The output is quite cool, but why on earth have they locked interaction with it away in discord instead of having it available in the web? It basically guarantees that most people won't know about it, won't interact with it, and won't be able to view the results. It's just a deeply weird design decision.

I for one will wait for secondary sources and if this is so great I might end up creating a Discord account. But not just to check out for myself if it's cool or not.

reddit.com/r/deepdream has a lot of Midjourney output.

Probably has a split effect. I saw no way to interact without discord, close tab.

Same here. I'm not a gamer and Discord isn't a thing in my world. I simply closed the tab.

I’ve been playing with tech like this in various Discord servers for over a year now and I’m still fascinated every day. Knowing how incredible it is and then hearing people say “Sure. But, Discord. Ew.” is a shaking-my-head moment. The Discord interface is far from ideal. But, it has had a very high ROI for the small, low budget team behind Midjourney.

I don't know why. I use the Discord server and don't like it, my messages get lost in the scrollspam and it's just a bad experience. Surely, a text field on the site would have been equally good.

I used to think that way too, but putting it on a social platform has a lot of benefits. New users who don’t know how to write prompts can learn from others and discover new artistic styles and concepts. It brought me up to speed much faster than DALL-E’s web based interface.

Fair enough, I guess there's value to the social feedback you get in discord and being able to easily see what others have input.

There isn't really, the majority of people in the channels are newcomers, it scrolls too fast for you to really see much, and once you subscribe you move to private and only see your own messages anyway.

I have no idea why they went to Discord, it hasn't provided any benefit to me personally, at least.

Where are the mind-blowing images?

You will find it here https://www.midjourney.com/pub/feed/

And then I try the same prompt that produced the tree and get this nightmare:

Easier to rate limit and easier to transition to selling access?
