You’ve probably typed something like “astronaut floating in space” into your favorite AI art tool a dozen times—and gotten a dozen variations of the same silver-suited space guy in a starry void. But what if you could use that same idea and completely transform the style of the output?

Welcome to Midjourney Video V1.

Meet Velvet Sundown, the world’s first AI-generated band that just dropped its debut album, and somehow, it slaps.

Let’s face it: most AI-generated images still scream "fake news" at first glance. Off lighting. Smudged textures. Vibes over clarity. And don’t get us started on the ones that look like something out of Area 51.

Did you know that simply adding "shot with a [insert film camera]" to your AI art prompt can totally change the look and feel of your image?

If you’ve ever tried generating AI art in London and thought, “Wait, why does this look like Brooklyn?” — you’re not alone.

From painting and photography to motion design and now AI filmmaking, Stéphane’s creative journey is a masterclass in evolution. What started as casual experimentation with early AI art tools quickly became a full-fledged artistic pursuit—one that merges cutting-edge tech with timeless storytelling instincts. In this interview, Stéphane shares how he got started with AI, how he refined his prompting style, and why filmmaking continues to be his ultimate creative playground.

We’ve played around with basic prompts like "an astronaut drinking bubble tea on Mars" — but what happens when you’re ready to level up and unlock next-level control over your visuals in Midjourney? Version 7 introduces some seriously powerful parameters, and I’m breaking them all down here in the nerdiest, most useful way possible.

And yes, I’m sticking with my trusty astronaut theme so you can see the differences clearly. ✨🧑‍🚀

So, you've nailed the basics of prompting. You've made some pretty sweet space explorers and dreamy astronaut scenes. But now you're ready for liftoff into more advanced territory. Whether you’re aiming for cinematic lighting, multiple subject variations, or true prompt sorcery—these tips will push your MidJourney art into a whole new galaxy.

So, you finally got into Midjourney. However, you prompted “dog astronaut” and all you got back is a hot dog trapped in a lava lamp. Welcome to the club.

I first connected with Sabina through her AI artwork—bold, inventive, and full of personality. What stood out even more was her enthusiasm for learning and sharing her process with others. She’s not just experimenting with AI art; she’s actively helping shape the conversation around it. I asked her to share more about how she got started, where she draws inspiration, and where she sees this ever-evolving medium taking her next.

When I first came across Mohamad’s work, I was struck by how seamlessly he blends classical inspiration with futuristic concepts. As someone who’s deeply immersed in AI art myself, I’m always curious about how other artists get started and refine their approach. So I sat down with Mohamad to learn more about his creative journey—how he went from casually exploring AI tools to building deeply intentional, emotionally rich visual narratives.

Let’s be honest: AI image generation used to be a little… cursed. Sure, it was fun. You’d type in something like “astronaut walking on the moon in the style of Van Gogh,” and then hold your breath while the machine spit out a blurry nightmare with seven fingers and no soul. But now? DALL·E 3 entered the chat like, “Alright, I’ve had 150,000 shots of espresso. Let’s rally!!”

Meet Joshua, a passionate creator at the intersection of art and technology. With a background in digital art and a deep curiosity for all things AI, he’s been experimenting with tools and platforms that push creative boundaries. From building GPTs and sticker shops to diving into AI music and video production, Joshua is carving out his own path in the world of generative art. 2.0 AI generators to exploring themes of artificial consciousness, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, this journey into AI art is more than just generating images—it’s about shaping an ever-evolving creative process.

We’ve all done it. You type in a simple AI prompt like “Sea turtle in the water” and hit generate, expecting something majestic. Instead, you get a weird, blurry turtle that looks like it was assembled by a committee of confused algorithms. Meanwhile, some AI wizard out there is crafting prompts so detailed that their sea turtle looks like it belongs in an underwater sci-fi movie poster. What’s their secret? Better prompting.

Artificial intelligence is shaking up the creative world, generating stunning artwork, music, and even written content at the click of a button. But as AI-generated works flood the internet, a major legal question looms: Who actually owns AI-generated content, and can you profit from it?

For many, AI is just a tool—but for artists like Crypto_$_Crazy, it’s a collaborative force, amplifying creative visions in ways never before possible. From experimenting with Web 2.0 AI generators to exploring themes of artificial consciousness, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, this journey into AI art is more than just generating images—it’s about shaping an ever-evolving creative process.

Some artists dive into AI with open arms, but for Karissa, the journey started with a bit of resistance. A hands-on, problem-solving mindset made her hesitant to let AI step in—until curiosity took over.

Do you love AI generated images and also have someone you kinda sorta hate (or maybe a hot lover with an amazing sense of humor)? Send them a passive aggressive Valentine!
