Power Prompt

The "One-Two Punch" Technique

Streamline your prompts for maximum clarity and impact. This week's technique, the One-Two Punch, is about asking the right questions in the right order. Think of it like setting up your AI tool for success with two quick hits.

1. "Summarize the key trends from this article."

2. "Now, provide three actionable steps based on these trends."

By splitting your prompt into two concise questions, you avoid overloading the AI and get more focused, actionable results.

Fresh off the Mat

  1. MidJourney Releases New Filters: These tools help artists fine-tune details like lighting, textures, and style consistency. Now it’s easier than ever to create gallery-worthy digital pieces.

  2. AI Art in Commercial Design: More companies are using AI-generated art in ad campaigns and packaging. Is this the future of graphic design?

  3. ArtStation vs. AI: The art community debates the use of AI in traditional art spaces—what does this mean for artists and creatives?

Stay tuned, as these developments continue to shift the balance in the creative world.

Training Ground

In this week’s matchup, we’re comparing two titans of AI art: DALL-E 3 and MidJourney. Both tools are powerful in their own right, but which one offers the best balance of creativity, functionality, and price?

  • DALL-E 3:

    • Strengths: Known for its photorealistic images and precise responses to specific prompts. If you’re looking for detailed and accurate visuals, DALL-E 3 excels in creating lifelike art from your ideas.

    • Price: Free to use within ChatGPT Plus (which costs $20/month) with GPT-4 access. Pricing for API usage varies based on tokens used for generation.

  • MidJourney:

    • Strengths: Famed for its artistic flair and dreamlike, conceptual styles. It’s the go-to choice for those wanting to create surreal, painterly works or experiment with highly creative visuals.

    • Price: $10/month (basic plan) for 200 image generations, $30/month for unlimited personal use.

The Verdict: If you need photorealistic precision or want access to both a language model and image generation (via GPT-4), DALL-E 3 within ChatGPT Plus is a solid option. However, for those focused purely on creative, artistic expression, MidJourney's style and flexibility might be worth the extra investment, especially with its unlimited plan.

Wisdom from Mr. ??? I need a name…

I want to do something like Mr. MiyAIge, but I’m sure that would be copyright infringement, and I am not about that life.

"Productivity isn't about speed, it's about flow."
