Ridiculous. Stable diffusion might have a massive ecosystem around it but mid journey is making money hand over fist. Most people don't even necessarily have a discreet GPU necessary to be able to run SD, and the vast majority of artists that I know are using midjourney and then doing touchups afterwards.

Even with all the different models that you can load in stable diffusion MJ is 1000 times better at natural language parsing and understanding, and requires significantly less prompt crafting to be able to get aesthetically pleasing results.

Having used automatic1111 heavily with an RTX 2070, the only area I'll concede SD can do a better job is in closeup Headshots and character generation. MJ blows SD out of the water where complex prompts involving nuanced actions are concerned.

How is MJ making any money? Do they charge? When I went on their discord it was free.

Yeah, but what does one do with an infinite supply of ok-ish images?

depending on what you want, you can actually get images that are pretty nice. i'm using it to generate abstract art and i've seen worse in the real world

here are two examples on my insta account:
