become an urban legend, a symbol of resilience and adaptability in a world where technology and nature have become one.

Amidst the neon - lit, bustling atmosphere of a futuristic funfair, an awe - inspiring rollercoaster dominates the skyline, stealing the attention of excited thrill - seekers from far and wide. This marvel of engineering is not just any rollercoaster; its a cutting - edge, robotic rollercoaster, merging advanced technology with adrenaline - pumping entertainment. The rollercoasters track is a gleaming, intertwining maze of sleek, chromium steel beams that twist and turn in seemingly impossible ways. Loops, corkscrews, and hairpin turns combine with sudden drops and steep climbs to create an exhilarating ride like no other. At night, the rollercoasters structure comes alive with pulsating LED lights that follow the path of the coaster cars, leaving a mesmerizing trail of color in their wake. The coaster cars themselves are a sight to behold, crafted in the likeness of robotic creatures. Each car is designed with intricate, biomechanical details, reminiscent of advanced robotic exoskeletons. Glowing, fiber - optic accents illuminate the metallic surfaces, adding an air of otherworldliness. As passengers board the coaster, they are securely fastened into place by robotic arms that gently, yet firmly, embrace them, ensuring their safety throughout the wild ride. As the rollercoaster accelerates, the robotic coaster cars appear to come to life, their movements becoming more fluid and dynamic. They soar through the air, propelled by powerful electromagnetic forces, and navigate the complex track with agile, animal - like grace. The entire spectacle is accompanied by an electrifying soundtrack of futuristic synth music that resonates throughout the funfair. As passengers disembark the rollercoaster, they are greeted by a towering, interactive hologram that displays their rides statistics, including top speeds, G - forces, and even a personalized thrill rating. This high - tech rollercoaster is more than just a ride; its an immersive, multisensory experience

In a sun - drenched, dusty Wild West landscape inspired by the classic Lucky Luke comic series, an unusual scene unfolds. A vast desert stretches out as far as the eye can see, dotted with tumbleweeds, rugged rocks, and the occasional cactus. A towering, once - dormant volcano looms in the background, spewing a thick plume of smoke and ash into the sky. Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the volcano erupts, sending molten lava cascading down its slopes. Amidst the chaos, a most peculiar sight catches the eye: a cactus, seemingly imbued with life, has sprouted a pair of spindly, root - like legs and is running away from the impending disaster. Its two slender arms, complete with prickly spines, are flailing wildly as it dashes across the desert terrain. Despite its frantic expression, the cactus maintains the distinct, hand - drawn, and slightly exaggerated Lucky Luke style, with bold outlines and vibrant colors. As the cactus sprints away, it dons a weathered cowboy hat that flutters in the hot desert wind. It also sports a bandana around its base, giving it an unmistakable Wild West appearance. The cactus journey is punctuated by the occasional near - miss with a wayward tumbleweed or a sudden, unexpected geyser of lava that shoots up from the ground. In the distance, a cast of quirky, cartoonish characters watches the scene unfold, their faces painted with a mix of shock, amusement, and disbelief. Among them are classic Wild West figures: a gunslinger with a toothpick between his teeth, a grizzled prospector clutching a gold nugget, and a saloon girl fanning herself with a colorful parasol. The entire scene is imbued with a sense of humor and surreal charm that is synonymous with the Lucky Luke style. The cactus daring escape from the erupting volcano becomes a whimsical, action - packed adventure that captures the spirit of the Wild West while pushing the boundaries of imagination.
