Imagine you want a really beautiful avatar picture for social media. You think, “Hey, I\u2019ll just use an AI art generator, and it will make me look like a supermodel!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might wanna slow your roll there, Picasso. Your avatar could end up having one eye and nine fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last year, AI image generators have become all the rage in digital content creation. If you\u2019re here, you\u2019re probably curious and want to learn more. This article will show you how to use AI art generators most effectively for your podcast. I\u2019ll begin by walking you through Midjourney. Then, we\u2019ll look at how to use prompts to generate useful images. Finally, we\u2019ll look at some of the limitations of these tools and how to combine them with human tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midjourney: An Accessible Example of AI Art Generators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Midjourney<\/a> is one of the most accessible AI art generators, setting standards for many other apps. Like DALL-E or Stable Diffusion, Midjourney is a program that generates images based on text descriptions. None of these AI podcasting tools that make art are identical, but they work similarly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midjourney Founder David Holz says it’s intended for professional artists to quickly make prototypes for clients<\/a> before making a complete product. In other words, it\u2019s meant to be the \u201cmid-journey\u201d stage between the client\u2019s idea and the designer\u2019s final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Midjourney Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Midjourney is available via a Discord server. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but Discord is similar to most chatrooms or Slack. If you’ve ever used Internet Relay Chat, Discord will look familiar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you enter the command “\/imagine,” followed by a text description of what you want the art to look like. The AI generates an image based on that description. How closely that image matches what you had in mind depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
