As a fantasy writer, I’m always on the lookout for new great fantasy and sci-fi art, preferably the non-expensive kinds. Maybe you read my recent article about how to use the great Midjourney AI? You should.
To generate AI art you just type in a description and the AI does the rest. Like this…
“Robot hand drawing a robot hand.”
Image by DALL·E 2.
“Pikachu wearing a cape”
As created with DALL·E 2.
You’d like to try it?
OK, I’ll show you how to sign up for the DALL·E 2 beta. They’ll let in 1 million users over the coming weeks! Also, I’ll show you how you can try the Midjourney AI today (it’s awesome and will be updated soon to an even better version.)
But first, a few examples of the stuff others and I create with Midjourney…

Understanding AI

What about AIs that do text to video?
There are AIs that do text-to-video and some use the image AIs to stitch together animations.

(subscribe to Matt’s channel, it’s fun.)
Rather rudimentary for sure, but I have no doubt that eventually, we’ll get a genuine text-to-cinema-movie AI.
