AI Prompting 101

Now you can provide an image to Midjourney and it will describe what it sees with a Prompt!

1. Open Midjourney and type “/describe” while uploading the image.
2. Midjourney responds with 4 descriptions of the image.
3. Select one of the 4 prompts and…
4. You get 4 re-imaginations of the image you uploaded!

Why is this new feature important?

In this way, we immediately get a very extensive description of the image, along with keywords that can help you produce similar content!

This image is one of our first experiments with Midjourney. Regrettably, we didn’t preserve the original prompt, so when we wanted to replicate the concept, we used the “/describe” function to retrieve its essence.

One of the descriptions generated was: a man wearing glasses positioned at the center of a crowd, depicted in the style of Pentax Spotmatic SP, electric dreamscape, 85 New Wave, Lasar Segall, The Blue Rider, Contax G1, and Jeffrey Smart.

The following are the outputs we got from that prompt:

These tests have been assigned to ARC, a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Paul Christiano, who previously worked as a researcher at OpenAI.
