Review

“The gold standard for aesthetically striking AI art.”

Midjourney consistently produces some of the most visually striking AI-generated images available, favored by designers and hobbyists alike.

The learning curve around prompting and the Discord-first workflow (now supplemented by a web app) can be a hurdle for total beginners.
