DESCRIPTION
I tried Midjourney AI for the first time and I was seriously blown away by what it could do. Aside from just being really fun, I also found that it had several practical uses for 3d artist and for archviz. In fact, sometimes it might be a little too good at what it does. I can see why there is some concern. I have lots of thoughts about its uses, about the potential problems it causes, the ethics, etc.
In this video, I will go over all the steps you need to take to get up and running in Midjourney -- it's free and it takes just a few minutes. I will also show tons of examples, talk about practical uses, discuss my overall thoughts on Midjourney and AI art in general, and also explore the ethics of such things. As always, I would love to hear from you about your thoughts. If you have used Midjourney in an interesting way, if you disagree with me about the ethics, if you have questions...please let me know in the comments.
**stay tuned to the very end for the most SHOCKING results of all :)
Very interesting stuff, gonna have to check this out for sure! As for how I would potentially use this, as you say it can be a real neat way of generating images for inspiration. For instance if I am going to model some kind of sci-fi scene/object, I'll spend hours combing the net for inspirational images, watch (you guessed it..) Star Wars movies (again...) and other sci-fi movies that has the atmosphere I have in mind, all for inspiration. It sounds like this could be an awesome time saver, especially since I guess it might give me high resolution images with lots of detail, while also making it possible using the right key phrases to narrow down exactly what it is I am looking for to work from. Also in Arc Viz situations doing interiors being able to rapidly generate some wall art, book covers etc.without having to worry about infringing copyrights ought to be very useful.
Regarding the ethics, well that in my opinion in most cases likely comes down to what you use it for and how. As you say just feeding it someone else's artwork, making some modifications then selling it as your own work would definitely be a big no-no. Creating a mood board and rough idea 'sketches' with this tool, then going on doing your work based on that seems perfectly ethical to me. I absolutely agree with Mike's comment that artists should have the choice to have their art removed from the database.
Will this put people out of work? Quite likely to some extend, either this particular project, others similar to it or future enhanced versions of these, but so did the combine harvester and every robot assembly line in factories all over the world. Progress is the way of the world, where manpower can be cut by cheaper solutions likely it will be if viable. However I very much doubt that this will negate the need for human artistic input and skill. Though this is an ingenues concept, it seems from your example like its hard to narrow down the exact result you wish to produce, so some tweeking and polishing, and hands on creativity will still be needed.
All in all this seems to be yet another neat tool to have in the creative pipeline. Being more effective and time saving in the context of Arc Viz projects just means we can either A: bill our customers fewer hours or B: Spend those saved hours to deliver an even better final result (or C... meet our deadlines and actually stay on budget and make a profit ;-)
I think you're spot on with all of this 👍
Today you write a scene description, and AI creates a static image based on it. Tomorrow you upload a 200 pages novel, and AI makes a two hours movie based on the book with ultra-photo-realistic scenes, of course. This will be an end to the Hollywood movie-maker companies. In the 2030s, when AI gets an IQ of 1300, which is impossible for humans to reach that number, you upload a lot and physical location with a description of the house. Then AI creates several house designs with all details, including virtual 3D tours, interior decoration, bill of materials, etc. Good luck to all of us!
Could get pretty crazy for sure. Hard to predict the future, but I agree that this tech will advance quickly and to very high levels.
I believe that the artist's work that is being used as sample data for the AI should have a way to remove their work from the sample pool if they wish. Other than that, I feel the ethics involved aren't that out of line with how human artists have copied each others styles and methods throughout history. AI just does it at light speed.
Yeah, I basically agree. That is actually a cool idea to allow people to opt out somehow. I bet a lot of artists would want to do that, but I doubt it would stop AI from progressing anyway. It does seem like it would clear up some of the potential copyright concerns. Interesting thought.
Those artists would need to opt out from showing up on Google image search, Pinterest, and sites like that. Otherwise I don't know how the AI could specifically exclude certain artists.
If for portfolio ok , but for commercial use the client have lot of changes and updates … i think hard to revise
Very valuable to watch this video. Thank you. Still very scary
Changing technology and appropriation have long been a part of art. Fresco to oil painting, painting vs photography, etc. What would Duchamp, Rauschenberg, Picasso have done without found objects? Technology marches along, good and bad. Difficult to put the genie back in the bottle.
I have a bachelor's degree in Art History, and maybe that is why I see it the same way as you do. There has always been some anxiety around technology and its effects on art. The camera is the biggest example of this, but of course today we consider photography a fine art. I do think that we are living in a time where technology is accelerating at a very rapid and unprecedented rate. I will be very interested to see where this all goes.
This is just the beginning, give it a few years and it will be able to do custom imagery based on a specific design.
I need it to get to the point where it can handle all the client change requests for me perfectly :)
I'm kidding, of course. That would be kind of nice to get rid of that annoyance, but then yeah, I probably wouldn't even have a job anymore at that point.
It will be interesting to see where it goes.
@@Learn-archViz Try Image to Image, with the building, it's crazy. Oh and they don't shuffle images taken from the internet, it uses a process called inference diffusion.
@@mariorossini7252 Yeah, I mostly just mean to say that images posted on the internet can be used to train the AI. Is that part not true? I do not have a deep understanding of the process, obviously, that is why I was mostly just commenting on other people's complaints that I have seen on social media and the internet. Does the process of interference diffusion (no idea what that means) change the ethics somehow of copyrighted art being used to train and AI system?
@@Learn-archViz tbh yeah, if you want we could get on a call and I'll explain further
Isn't Dalle2 better than Midjourney for archViz? :)
I don't know. I'll have to try it.
is it $30 a month or forever? is it $20 for private forever?
Those are both monthly. Not very cheap if you need to use it a lot. Then again, buying stock imagery has also gotten quite expensive.
Best to embrace and adapt. Sorry fellow artists, it's a losing argument that was won in the case of printing press v. church in the year 1440. The clergy of the time did not want the printing press to move forward because they were the gate keepers of biblical knowledge and the printing press threatened to make cheap bibles in German, not traditional Latin. Look up the argument, the artists today sound a lot like that. Also, it's hard to complain about how AI learns when humans are doing the exact same thing, we all have our influences, references and inspirations. David Bowie said it best in his "Never Play To The Gallery" interview. Bowie was a total and admitted art thief AND SO ARE YOU. Copyrights seem to only be a matter of convenience with so much fan art and cosplay on display with NO regard to the original rights owners. AI is not going away. It's another software tool that has the potential to actually turn people into their own personal industry if they can use their coveted creativity to figure out how. Many seem to hate it for the sake of hating something new. How about we get back to fighting for affordable health care or something that really matters?
I don't disagree with what you're saying here, but I also understand the feeling of angst about one's skills becoming more and more obsolete. I do think that the best remedy is to be able to adapt quickly to evolving tools.
@@Learn-archViz ok 1, I'm about to buy your Unreal Arc viz course so obviously I have faith in our futures. 2. It's about how to find a way to use this technology, just like photoshop or Unreal, etc etc, to make ones' self their own industry. Robotics are next and my advice is the same. It's NOT, oh no the robots are going to take my job, its FANTASTIC! I will finally have a work force to produce my own dreams! The Ethical way one can use MJ is to feed it your own work and derive massive versions from your original single image. I'll draw one work with all the features I want to capture then feed it to the AI. I'll then curate the best of the best and send those design into production. For me I have a laser and CNC machine (oh no ROBOTS!) and produce some amazing works. MJ = artist freedom. Not freedom from artists. If you're like me, there is no off switch for this brain and it requires more production than I am able to produce. Technology to the rescue, always!
@@elidelia2653 I think that is a good outlook, and certainly the most productive one to have. Also, I have experimented with using MJ the same way you are describing (feeding in my own renderings) and it is quite awesome. It really does unlock a lot of creative ideas.

We designers are going to lose our job.......sure it's a copy machine, but can we human copy & filter such a massive data within 60 sec?
Yeah, that is similar to some of the points I brought up. It is way faster and more efficient than we could ever be. The one thing that sets humans apart still is the ability to create something fully custom. AI comes up with very cool things, but they are not nearly as specific or as accurate as they would need to be in my line of work. For conceptual imagery that doesn't need to be precise, it is quite amazing. Also, it is scary to imagine where this could go with AI generated 3d models, floor plans, etc.
@@Learn-archViz Indeed It's scary ,actually in realworld 99% of designers copy art's just like AI did......But after I finished watching your video at the end with your photo generated by AI......I think we human designers still have some hope.....hahaha
@Bear ZH HAHA! Now that was terrifying! 😆
@@Learn-archViz exactly, I have some clients that can spot a missing stair step and need it fix at all cost..
@@wezzard Yes! We all have those clients. Ha ha. These AI images can't cut it yet on the fine details.
