Artificial intelligence or AI is now very popular due to the benefits of several AI tools. Although many people have been working with AI tools in various ways for quite some time. But now there is a big difference. In November 2022, the time-discussed Open AI-owned ‘ChatGPT’ was launched. After this, the number of users of AI tools has increased a lot. Many people have developed great interest in these tools. Initially, AI tools became popular among general users by allowing anyone to use them free of charge. Now, AI tools created for various other tasks are also gradually becoming popular with many people. Initially, ‘ChatGPT’ was just an artificial intelligence chatbot or AI chatbot. It would answer in writing what the user wanted to know. And currently, in ChatGPT version 4, the user can also give instructions with images or pictures of his choice, and can also create websites or video games. However, artificial intelligence is not limited to work like business or healthcare, but has started working to create creative industries by starting a new era of AI technology-controlled industries.
Midjourney for Artistic Images
An AI program named ‘Midjourney’ started its journey in March 2022 and surprised everyone. It can create the desired image or picture according to the natural language given by the user. The invention of Midjourney has opened new doors for the automatic execution of works in films and other creative arts. In simple terms, it is an image generator. It will get the picture as the user describes it. The more detailed the description the user gives, the more beautiful the picture Midjourney will give. This AI creates four pictures according to the description of the user what kind of picture he wants. Out of these, if the user finds the desired picture, he can download it in a large size. Apart from this, if the user does not like any of the pictures being created, there is an opportunity to ‘regenerate’ or create a new one. After its journey started, it gained great popularity. With its help, even the cover of the June 2022 issue of the popular British magazine The Economist was created.Midjourney doesn’t create images like a normal photo. It creates somewhat artistic or illustrator-based images based on the user’s description. David Holz, the founder of the tool, said, “Midjourney is a text-to-image-based AI tool that creates great visual images based on the user’s desired description.”
Dal-E for creating images
Along with ‘ChatGPT’, Open AI has created a tool for creating images according to descriptions ‘Dal-E’. Open AI announced the tool in a blog post in January 2021. The name ‘Dal-E’ is inspired by the popular movie Wall-E made by animation movie maker Pixar Animation Studios. Open AI said that ‘Dal-E’ can be used to create images according to user descriptions, design products and generate new ideas for businesses. Professional artists as well as anyone interested can use these tools. With its easy-to-use interface, anyone can create beautiful images. The new version of the tool has added the facility of getting fast and realistic images, easy product design, creating illustrations, using multiple layers of images as you like, etc. To do the job, the ‘Dal-E’ tools have been trained with about 650 million images.
Both tools have already received a lot of response from users. How to get more perfect realistic images has already been added to the new versions of both tools. Apart from these two tools, some other similar tools include ‘Images AI’, a tool for getting images in less than 10 seconds in an easy way, ‘Stablecog’, a tool for creating realistic images from scratch or from scratch, ‘Nightcafe’, which provides the facility to give ownership of the created movies, ‘Deepdream’, a tool for creating images in different painting styles, etc. In addition, the facility to create images will be available on ‘Shutterstock’, a popular place for submitting images, footage, music, etc.
How it works
Anyone who wants to use the popular Midjourney can use it for free. For this, go to the Midjourney website (midjourney.com) and click on the ‘Join the Beta’ option at the bottom. However, if you want to use the tool, you first have to open an account on a chat-based app called Discord (discord.com). It can be used for free. By launching Discord and going to Midjourney and clicking on the ‘Join the Beta’ option, the user will be connected to the Midjourney server on Discord. Many people are constantly creating their own favorite pictures for free on this server. As a newbie, anyone can first go to the option called ‘Newcomer Room’ and see the pictures created by other users. You can get great ideas by seeing what kind of pictures other users are getting with what kind of descriptions.To create a picture yourself, first write: /Imagine and then give a description. Usually, the description is currently in English. In some time, four pictures will be created according to the description. Among them, there are icons named U2, U3, U4, U5 below the picture. If the user clicks on the four pictures according to his preference, the specific picture will appear in a larger size. If none of them is liked, it can be ‘regenerated’ again under the picture. Apart from this, if the specific picture of choice is more perfect or if he wants to add something, there is an opportunity to regenerate it multiple times. Anyone who wants to can create a picture accordingly from any picture of his choice. However, in this case, he has to subscribe to Midjourney for a certain amount of money. Then the user can create all the pictures of his choice on his personal server.Similarly, to create an image in Dal-e Tools, you first need to create an account from OpenAI Labs (labs.openai.com). Then, when you log in to Dal-e Tools, you will see how many ‘credits’ are available for the user in the account on the right side. The credits will decrease as each image is created. Now, if you describe your favorite image in the box on the site and click ‘Generate’, the desired image will appear. Below this box, there is an opportunity to upload your favorite image, where new images can be created accordingly with the image. If someone wants, they can buy credits for a certain amount of money and can create images as they wish. Users will find all the images they have created in the ‘History’ option.
