DALLE-3 vs. Midjourney - SOON!
OpenAI, ever the prodigious child, has announced its third iteration of the DALL-E platform. This visual art platform takes your text prompts and turns them into pictures, now with the added nuance of ChatGPT's involvement. Safety measures have also been enhanced to avoid creating anything "untoward." On the other hand, Midjourney lumbers along with less flash but certain merits of its own.
Head-to-Head: DALL-E 3 vs. Midjourney
Onboarding
DALL-E 3: Integrated with ChatGPT and available via Bing, so any plebeian can use it.
Midjourney: A Discord-bound hermit, but a standalone website is under construction.
Default Resolution
DALL-E 3: Offers a lofty 1729 x 1024.
Midjourney: A modest 1024 x 1024, but dreams of upscaling to 2048 x 2048.
Text Generation
DALL-E 3: Does make the attempt, albeit not flawlessly.
Midjourney: Currently lacks this ability, though v6 promises to rectify this glaring oversight.
Seeds
Both: Offer the option, but neither could be accused of perfection.
Initial Images
Both: Produce four, although future Midjourney versions may explore larger grids, ever so ambitious.
Image Modifications
DALL-E 3: A resounding no, you'll take what you're given and like it.
Midjourney: Allows for some adjustments, ever the people pleaser.
Userbase
DALL-E 3: A bustling metropolis of 100 million.
Midjourney: A cozy hamlet of 16 million.
Public Figures
DALL-E 3: Avoids this like the plague for ethical reasons.
Midjourney: Will oblige, within limits.
Style Limitations
DALL-E 3: Restricted, lest we offend the living artists among us.
Midjourney: Generally more laissez-faire, although with some sensible caveats.
API & Cost
DALL-E 3: Available soon, with an elusive price point.
Midjourney: API absent and a starting cost of $10 per month.
Advanced Features
DALL-E 3: Rather barren, one might say.
Midjourney: Showcases blending and image prompting, among other small wonders.
Conclusion
DALL-E 3 emerges as a technical titan with enhanced features and user-friendliness, despite some limitations in artistic freedom. Midjourney, though less glamorous, offers customization and a more democratic approach to AI-generated art. But Midjourney’s realism will be tough to master.
Both have room for improvement and one's choice largely depends on one's tolerance for complexity or the need for a personalized touch.
There you have it. A blog post worthy of the two Goliaths in question. Let's hope it serves you better than a solar-powered flashlight.
