    What are peoples' thoughts on the limitations of these apps? After using Midjourney for a few months, it seems like the greatest shortcoming is the lack of uniqueness. No matter how original your prompt is, it gravitates towards rendering similar looking characters and objects.

    • This means you might get very impressive looking results, but it's undermined as you realize the subject in your image is similar to those in other images.yuekit
    • v5 focused on 'aesthetics' and they used user feedback for the weights. it feels a bit narrow inside each style atm.uan
    • I try to make the drawings look as wonky as possible, so not as polished. But I do find certain styles produce the same faces.PhanLo
    • One thing I like with the new release is the outpainting functionality -- if you just pan right or left it often comes up with something totally bizarre.yuekit
    • I hope in some future versions, you'll be able to change parts of the image by prompts. 'turn the head to the left' 'make the nose longer' aso.uan
    • opening up full artistic control to the user.uan
    • Actually they just added inpainting as well so you can change specific parts of the image.yuekit
    • But it does still feel a bit like firing a high-powered weapon using a broken video game controller. Hopefully in the future it won't all be done via Discord.yuekit
