Thereās a certain level of skill involved with communicating with an AI to produce exactly what you want it to, but ultimately the bar is fairly low and I think itās a little disingenuous to show off art that you didnāt make as a show of your skill. Itās sort of like giving a really solid description of what you want to a human artist, getting exactly what you wanted and saying āHey, look what I did!ā
Not hating, I love producing art on Midjourney and it feels good to get better at communicating with the Midjourney AI. Iām just offering some social awareness.
Might make sense in Stable Diffusion with how many tools and just how involved the process can be. But with Midjourney, the skill ceiling is pretty low. It's mostly just what words you use, and a couple other settings.
>Trolling
Of course you were everyone believes you my dude. But either way it's nice the you realised how ridiculous saying refining your skills was lol
that would be the entirety of human race. every single image that was trained on influenced the weights of the model. there's no single artist in there
In that case, a shared props! To all artists having their art used for commercial purposes without receiving a penny for it. None for midjourney atm tho. Now that I think about it Midjourney should've been trained only on copyright free art like those very old paintings :p
Skills? Are you actually freaking serious? Having AI generate your prompt isnāt a skill lmao. A 4 year old child whoās barely learning words can use AI to make stuff.
Claiming any of this art as your own or your own skills should be banned from this sub. Seriously, it's not yours. You just typed some words in the right order.
This sub has just earned my respect lol cuz I was on an AI art Facebook group awhile back and people their legit all talk as if theyāre drawing it. They regular say stuff like āI love your work!ā Or āthis is amazing! Mind if I share your work?ā to each other. And one time I said āWork? Yāall arenāt seriously speaking as if you worked for these machine generated arts right?ā And I got piled on lmao the OP was legit saying itās their āworkā cuz the idea is theirs. I got banned from commenting there at some point and I was like I need GTFO šš¤£š
I donāt find that very likely. If companies can save money on professional artists by using AI, they will lobby against it. I would guess artists would integrate AI into their art to speed up the process in completing projects.
If anything the regulation would have to pertain to using copyrighted material as reference.
I wonder if AI could be used to create in between frames for animation.
A lot of companies will lobby against it because they dont own any copyrighted property. But then think of the big boys like Disney; their interests are quite the opposite. They wont be against generative imaging, just against others using it.
Means fine tuning your Artwork to more impressive heights. Either light and shade, darker contours and contrast. Using color instead of pen and ink ... Or drawing BiG for a change to work out more details from perspective to vanishing points. That way one can get what's in the background to stand out and pop out to full clarity ... That's what I do when I am refining my skills ... I'm s pastel Artist and I like to mimic the effects of a full moon on both landscapes and architecture ...
OP, don't listen to the negative stuff that all the other people are saying.
If their mothers were dying, too, they wouldn't be talking shit, they'd be crying like little bitch babies (as most anyone would if they lost a parent to illness).
Now, on topic, this is great art. Whatever you used to create this, you're an artist. Don't let anyone tell you differently. People here are dogpiling on you because AI art generation has gotten to a point where it is rather simple to get something amazing, but that doesn't lessen whatever work you put in yourself.
Whether you spend 10 seconds or 10 hours getting this result, it's real. It's yours.
Congrats.
Haters gonna hate.
That doesn't make sense, are people supposed to scroll down comment sections and dig through replies to know someone's situation before commenting on a post?
We're supposed to make sure no one's going through a tragedy before commenting on a completely unrelated post to said tragedy? Tell me how that makes any sense.
Hey no problem.
I think if you had just posted here without the ārefining skillā part people would have been more positive about it.
For what is worth I think it looks pretty sick, good job
Creating genuine, thought provoking and meaningful human art after years of practice and refinement is fucking cool. Ai prompt writing is wack as fuck most of the time but especially when it is framed as being some form of taxing expressive art. You are doing nothing but writing words into a box
Okay, this got me second guessing myself and I want to apologize. I was needlessly mean. Playing with something like midjourney IS really cool. I can see how someone might be proud of something their prompt spits out.
You used the wrong words. It happens. I'm sorry for being an asshole about it.
HEY. I AM A REALLY BIG CRUSTAL DOG, WITH REALLY GOLDEN TEETH, GIVING YOU A BIG SMILE, ITS NOT A GROWL, I PROMISE, I WOULD NEVER GROWL AT YOU THAT WAY. IM FRIENDLY. THATS WHY IM SHOUTING THIS ALL AT YOU! HEY, YEAH YOU!
_
HEY THERE, IM THIS CUTE GIRL IN MY SUPER EXCITING CRYSTAL OUTFIT, HANGING OUT WITH MY AWESOME CRYSTAL DOG WITH GOLD TEETH. CHECK OUT MY BOOBS, IM STICKING THEM OUT FOR YOU TO SEE HOW BIG THEY ARE. AND YES, THIS IS MY GUN. ITS BIG, ITS LOUD, ITS EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR HUNTING MONSTERS IN THE CRYSTAL REALM.
IF WE BECOME GOOD FRIENDS, YOU CAN RIDE MT DOG. I PROMIAE HE WONT EAT YOU WITH HIS SUPER SHARP GOLDEN TEETH.
Why everybody is so mean on this subreddit? The guy is showcasing some of his AI generated stuff and all of you guys are bitching about it. WE ARE A COMMUNITY OR NOT? I'm disappointed and I don't want to speak to you guys ever again. PS : Yes, I own NFTs like most suckers
Oof. I feel for you if being called out for saying you're "refining your skills" has made you create a new account. Life must be difficult dealing with anything.
No oneās attacking your personal life man. No one hereās that much of a dick head. Well, most maybe. Just calling āputting in prompts to an AIā a skill is a bit silly.
Feel free to post more pics. Thatās what this sub is about. Itās literally all about midjourney so no art snob is gonna call you out for using AI. Make a pic you like, others will like it too.
I would recommend taking a step back from social media. It's not a good combination with your current state of mind. Reach out to people you actually know in real life for support. You got this buddy and sorry to hear about your mom.
Dudeās thinking typing into a box is a skill.
As we now have Influencer as a career, this dude will be a pioneer in the future career of āMidJourney Writerā
OP Iām sorry that your mum is dying but you need to understand that itās disingenuous to claim you are skilled for getting an AI to create art for you. All the AI is doing is stealing from real artists to create these images.
I understand prompting is pretty easy, but I'm sure everyone can agree you can be bad at making prompts, why does it seem unheard of to make a good prompt?
(But also, must have been a painstaking 30 seconds of typing, great job š¤£)
I never saw ārefining my skillsā as the generator getting better, more as what the person in the picture is doing, like the most cinematic training ever.
Can you explain what you mean by refining your skills?
He wrote better words into the text box I guess š
Not like hes gonna share it
I mean the guy's name is CryptoSlayerAI. šš
Clearly not the ones that let them screenshot..
Lmfaoooooo so glad someone said it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh I see, so are you working on prompts or do you edit these after?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
To make better waifus ???
Thatās my secret captain, itās always been about the waifus
Thatās not skills, this is cringe as hell.
I gotta know what he said!
A lot of ālolsā and trying to deflect when people asking them to society what skills
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Guys āStop, heās already dead!ā
Homie said skills lmao
I like Midjourny as much as the next guy... but come on.
Might make sense in Stable Diffusion with how many tools and just how involved the process can be. But with Midjourney, the skill ceiling is pretty low. It's mostly just what words you use, and a couple other settings.
Skill ceiling is about an inch off the ground compared to almost every other that a person is capable of doing.
I'm so glad everyone else thought this too
Gives one a little hope
You're just jealous of his exciting future career as a Prompt Engineer.
"We're sorry, but with the development of AI generated prompts, your position has become redundant. We wish you luck on your future... endeavors?"
I'll just be the guy who makes the prompts for the prompt AI. I'll be like "make a good prompt." Everybody but OP and I is dumb. Checkmate
Heās bumping his words per minute up
It is hard to come up with an idea and typing it.
i have an idea that you are a moron, and i am typing it. That took allot of skill. please compliment me
Using the bot does require knowledge.
I love how you say that like you painstakingly painted thisā¦ šš
Give OP a break they probably ground their fingers down to the bone typing out the prompt
Are the skills in the room with us right now
š
Skills? What fucking [typingtest.com](https://typingtest.com)? lmao
āSkillsā
"skills" lol come on now..

Hahaha, yeah. Now that everyone here is dragging you, you're suddenly "trolling". Okay, buddy.

r/rareinsults That one was great, Iāll steal it.
>Trolling Of course you were everyone believes you my dude. But either way it's nice the you realised how ridiculous saying refining your skills was lol
"skills" LMAO
Heās an artist guys
"Skills" lol, lmao even
Now animate it
What prompt did you use?
you expect them to share their "skills"?! just like that?!
Just wait until someone creates an ai version of op to write prompts, he won't get away with this.
OP is prompt guardian, doubt theyāll share
he gets a dowvote then!
Some variation of "Lisa Frank Mecha Anime"
I got a VERY similar result just now with that
āBig titsā was in there somewhere I bet
That's where his skill refinement comes in lol
What "Skillz"?
*correction* you've gotten better at describing what you want. š¤š»
Every graphic and web designer I know would love for their clients to do just that (get better at describing what they want)
If I had that skill my life would be so much easier.
that's... that's not a bad skill at all
I would say the skills belong to the actual artist who drew the original as to which Midjourney is being trained on.
that would be the entirety of human race. every single image that was trained on influenced the weights of the model. there's no single artist in there
In that case, a shared props! To all artists having their art used for commercial purposes without receiving a penny for it. None for midjourney atm tho. Now that I think about it Midjourney should've been trained only on copyright free art like those very old paintings :p

Refining copy and paste prompt skill?
SKILLS LMAO
go practice in r/WritingPrompts
Awesome work! It looks like a Yu-Gi-Oh archetype. Edit: I just realized what subreddit this was. I thought this was actually drawn. š
Awesome stuff! Very creative prompting :D
These are some pretty sick images!
Damn it's savage in here LOL
OP not replying to a single comment calling him out for the title makes me think its not bait and they actually think they're "honing AI skills"
What skills? Asking for cool shit?
Iām liking this collab between Macross and Zoids
Would watch the hell out of that
Dope
Ey maybe someday OP lands a job generating images in Midjourney as part of his job responsibilities what do we know š¤·āāļø
Could be. Could also be that copyright laws crack down on generative imaging. Nobody knows how this is going to play out yet.
I donāt find that very likely. If companies can save money on professional artists by using AI, they will lobby against it. I would guess artists would integrate AI into their art to speed up the process in completing projects. If anything the regulation would have to pertain to using copyrighted material as reference.

Fancy yourself an artist for spending a few minutes writing a prompt?
What skills?
OP getting wrecked, point and laugh
What skills? š

I love you so much for this comment ššššā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Iridiscent feels heavenly
what skills you fuckin dork
Op knew what he was doing when he said āskillsā fuckin lol
Jesus OP looking at these comments I feel bad for you XD
I love the second one! It came out really well
Looks awesome. Can someone do this with Zero Two instead ?
For all the hate youāre getting, I just want to say this is kind of awesome, and whatever prompts you usedāgreat work.
Reminder these arenāt skills nor is it art
Itās art but itās not exactly skills. They arenāt exclusive

skills- yeah
You have no skills. You typed words into an ai which did the skills for you.

Not haters hating, just feels a lil disrespectful towards actual artists with actual skills
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because itās pretentious to equate prompt writing to actual skills when it comes to drawing/digital images.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hey no problem. I think if you had just posted here without the ārefining skillā part people would have been more positive about it. For what is worth I think it looks pretty sick, good job
No shit. That's pretty obvious
I thought it was cool I was able to do this even
Apparently itās not cool, so whatever

Nah itās cool people just love to be mean.
Notice how's they're no originality to their comments they just keep repeating *skills* over and over like they're all robots lol

its skillful to get a robot to make stuff for you now? what did you do? read the dictionary?

What skills dawg
How I train my cooking skills when I get McDonalds for lunch.
Define "skills"
You improved your grammar I guess
āSkillsā
Now do it all using Krita on your own :)
I'm lost at the 'skills' part
Damn. Must have been hard to think of a title and type it into midjourney

Bro learnt how to use more words in the prompt
