After much experimentation with AI and generative AI tools such as Adobe FireFly and Photoshop for Web, I wanted to take a closer look at Midjourney statistics as that’s where my AI journey started.
For those unaware, Midjourney is created and hosted by Midjourney, Inc. in San Francisco, California. On March 14, 2022, Midjourney opened a Discord server and in July 2022, the tool had an open beta for its latest versions, which is when I jumped in!

It currently has five regular model versions from V1 to V5, with V5 having 5.1 and 5.2. And it has two other versions called Niji and Niji 5.
Midjourney is a generative AI that turns prompts into images. In other words, an AI creates images based on the words you type in. There are all sorts of prompts you can use from simple words to complicated statements.
For example, you can type “fire” or “a fantasy landscape with a castle, a river running, and a dragon flying overhead”.
Midjourney has become a source of artistic expression for many users who want an alternative way to make digital art. Though it’s a fairly recent program, we have statistics to show how AI-generated art impacts the online community.

Frequently Asked Questions

sponsored message
The prompt function can be accessed via Discord’s chat input field. On Midjourney’s Discord server, you type the command /imagine which will open a box where you can type the prompt content. You have to wait for the prompt box to open since the bot won’t activate if you copy and paste /imagine with the prompt.
How can you get the best results from Midjourney’s image generator?
One of the tips and tricks that users do is to type specific cameras in their prompts to get better lighting. The lens description from the camera is understood by the AI which will generate a realistic and high-quality image. For example, a candid shot in a crowded marketplace in Morocco, capturing the atmosphere and colors, with a shallow depth field focusing on a street vendor using a Sony RX100 VII with 4K resolution.
