With the meteoric rise of AI image generators like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E 2 over the past year, excitement and speculation are growing about what the next iterations of these systems might bring. Midjourney in particular has captured public intrigue not just for its breathtaking artwork, but also with its quirky, conversational nature.
Midjourney’s current v6 iteration mainly focused on improving image quality, style handling, and expanding the variety of possible outputs. But fans are already looking ahead to what Midjourney v7 could introduce when it eventually launches. Here are some key capabilities we may see.
More Realistic and Detailed Images
Continued improvements to image quality seem inevitable. With more training data and advances in deep learning techniques, v7 outputs could feature finer details, more realistic lighting and textures, better coherence between elements, and fewer visual flaws than current generations. This could allow Midjourney to better depicts faces, mechanical objects, natural phenomena, and intricate scenes.
Enhanced Speech and Language Understanding
One of Midjourney’s charms is the conversational tone when generating images from text prompts. Version 7 of Midjourney might be able to handle more complex speech, respond to follow-up questions and clarifications, and better translate nuanced or contextual language into visual concepts. This could make communicating ideas to Midjourney even more intuitive and vivid.
Wider Domain Knowledge and Contextual Awareness
By training on more data spanning different knowledge domains, Midjourney may gain more real-world common sense, factual understanding, and semantic reasoning ability in v7. This could lead to outputs that better demonstrate conceptual connections between elements rather than just visual relationships. And it could allow Midjourney to identify and correct improbable or impossible combinations of prompt elements on its own.
Generative 3D Modeling and Animation
So far AI image generators have focused mainly on 2D outputs. But future versions could expand into creating 3D models, scenes, and animations from text descriptions. Midjourney v7 may take steps in this direction with primitive 3D effects, shapes, or layers. Down the road, users may be rendering elaborate 3D worlds straight from their imaginations!
Conclusion
While it’s impossible to predict exactly what groundbreaking features Midjourney’s developers have in store for v7 and beyond, it’s sure to push creative and conversational AI even further into unprecedented territory. We’ll have to wait and see what emerges!
