How to instantly source and use unbelievable AI stock imagery, without having to prompt the AI yourself

Many people have now tried chatGPT and generating images with platforms like Dall-E, or Midjourney, but a little-known trick is to leverage the massive database of images that already exist versus starting from scratch.

Here’s how to do it.

First, you do need a paid Midjourney account, but this is a minimal price to pay considering the value it unlocks. The cheapest plan is $10/mth or $8/mth (purchased annually). You’ll need to create a Midjourney account as well (see here for how do it).

Then simply log in to Midjourney on the web and search for the image you’d like and 100s of images will appear that you can use directly or remix with the prompt yourself.

Here’s an example:

yoga class in bali

You can then click into the image and download, or see the prompt and remix yourself.

Here’s another:

a meal delivery person

And another:

team meeting in an office

And, one more:

A family playing with a dog

You get the idea.

And yes, you can directly use and remix other people’s images, as per Midjourney’s terms. This is massive!

RIP Stock Image sites 🪦
