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.

They have close to a million users on their Discord, seems to work out not so bad... But I suppose the real reason was simply to save time and money.

Just let the chat scroll down and you’ll have a free art exhibition. I wonder if there is a way to do this on full screen. Would make a nice (although bandwidth hungry) screensaver of sorts.

Also this AI idea of anime style is more akin to a Tony Diterlizzi style than actual anime/manga.

Okay I got to say I have never been both superimpressed with the product and yet confused how sucky it was to get to it. heres what happened 1. I see the post on HN 2. I click it. 3. I read comments, see people discuss why its on discord, and figure worth checking it out since I have discord 4. I had to log in with discord, go to their chat, 5. read the trial support room chat(webpage only had basic $10/month and premium $20/month plans) 6. finally suggesting I use the /imagine prefix to bring up the midjourney bot which will then take a text prompt or multiple prompts to send their ai engine to generate pretty image

7. To test I typed in our sun exploding in a super nova 8. In fractions of seconds the chatbot responded with the image 9. Here is the image ->https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/989268285575008376/10... 10. I feel I should have gotten to step 9 a lot sooner and they should make it obvious what this can do with a better demo or something 11. super cool, going to play with this rest of the day, thanks HN community

If I was an artist, I'd be really scared right now.

Nah! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1003491515068321913/1... Prompt was omniman vs homelander vs superman

It's not perfect but the pace of progress in art generation technology is crazy to me. Nice username by the way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

you don't get to see other's images and talk with them in a shared chat channel with that approach (unless they build out a lot more web app). Which is half the fun of it. (Not that hard to build, but more work than a Discord bot.)

Which is half the fun for /some/ people.

What people are saying (including me) is that it's not fun for them, and Discord feels like a big hindrance instead of a benefit.

The coolest thing about this is seeing the images generated in almost real time. The bot will generate blobs of colors and then iterate to generate more and more details. Very fun to just watch the various feeds.

Yeah, you can choose the version, upscale it and enhance it also
