Holz, founder of AI art service Midjourney, on future images

Interview In 2008, David Holz co-founded a hardware peripheral firm called Leap Motion. He ran it until last year when he left to create Midjourey. Midjourney in its present form is a social network for creating AI-generated art from a text prompt – type a word or phrase at the input prompt and you'll receive an interesting or perhaps wonderful image on screen after about a minute of computation. It's similar in some respects to OpenAI's DALL-E 2. Midjourney image of the sky and clouds, using the text prompt "All this useless beauty." Both are the result of large AI models trained on vast numbers of images. But Midjourney has its own distinctive style, as can be seen from this Twitter thread.
