The combination of art and technology contains challenges that focus Midjourney
Midjourney V6 recently received a powerful update that includes both a new performance turbo and an improved image description function .
The turbo enables users to navigate even faster and more efficiently through the virtual world of Midjourney.

The improved image description function should actually serve to refine the visual representation within the tool and to make it more realistic. However, this innovation causes resentment among artists because it automatically mentions the artist names when imitation of artistic styles.
What is new about Midjourney V6?
The latest version of Midjourney, V6, impresses with its “turbo mode” , which can create pictures even faster, according to a report by The Dekoder . According to the company, this tool is 3.5 times faster than before, but at double costs.
Users can now generate over 40 prompts within just under 2 minutes - this corresponds to an impressive speed of an average of less than 3 seconds per prompt. This reduces the time for the creation of a single image to less than 0.7 seconds, which comes close to the declared goal of Midjourney , real -time generation.
In addition, an improved image analysis function for V6 was introduced, which enables users to create extensive and very detailed prompts that are specially tailored to this version.
With the discord command “/Deskribe” or the Midjourney website, precise descriptions of styles and motifs can be activated that “in the style of the community” .
We'Re testing a new version of /describe today. Basically, show it an image and it'll try to describe it. This New Algorithm is Made to Give Longer, More Detailed Prompts, In The Style of our Community and is specific tuned for our v6 models. Enjoy!
According to Midjourney, these descriptions serve as inspiration for new ideas.
Where is the problem for artists: inside?
The innovation of the description function has led to resentment because it gives names of artists whose creative style resembles the picture. For Justine Bateman, Midjourney are "nothing more than thieves" . With this statement on X, the artist expresses her anger about the controversial practices of the BILD-KI .
Photographer Jingna Zhang reacts indignantly and feels “dehumanizing” that her name has been used more than 20,000 times in prompt at Midjourney. These reactions illustrate the injuries and damage that can cause such actions.

It is crucial to maintain respect for creative work and the awareness of intellectual property and to initiate appropriate measures to secure these values.
What's next?
The Midjourney team has not yet reacted publicly to these allegations. Questions about copyrights , recognition and authenticity of creations remain open.
The manufacturers of the image and text systems are involved in numerous legal disputes. Directional judgments are still pending.

In this magazine section, you will find numerous reports and articles about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in art,design and architecture.
It's not just about the question of how AI can be used in these areas, but also about the impact this has on creative creation.
For while some experts believe that the use of AI will lead to a revolution in art and design, there are also voices from within the industry itself that are skeptical of AI art and AI-powered image generators.
An early example from 2016 of the use of AI in art is the project "The Next Rembrandt". Here, software was developed that created a new painting in the style of the Dutch painter based on data analysis – without human intervention.
The result was surprisingly realistic and clearly demonstrated the potential of this technology even back then.
What does this development mean for traditional crafts? Will they become obsolete or can new opportunities be created?
These questions occupy many people both within and outside the industry alike.
In any case, the connection between art and artificial intelligence offers us exciting insights into possible future scenarios.
