Unlocking Your Creative Potential:
A Guide to Getting Started with Midjourney 5

INTRODUCTION

Midjourney is an AI model that generates images. While the creators of Midjourney have not openly discussed the technology behind it, it is probable that it utilizes a diffusion model similar to Stable Diffusion rather than a GAN-based model. GANs are commonly employed for generating images, particularly in deepfake creation.

GETTING STARTED

Midjourney primarily operates within the Discord chat platform, which has gained significant popularity among gamers. At the moment, there is no dedicated web platform for generating images using Midjourney. However, they do provide a page for managing user accounts, FAQs, and a gallery to view the images created by users. While there are no publicly accessible APIs available at present, there have been discussions and indications that APIs and a dedicated website for image creation are being developed.
