#midjourney needs a soul

Recently, I used #midjourney and #chatgpt to create a kid's storybook about a baby dragon. I have discovered that there are limitations to the software. With that, I had an epiphany of sorts.

With Midjourney, the most glaring issue was maintaining creative continuity from one frame to the next. Sure, I "imagined" a #prompt that I felt would capture what was in my mind's eye. I even used the same link of the previous dragon image to inform the new subsequent artwork. The results varied tremendously.

Additionally, ChatGPT struggled to deliver a compelling story about my dragon. Memes? No problem. But when I asked it to come up with something that would resonate with 6-year-olds. It felt more like Spock than Bones...if you catch my drift. A machine was computing emotions. If a machine could feel is another story altogether!

What has occurred to me throughout my #AI learnings is that software fails to identify and fill the gaps that we as humans do. Talent and our pursuit of perfectionism are where we, as creators, will fill in the wide spaces to make work "great".
