  • What is the default setting for personalization?

    -Personalization is turned off by default, but users can enable it in their settings or add the personalization code to their prompts manually.

  • How can users test their personalization code?

    -Users can test their personalization code by writing a simple prompt, adding the personalization code, and then comparing the generated images with and without the code.

  • What is the range for the stylized value that controls the strength of personalization?

    -The stylized value, which controls the strength of personalization, ranges from 0 to 1,000, with the default being 100.

  • How does the aspect ratio affect the personalization feature?

    -The aspect ratio can change the idea of the user's preference quite a bit, as it might alter the generated images significantly based on the chosen ratio.

  • Does the personalization feature work with style raw?

    -Yes, the personalization feature also works with style raw, allowing the bot to tap into the user's preferences even when using style raw prompts.

  • Is there a limit to how high the stylized value can go?

    -The stylized value can go up to 1,000, but increasing it beyond a certain point may not make a significant difference in the generated images.

πŸ€– Introduction to Mid Journey's Personalization Feature

Mid Journey has introduced a new personalization feature that tailors image generation to individual user preferences. This feature, which has been in development for some time, can be demonstrated through a simple example. Users can activate this feature by adding a personal code to their prompts or enabling it in their settings. The video script provides a step-by-step guide on how to personalize prompts and how to develop a personal code by interacting with the Mid Journey website, ranking images, and letting the AI learn user preferences. The script also explains how to test the personalization code with different prompts and seed numbers.

πŸ”§ Adjusting Personalization Strength with Stylize Value

The script explains how to control the strength of personalization using the 'stylize' value, which ranges from 0 to 1,000, with the default set at 100. It provides examples of how varying this value affects image generation, showing the subtle differences between low and high stylize values. The narrator suggests that a stylize value between 50 and 200 is usually sufficient to see significant personalization effects, while values above 200 may not make a substantial difference. The script also emphasizes the importance of experimenting with different values to find the preferred level of personalization.

🎨 Exploring Aspect Ratios and Chaos Values in Personalization

This section of the script delves into how aspect ratios can influence the outcome of personalized image generation, noting that different ratios may alter the perceived style significantly. It also discusses the 'chaos' value, which, when combined with personalization, can lead to unexpected and creative results. The script illustrates this with examples of how increasing the chaos value can yield diverse and interesting images, even at high values. The narrator encourages viewers to experiment with chaos values to discover unique styles and reminds them that personalization codes are not currently compatible with 'nii journey'.

Keywords

πŸ’‘Personalization

Personalization in the context of the video refers to a new feature introduced by Midjourney, which tailors the generated content to an individual's preferences. It's a form of customization that makes the AI's output more aligned with the user's taste. For example, when the user wants to generate an image of Batman, adding a personalization code to the prompt results in a unique depiction that reflects the user's previously indicated preferences.

πŸ’‘Bot

In the script, 'bot' refers to the AI system used by Midjourney to create images based on user prompts. It's a software application that can perform tasks automatically, in this case, generating artwork. The bot becomes personalized as it learns from the images the user likes, thus creating a more customized experience.

πŸ’‘Prompt

A 'prompt' in this video is the input given by the user to the AI system to generate an image. It's a description or a request that guides the AI in creating specific content. The script explains how adding certain parameters to the prompt, like '-d-p', can activate personalization features.

πŸ’‘Settings

The 'settings' mentioned in the script are the user preferences and options within the Midjourney platform that can be adjusted to customize the AI's behavior. For instance, users can turn on personalization in the settings, which then applies the user's personalization code to all prompts by default.

πŸ’‘Code

In the context of the video, 'code' refers to a specific string of characters that represents the user's personalization preferences within the AI system. It's used in prompts to direct the AI to generate images according to the user's style, as shown when the speaker uses 'wml1 AI' as their personal code.

πŸ’‘Stylized Value

The 'stylized value' is a parameter that users can adjust to control the strength of the personalization in the AI-generated images. It ranges from 0 to 1000, with higher values intensifying the personal touch. The script demonstrates how different stylized values affect the output, from subtle hints to a strong reflection of the user's preferences.

πŸ’‘Chaos Value

The 'chaos value' is another parameter that influences the randomness and diversity in the AI's image generation. It can be adjusted to explore different artistic outcomes, as shown in the video where increasing the chaos value from 3 to 100 still results in high-quality images, suggesting that personalization can work well with varying levels of chaos.

πŸ’‘Aspect Ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image. In the script, it's mentioned that the aspect ratio can significantly influence the AI's interpretation of a prompt and the resulting image's style, indicating that it's an important factor in the personalization process.

πŸ’‘Style Raw

In the context of the video, 'style raw' seems to refer to a specific mode or setting within the AI system that can tap into the user's personal preferences, even when using longer or more complex prompts. It demonstrates the versatility of the personalization feature in affecting the style of generated content.

πŸ’‘Explore Page

The 'explore page' is a part of the Midjourney platform where users can discover and rank images, which in turn helps the AI learn the user's preferences. It's a key component of the personalization process, as the AI uses these rankings to develop a personalized style code for the user.

πŸ’‘Rank Pairs

To develop a personal style code, users are encouraged to 'rank pairs' on the explore page, which involves choosing which image they prefer from a set of two. This process helps the AI system understand the user's aesthetic preferences and generate images that are more attuned to their tastes.
