Midjourney
The gold standard for stunning, artistic AI image generation
Midjourney produces some of the most visually cohesive and aesthetically refined AI-generated images available, particularly excelling at painterly, editorial, and concept art styles. Operating through Discord, it rewards detailed stylistic prompts with output quality that regularly surpasses competing models for commercial and artistic use cases. Its v6 model dramatically improved photorealism and text rendering.

Prompt tips for Midjourney
Append '--style raw' to reduce Midjourney's aesthetic opinionation and produce more neutral, literal interpretations
Use double colons with weights like 'forest::2 castle::1' to control how much emphasis each element gets
Reference a specific artist or photographer style (e.g., 'in the style of Gregory Crewdson') to achieve consistent lighting and mood
Use '--ar 16:9' for widescreen and '--ar 9:16' for social media vertical formats to avoid post-crop composition issues
