Today, I’m going to gush about my newest artistic obsession that’s been occupying a sizeable chunk of my screen time lately.

It’s Midjourney, a talented bot that creates a dizzying range of artwork and photos. Now, don’t roll your eyes just yet. I know we’ve all seen art bots before, but I assure you, Midjourney is something else.

I’ve been on a Midjourney binge recently, and its capabilities spellbind me. It specializes in conjuring the unbelievable: photo-realistic images. Yes, you heard me right, photo-realistic.

I kid you not; this bot’s images have me questioning reality. If a bot can replicate reality perfectly, what does that say about our perception of the world?

Chew on that.

However, like the awe-inspiring cosmos, Midjourney isn’t without its quirks. Users need to be on the lookout for one occasional idiosyncrasy: strange fingers.

I can’t help but be reminded of the aliens from the 1960s classic series “The Invaders.”

For those too young to remember, architect David Vincent, the lead character, fought off these strange extraterrestrials who were perfect human replicas — except for an occasionally mutated pinkie finger.

In a strangely delightful twist, maybe Midjourney is channeling that alien charm. Who knew art and vintage sci-fi could find common ground in a bot?

Each Midjourney creation arrives with a dose of anticipation. How will the fingers turn out this time? Will it be a subtle shift, a gentle warping of reality you might miss if you aren’t looking closely? Or will it be a glaringly apparent alien appendage daring you to accept this new version of reality? It’s a little thrill that keeps you coming back for more.

All fun and games aside, in my experience, the funky fingers only show up a small percentage of the time.

So, if you’re ready for a wild ride that combines art, AI, and a sprinkling of sci-fi nostalgia, join me in exploring Midjourney.

Midjourney is here, and it’s time we embrace these strange new frontiers — fingers and all.
