Six months ago (November 2022) I published a post with AI artwork generated by Midjourney depicting scenes from the bible. Those images were generated with the 3rd version of Midjourney and while those were impressive, I went back and generated similar images with the latest iteration, version 5. The fidelity of these images blows away what was generated just half a year ago.

The rate of advancement of this technology is stunning. These are just a few of the about 200 images I’ve generated with this 5th version over the last month as I’ve been experimenting with the tool. There is a vast amount of variation within generated images, which means that each image generated is the result of a “dice roll” effect that produces a one-off effect. Generate more images with the same prompts and you’ll get different results. Some of these are lifelike, and some look like paintings.
