Which one is better, midjourney or stable diffusion? Currently, there are two mainstream intelligent software in the AI painting industry, one is Midjourney and the other is Stable Diffusion. Which software is better to use? Let’s take a look!
1. Midjourney
It is a tool set up under Discord. Recently, due to the excessive power of Chinese netizens, the original 25 free drawings of Midjourney have been temporarily cancelled, and now you need to pay to use it. The operation of MJ is very simple, the cost of entry is almost zero, and the picture output is also very colorful.
But it also has the following shortcomings:
First, recharge money.
2. There are restrictions on the content. For example, violence and color content cannot appear.
Third, its drawings are highly random. Personally, I think that although its speed and quality are very high, its uncontrollability still has a lot of room for improvement.
Finally, the membership fee charged by Midjourney is still a bit high. The minimum monthly fee is US$10, which is approximately RMB 60.
The first advantage is that it is free and open source, which means that everyone can participate in software development. Its progress will be very fast, and it is free. As the name suggests, you can use it without paying any money.
The second advantage is that it can be installed locally and used without the need for an Internet connection. This is very friendly to companies that have requirements for image confidentiality and avoid leaking the company's business secrets.
Third, it can install various plug-ins. As the name suggests, it is even more powerful, such as the recent controlnet plug-in.
The fourth point is that the content is unlimited. I will not discuss this point. This is something that MJ does not have.
The fifth point is that SD has very high requirements for computer configuration, and the learning cost also scares many people. Therefore, if the computer configuration is not enough, change the computer to install it. If you need to design very large batches of AI paintings and have very low cost requirements, then it is recommended to try SD. The only troublesome thing is that the operation is not as easy as MJ to get started.
