That's what I thought! I guess now I know why he's so great at presentations at work
I've told a few people about this and no one seems to grasp just how improbable this is.
Yeah, except for here, the general response I've also gotten is kind of a bland "oh, neat."
I guess I need to soil my mouth and say "It's like finding out that Logan Paul works for you, because you've never seen his videos before."
I guess the closest thing I can think of that's happened to me before is my most recent wife and I used to hang out in the same circles and had the same friends at school, but we never ended up in the same classes (different grade) or at the same parties, so we never met until I was in my 20s--and then we found out that we had all the same friends. heh.
But even that's not even close, because at least we had the commonality of the same school to bring the probabilities together.
If it was just that you had stumbled on the video on your own that would be weird enough but it's that I as an independent 3rd party, picked that tutorial out of all available ones and presented it to you that makes it truly mind-boggling for me.
Here come the lawyers!

We will see if it holds up against the "transformative" part.

While I've had fun poking around with midjourney, there have been a few times where things like an incomprehensible signature was generated onto an image I was attempting to make because enough of the source images it had pulled from had one so it felt like it should be there. That's always leaned toward more than a bit skeevy to me.
Also, people selling things, be in t-shirts posters or what have you, made from images they created using it and encouraging others to do so was always too much for me.
If the image scraping was done on a volunteer basis where someone signs their work over to be added to the trained AI and only those images are trained off of and used to generate new ones, it'd be a different story. But then you wouldn't have nearly the amount of progression it's had nor it's viral success so quickly because of it. Now this is me assuming a little, much of it's progress forward has been because of the sheer number of images it's likely pulled off the internet, and learned from. If the quantity was lessened it just wouldn't work as well* as it does this quickly.

So, I just said "Gwarsh" to someone (like Disney's Goofy)...then I got to thinking, "What if that was a portmanteau of "GWAR" and "warsh" (as in, how an old timey southerner might say the word "wash"). this is what Midjourney thought of that idea
There are differing opinions on the internet about that
I would point out that the Internet also has differing opinions about whether the Holocaust actually happened, whether the Earth is round, and even about whether water is wet, etc.There are differing opinions on the internet about that

I would submit that the spelling of a nonsense word uttered by a cartoon character probably doesn't really need to tread so close to Godwin's Law
I've been making a lot of this kind of macabre stuff...I wonder if I could sell it as prints, etc on Etsy.
Making some art of fairies dancing in the forest, when their faces start coming out a bit...skewed.
No problem, says I. I can clean that up. Sure thing.
Oh, I think she noticed me. That's...problematic.
Oh lawd, she comin'.
True story: Discord wouldn't ever show these messages as "complete" from MidJourney, so I couldn't delete them out of my chat room.
So I closed down Discord and restarted it. All the messages are gone....weeeeiiiird. But I was gonna delete them anyway.

I made these with Midjourney, though they took a lot of cleanup to fix fingers, etc.
I've definitely been focusing more on 'cute' these days
This one took marrying a couple images together, since AI is absolutely terrible about making any kind of flute or other long, straight instrument. I probably spent 3 hours in photoshop post-processing to get this one, but I am pretty happy with it.
These haven't had any post-render cleanup yet, but they will before I use them. St. Patrick's day, how it starts vs how it ends.
The 2nd pic has a lot of cleanup required...lot of weird AI rendering around the bottles, especially. But I am kind of proud that I was able to make 2 separate renderings that could ostensibly be the same girl.

So, I've been spending a lot of time making digital art. So much so, I ran out of monthly usage halfway through February and had to upgrade. I've been posting it on a FB Page devoted to that purpose...when I think something's especially cool I share it elsewhere.
Anyway, I made this guy and posted to the gallery. A guy I've met at a few Irish music events (Catskills, O'Flaherty's etc) saw it and asked if they could use it for their band
Not sure what he's going to use it for, but it makes me feel all accomplished or something.
Well, if you're looking for a project...

Making some mermaids for my grand-daughter, because she likes mermaids. But "more realistic and not that disney shit" at the request of my ex-wife.
She also likes elephants.
Me: Hey MidJourney--make me an elephant, with a golden crown, sitting on a throne.
Midjourney: I think what I heard was that you wanted a picture of Satan
Wtf?
