My Midjourney Attachment

I first started using Midjourney in the summer of 2022, right when it launched. At the time, it wasn’t all that impressive, but every few months, they would push an update, and I started to see its potential. The tech was cool, but it still felt a bit gimmicky. Still, I kept playing around with it just to see how it evolved—and at some point, I decided to sign up for a paid subscription.

As the product improved and started generating images that actually matched my prompts, I found myself using it almost every day to explore ideas. It didn’t take long before I found practical uses for it, like creating cover art for music albums.

I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but at some point, creating images in Midjourney just became part of my daily routine. And if I’m being honest, I’ve gotten pretty attached to it. I don’t always do much with the images I create, but there’s something really therapeutic about visualizing ideas in seconds and bringing random thoughts to life. It’s a great feeling to type something like “abstract time-space continuum” and instantly get a few wild interpretations.

I don’t think AI should replace traditional art, but I also don’t see why we wouldn’t use it to explore concepts and spark new ideas.

At the end of the day, I’m not taking AI image generation too seriously—I’m just having fun with it. Here are some of my favorite generations from 2024.
