Midjourney's enthralling AI art generator goes live for everyone

One of the more evocative platforms for AI art, Midjourney, has now opened to everyone in beta mode. This is the second time that the platform has opened to all as a beta. On July 18, the platform opened up for 24 hours. In an email sent out to Midjourney beta testers on Tuesday, however, founder David Holz wrote that the "Midjourney beta is now open to everyone." Midjourney is one of the more interesting entrants in the small but growing field of AI art, which takes user-generated queries, runs them through an AI algorithm, and lets the algorithm pull from its source images and apply various artistic techniques to the resulting image.
