hey everyone and welcome to filter Grid
0:02
in this video we'll be creating AI art
0:04
in mid-journey and walking you through
0:06
the process of signing up getting
0:08
prepared and then actually creating the
0:11
mid-journey Works entirely through
0:13
Discord for those that don't know
0:14
Discord is a Communications tool in the
0:17
same vein as slack or teams it's an app
0:19
commonly associated with gaming but
0:22
plenty of businesses and other interest
0:23
groups use Discord to chat and form a
0:27
Discord is free and easy to use and you
0:29
don't need to talk to any other humans
0:32
so once you've registered for Discord
0:34
you can go to the mid-journey website
0:36
and click on join the beta this will
0:38
give you an invitation to join the
0:39
mid-journey Discord server make sure you
0:42
sign in with your Discord account that
0:43
you created and that you don't
0:45
accidentally make a new one
0:48
you join the Discord server you'll need
0:49
to find and enter one of the newcomer
0:52
rooms enter any of the channels in this
0:54
category by just clicking on the name
0:56
you'll now be able to send prompts or
0:58
you can type slash help to get a list of
1:00
tips on how to use the tool when you're
1:02
ready to generate an image type slash
1:04
imagine in the chat box this will then
1:07
create a prompt field where you can type
1:09
your image description
1:10
as a free user you will only get 25
1:13
image Generations or actions so you'll
1:15
want to be as descriptive as possible
1:17
with your prompt use precise language
1:19
about content style colors actions and
1:22
anything else that you can think of to
1:23
include the more detailed the better
1:26
when you're done press enter to send
1:29
in mind that other users are present in
1:31
these channels and can see your username
1:33
so don't generate anything you'd be too
1:36
this does mean however that you can see
1:38
what other people are generating once
1:40
you submit your prompt mid-journey will
1:42
take about a minute to think about and
1:43
generate your images it will then
1:45
deliver four different interpretations
1:49
the message will include several
1:52
possible buttons to react with which
1:54
will tell the AI what action to take
1:55
next if any each image is labeled one
1:58
through four and has a corresponding u
2:00
and v button the U button will upscale
2:04
The Chosen image into a larger and
2:05
higher quality version The V button will
2:08
create a new image that is another
2:09
iteration of the image you chose you can
2:12
also select the refresh button to
2:13
generate a new set of images based on
2:16
just remember that all of these
2:18
responses will use up your free prompts
2:20
if you choose to upscale an image you
2:22
can choose from a variety of additional
2:24
options you can generate additional
2:26
variations upscale to maximum size or
2:30
you will also see a range of emojis
2:32
which lets you rate images that you like
2:35
you can add these rankings to your own
2:37
images or the ones that others have
2:40
finally you can use the envelope Emoji
2:42
to react to the image and send it to
2:45
yourself in a private message to
2:51
from there you can download the image
2:53
and use it wherever you like by clicking
2:55
on the image then right clicking and
2:58
you can also view the image and download
3:00
it on the mid Journey website in your
3:03
there are a few things to consider when
3:04
using mid-journey to generate AI images
3:06
while there are filters in place that
3:09
prevent prohibited content from being
3:10
generated you are not allowed to use the
3:12
AI tool to generate images of content
3:14
like Gore or adult images or content
3:17
that could be harmful or inflammatory to
3:20
and while you do get 25 free actions
3:22
it's more based on time than specific
3:25
actions and 25 is an estimate to get an
3:28
exact update of how much trial time you
3:29
have left you can use the slash info
3:32
if you'd like to subscribe you can type
3:34
slash subscribe and receive a
3:36
personalized link which in the mid
3:37
Journey account page mid-journey has
3:40
several paid plans that currently cost
3:41
between ten dollars and sixty dollars
3:43
per month depending on what quantity and
3:45
quality of images you need to generate
3:48
the mid-journey bot works all across all
3:50
of Discord so if you are in another
3:51
server that the mid-journey bought has
3:53
been invited to you can use it in that
3:55
server so if you're not comfortable
3:56
using it in a place where others could
3:58
see your prompts you can create your own
4:00
Discord server or start a server with a
4:01
few friends and use the bot there just
4:04
keep in mind that you'll need a paid
4:06
you can also use the slash imagine
4:08
command while directly messaging the mid
4:09
Journey button but again keep in mind
4:11
the content and moderation rules still
4:13
apply even if you're generating images
4:15
within a private Channel
4:16
use the bot commands in a direct message
4:18
you will need to subscribe to a paid
4:22
and that is how to use mid-journey it's
4:24
surprisingly easy to get started despite
4:26
requiring a Discord account and the
4:28
Discord app to access it but after just
4:30
a little bit of setup you can be on your
4:32
way to creating AI art getting inspired
4:34
by what others are creating and learning
4:36
how best to direct the AI tool to create
4:38
the images you want if you want more AI
