This sent me down a rabbit hole of trying a lot more gibberish/unconventional prompts on Midjourney. There’s something fascinating about seeing such a complex response that’s clearly an unintended side-effect of the training process, even though the results have a pretty conventional “Midjourney look”.
Putting in your username is also an amusing exercise. This is what I get for babelspace The ‘space’ influence is pretty obvious, I think it’s associating babel > babble and babies, which I assume is where the color scheme and youthfulness comes from.
If anyone without a Midjourney subscription wants to see what their username looks like, I would be happy to run it for you.
I'm not a native English speaker so I have a hard time coming up with nonsense words that have a certain "feel", so I asked ChatGPT to generate some for me:
https://chat.openai.com/share/c1d553dd-a517-4a17-8473-72afaddd0e87
Here is what happened when I fed them into Midjourney:
Sereneity and sonderance
ChatGPT definitions:
- Sereneity: A feeling of tranquility that encompasses not only inner peace but also a deep connection with the surrounding environment. This word is inspired by the feeling of sitting alone in a serene location, soaking in the beauty, and attaining a sense of balance within oneself.
- Sonderance: The sudden overwhelming sensation that every person around you has a life as complex and intricate as your own. It builds on the concept of 'sonder' and adds 'resonance', symbolizing the emotional impact of this realization.
Midjourney prompt:
Sereneity and sonderance --q 2
Midjourney output:
Dystaust retrofrisson
ChatGPT definitions:
- Dystaust: The feeling of unease and dissatisfaction that comes from living in a time you feel doesn't fit your values or desires. This is a mix of 'dystopia' and 'disgust' representing a conceptual disconnect with the present time.
- Retrofrisson: The nostalgia-tinged chills one gets when encountering an artifact, sound, smell, or taste from one's past. Formed from 'retro' (old or in the past) and 'frisson' (a moment of intense excitement).
Midjourney prompt:
Dystaust retrofrisson as a symbolic image --q 2
(I needed to add some actual words because it stopped with an error without them.)
Midjourney output:
Conclusion
The images are amazing and they pretty accurately represent what ChatGPT meant!
To me the common element in your picture seems to be some sort of orange teardrop shape. In some cases it’s a balloon, in others it’s a mushroom.
You’re right! And it appears in all of them, regardless of the prompt. Maybe it uses this shape for any weird or incomprehensible prompt.
Decided I would try this with Stable Diffusion - Emaonly 1.5

So yeah, I don't think SD has anything of this sort. The results are similar to if I type in complete bullshit: OPSKAEOPSAEKSAELMAESOJSAEKLHWQEWQECOIUWEOIWQODWDJHSDMWOIEUQWRRNFJKBEIURFYHQOEIEJFOLEIFDJALSKDJPAWOJODIJDIWHFN

Also typed in my username, as some commented in the thread. I got a lot of pictures of singers who looked suspiciously like Abel Tesfaye. My other username, which obviously has "deer" on it:

My old discord username, which has nothing to do with buildings whatsoever:

Interesting! It seems like the claim in the original article is only true in very specific cases, if at all.
I typed in more of the weird text from the logos with the following results:
Prompt:
FROTIE FIOLE --q 2
Output:
Prompt:
NOTE MAMESE --q 2
Output:
Conclusion:
While these are all beautiful images, they have nothing to do with either the original fitness prompt or the logos. Though the first prompt seems to consistently mean "frog", and the second one "a girl playing music".
For both of these prompts, I received a warning from Midjourney:
Action needed to continue
Sorry! Our AI moderators feel your prompt might be against our community standards.
If you think this is a mistake, please press the "Appeal" button below and we will send it to a more sophisticated AI to double-check the result. /imagine NOTE MAMESE --q 2
And I had to appeal. I won't do any more of these experiments because I don't want them to ban me :D
