Midjourney, a popular AI image generator, is transitioning from Discord to a standalone website, offering a more user-friendly interface for generating images. The alpha version, currently available to select users who have generated over 10,000 images on Midjourney, features sliders instead of codes and inputs, making it easier to remix and manipulate images.
