💥 Midjourney AI and Social Media
Plus: Twitter Doge, Angel Reese
Hi everyone!
We’re so close to 2500 dope subscribers tuning into the newsletter.
Multiple thousands of thanks to ya’ll around the world!
We’re going to dive into Midjourney today and find out why this AI app is changing the Social Media game.
Let’s get to it.
🎨 Journeying with Midjourney
Abstract ballroom - Midjourney
Midjourney has been a hot topic in social media, for a good reason.
It’s probably the best image generative AI tool to come out of this whole AI big bang.
I mean, must be pretty good if it won a fine arts competition and sparked a global debate right? 🤷🏻♂️
TL;DR — Someone entered an art competition with an AI-generated piece and won the first prize.
Yeah that's pretty fucking shitty.

What really cemented the future of Midjourney was when they released its v5 model a month ago, improving on its realism and fixing ‘hands’
What do we do when AI generated images look so real that it becomes impossible to tell the difference?
It might happen sooner than you think, given the speed of innovation in AI the past couple of months.
@rpnickson We’ve officially entered the era of AI propaganda. With the release of Midjourney v5, it’s become almost impossible to tell what’s real vs... See more
You’re not alone if you’ve seen this picture of the pope circulating around 🤣
Were you fooled by these AI-generated images of Pope Francis looking stylish in a puffer jacket? And should what some are calling “the first real mass-level AI misinformation case” be a cause for concern?

So how can we profit from Midjourney ourselves? Here’s a couple of use cases that I’m seeing in the wild 👇
1/ Create graphics for creatives, ads, posts, you name it
Our favourite social media guy Matt Navara is using it for his newsletter thumbnails (I’m gonna steal this idea from him)
2/ Be a prompt engineer?
Prompting (the process of providing text to generate) is an art of its own. Makes sence when the final product is entirely dependent on the prompt.
Prompt ‘influencers’ are popping off left and right, sharing what it takes to generate the best images on the market currently.
Another fun and easy prompt keyword to produce beautiful Midjourney images:
"Luminogram"
I used the same prompt for 7 colorful images in this thread. I'll show you how I did it:

The Moodboard feature in the Midjourney Alpha is powerful. The prompt for this was "A man standing by a horse".
Moodboard lets you reference an entire collection of images in your prompt. For this, I put a bunch of my Gucci images into a collection & added it as a moodboard.

3/ Talk about it on social media
AI is hot topic right now, and influencers are cashing in on the hype.
Here are couple of my favourite 👇

@rpnickson Is AI art real art? Let me know your thoughts below. #art #artificialintelligence #ai #aiart #artist
Are you sold on the hype of Midjourney, or scared of its implications?
To be honest, I’m on both sides.
Meanwhile… I’m going to fully take advantage of its features and save me time in content creation 😋

Angel Reese goes viral for her hand gestures at the championship game 🏀, causing a national debate
Angel Reese
When a white woman from Iowa, Caitlin Clark taunts the other team during a game it’s “funny” and “part of competition”.
When a black woman from Louisiana, Angel Reese, decides to do it back, she’s “not showing sportsmanship” and “disgusting”.
