Hey people, it's been a while since I've posted on here, which means my 3rd gen has been running without any issues...no news it definitely good news!
With that said, I just wanted to share something I've recently discovered and is a lot of fun! It's called Midjourney which is essentially an online tool used to generate art using artificial intelligence.
You basically describe what it should generate (more detailed you are the better) and it instantly spits out 4 images that you can either upscale or make variations of...the possibilities are literally endless.
It didn't take too long before I thought we could use this to create our own concept version of what a future gen 4Runner could look like. You can mix a 4Runner with a Supra for example and it will do it. You can give it any color, make it mad max style with gun turrets, make it cartoonish or realistic, anything you want it'll do...some unexpected, some jaw dropping, some unreal, and basically anything in between.
I linked to the very 1st time I used this tool without even knowing all the intricacies so the results are very amateurish but with the right set of commands and description, it can do some amazing concept art.
First 25 images you generate are free and the basic plan is $10 a month which gives you 200 minutes of GPU time used to pump out the images. In 24 hours, I've already used up half that allotment trying all kinds of crazy things, there is a member gallery where you see what others have created.
AI has definitely come a long way and it's now getting to the point where it's able to create art that's literally breathtaking.
Anyway, just wanted to share. Hope this post finds you well!
