Midjourney

MID-jur-nee /ˈmɪdˌdʒɜːni/

An AI research lab known for its eponymous generative AI program that outputs images from natural language descriptions (or prompts). Released in 2022, Midjourney quickly set a standard in the field, yet has also sparked controversy (as other text-to-image models like Dall-E or Stable Diffusion have done): for using artists’ work without their consent, for making it easy to plagiarise, and even for its role in winning digital art and photography prizes.
