I couldn’t help myself, I had to hop on the bandwagon and try out this new craze. Midjourney is an AI bot which creates images based on prompts given by the user.

These unique images took about 2 minutes to make. It reduces days of concept planning and image creation into two whole minutes! Now, there are flaws of course; I’ve no idea how this algorithm works, nor what the dataset of images given to the AI contain, these are both decided by the developer. But certainly very interesting to see what it produces. Is this the end of architect optioneering? Will this mean those working in the creative arts merely need to tap into a computer to make detailed works… who knows, I don’t. Let’s hope I still have some to value to add in 10 years time. Maybe we’ll all become curators instead of creators?
