I thought the same when I got midjourney last week for $30/month... and here I am loving it. Wife and I use it all the time. I can see myself picking this one up as well and probably dropping Netflix finally.

I'm really really curious how you use midjourney on a daily basis... I can see playing with it for novelty value, but after that... what?

I'm sure it's a failure of imagination on my part, but when you say you might drop Netflix in favor of using the ai generator tools, my interest is piqued! What's your average play session like?

It's largely because I DM d&d. During our game last week, the party bought a carriage and some horses. So I generated art of it on the fly. They then encountered a zombie orc. art on the fly. Then I use it inbetween sessions to generate NPC art. I've been using SD since it launched and they each have the pros and cons. But recently ive been using the midjourney /blend feature to combine diecut sticker like art with npc art to get really cool videogamesque stuff.

I probably spend 1-3hrs a day generating stuff, trying out different models, fine-tuning models, etc. Its especially great to do on the iPad in the evenings while I am watching my shows.

I Midjourney to generate art for a stupid game I made: https://cards-seven-ebon.vercel.app/

I made it to level 9 :)

I was clicking so fast that I lost count of whether my previous click was the first or the second card flipped. I think it would play better if you only needed to get two consecutive ones right, rather than resetting after two guesses.

Midjourney has kind of replaced Pinterest (and, honestly, some forms of reading) for me. I use it daily to generate concept art for whatever writing projects I'm working on, which keeps me inspired and working, even if the generated images never see the light of day.

For me, I was playing with Stable Diffusion for a long time. I just liked generating the art and looking at it. I think it's about as enjoyable as netflix, more-or-less.

I have always been interested in treasure hunts, and I think SD kinda ticks that box for me. It's like thrift stores, which I also enjoy: mostly junk, but sometimes you discover something great.
