Transcripts
idog is the brand new AI art generator
on the Block in this video I'm going to
put idog darly and mid Journey to the
test through a number of challenges to
see which is the air generator to roll
them all or which one is best in your
different situation and we're going to
look firstly at the features before
moving on to a prompt battle we'll put
the same prompt into each of these I
generators and then we'll evaluate the
strengths and weaknesses of the images
that come out next up is speed well have
a little prompt race and we'll see how
long it takes to generate an image in
each of these platforms next up is
pricing where we'll take a look at how
much it costs to make the use of each
one of these softwares finally we'll
have a little discussion about the
community the resolution and the
limitations that each of these has
that's why we'll talk about
NSFW there's nothing like spending hours
at your laptop crafting the most
beautiful Godly
shapely boobers so ladies and gentlemen
I've put on a shirt today so we're
really talking business now it's time to
dive in and explore which is the best AI
art generator together on the
announcements page of idiogram they've
shared a rather intriguing graph
showcasing some research that they have
performed rating their platform against
both Dar and mid journey and here you
can see that they say using an
evaluation protocol we find that human
rers prefer idiogram one over D 3 and
mid Journey V6 in prompt alignment image
coherence overall preference and text
rendering quality so it's saying here
that it smashes both darly and mid
Journey on prompt alignment which is
prompt adherence making sure that what
you get out is what you put in image
coherence which is essentially how much
sense the image makes if people have
extra limbs eyes teeth or hands fingers
toes and overall preference which is
essentially how much do you enjoy the
aesthetic Taste of the image and text
rendering quality which is how much the
AI art generator is able to accurately
recreate the text that you have asked
for and it even looks as if that it was
a closer Run Race Against darly than
against mid Journey which surprises me I
mean especially I would say on the
overall preference metric I'm very
shocked that number one that darly
outperformed mid Journey on this metric
and number two that it was not a lot
closer some dodgy polling going on there
I'd say it's like those Russian polls
that come out and say Putin with 99.9%
of the vote yeah I I believe that and
also looking at this data we can see
that where idog is really stepping out
in front of these other to is on the
text rendering capabilities and this is
particularly interesting because it
opens up an Avenue for incredible
graphic design work so you can really
start to uh create work such as posters
apps website designed inside of an AI
art generator just look at some of these
designs coming out of idiogram the text
is coherent the spelling is correct each
of the characters is rendered accurately
and coherently and it opens up a whole
world of possibilities for design but I
was curious to run a little poll on my
channel and see which is the favorite
air generator and mid Journey came out
way ahead with 60% of the vote followed
by stable diffusion and then darly and
Leonardo coming up lower down so we'll
have a little chat about the features
and the user experience of these
platforms firstly Dary is best run
inside of chat GPT and this gives it its
own unique flavor that you can
essentially have a conversation with
chat GPT about creating images this is
both an advantage and a drawback what's
good is that you can actually ask chat
GPT for its opinion on the works that
you are creating and work with it in a
conversational manner you can say okay
make it more bright make it more
futuristic and it can update using this
conversational language which is quite a
usable way to interact with an air
generator however it's extremely
difficult to fine-tune the algorithm
them to uh adjust the settings and
parameters inside your works now mid
journey is uh currently working both in
a Discord Channel version and they're
building out their own website where you
can create as well now mny has an
interesting blend of uh being both
usable in a simple way where you can
simply enter a prompt and get out very
beautiful images that work very well
with little understanding of both visual
taste or prompt engineering and it also
offers more advanced users the
capabilities to adjust and fine-tune the
algorithm in different ways for example
you can create consistent Styles you can
add in different parameters which adjust
how the algorithm works this includes
how much it adheres to your prompt how
much of its own stylistic intent it adds
and much much more so it has a nice uh
entry point where it's quite easy to
pick up and start off and then there is
a lot to learn if you go further down
that rabbit hole now I would say also
mny has a very good library of
collecting your images so it's easy to
navigate through all of the works that
you have created you can put these into
folders you can filter them and you can
search for them in this uh very elegant
and organized way and if we have a look
at ideogram igog is running in the
browser and it has its own site uh it
has a fairly decent uh Library
management system and the prompting
window uh Works fairly well however I
would say that I would like to see a
full screen prompting experience it's
quite unusual to have this very small
modal window where you have to select
all of the different elements for your
work so let's move on to a prompt battle
and this is where I've put in the same
prompt to each of these AI art
generators and I've collected these so
we can compare them now we're going to
run through a few different styles and
mediums and we're going to look for
which ones are working well and who wins
on each round so first up we have animal
photography and the prompt for this is a
joyful dog riding a surfboard catching
away so I won't read out all of the
prompts I will give you a little idea of
what the prompt is but if you are
interested in seeing the whole prompts
and also looking at these images
yourself more closely I'll leave a link
to this document in the description
below so now you've seen the prompt I
will show you three images and I'm
actually going to ask you to have a
think about which one you like the most
and how they compare without knowing
which is from which AI art generator yet
this is to prevent any bias because we
might have developed some sort of love
and affiliation with a software and its
purpose in the world Long Live which is
highly impossible because art can stir
great motivations in the heart great
dependencies on the philosophy and
notion of what type of world we want to
live in is it a world envisaged by Dar
mid Journey or idiogram idiogram
ideogram idog so here are the three
images do you prefer doggo number one
doggo number two or doggo number three
make your choice now so I can tell you
that doggo number one was from dar doggo
number two was from mid journey and
doggo number three is from the new
player in the game ideogram now I also
asked this as a poll on my channel so
let's take a look at the results doggo
number two came out way ahead with 57%
of the vote next up was Dogo number
three which is from idiogram and finally
it was darly so in this public vote we
had a preference for Mid Journey and
then for idiogram and finally for Dary
but mid Journey really dominated the
vote so my choice it's certainly mid
journey and idiogram stand out above
Dary I quite enjoy the ears coming up
from the idiogram version gives it a
slightly humorous depiction of this dog
but I'm not sure if that's physically
possible that in this moment it looks
like as if his momentum is coming down
and so it's unusual that his ears are
flopping up at this time there is it
yeah beautiful balance and composition
of this piece I like the way that it
really leads you into the center of the
image that there are these shapes that
really point and direct us to the focal
point of the image which is the dog on
the surfboard so the leading lines work
very well and it has a nice balance of
colors I would say the expression of the
dog looks a little bit gormless maybe I
would prefer it if he was uh looking
more directly into the camera or there
is a little bit more life in his eyes
and the other point I would like to
mention is the surfboard seems a little
bit small especially the rear end and we
can also look at an element of physics
here it looks as if the the beach is
very shallow here that the water is very
close to the Sea Flor and it looks as if
he's on a huge wave so perhaps that
doesn't make a lot of sense but overall
I'm quite keen on this image and I think
realistically it looks very good it's
been rendered effectively The Prompt
adherence is there and the image
coherence so if we look into the moury
version you can you can see that the
it's got a very different approach it's
very interesting to see the contrast
between how Dynamic the idiogram image
is compared to how calm and relax the
mid Journey images now I prefer the more
restricted color palette coming out of
mid Journey here you can see that it has
really dominant blues and then just
these highlights of the dog in the
middle which are these more subtle
earthy oranges which contrast very well
to the blues so it starts to look a
little bit stylized with this very
restricted color palette but it's more
visually pleasing to me perhaps it's
slightly less realistic but it's more
artistic it's almost as if a
photographer had really curated the
scene for the visual effect it it's more
cinematically engaging so I appreciate
that about the mid Journey version I
also would say that I would probably
prefer to have this dog in my life than
this dog oh my God now you can see the
surfboard is pretty Tiny But apart from
that the physics look look fairly
accurate let me know if you see anything
in any of these images that I miss any
unusual elements that don't make sense
especially and finally we have the DAR
image and here you can see the classic
effect of Dar which is to really
saturate everything and add in very high
Dynamic ranges so the image has really
intense highlights and very dark shadows
and also some I would say yeah very
intense elements I find it to be like
the sun is extremely overwhelming it's
almost the most dominant element in the
whole piece for me it distracts a little
bit from the subject matter to have this
very intense Sun like this very harsh
intense light so the lighting is often
very harsh and intense in darly and it
really comes across in this image though
I do like the the textures coming out of
the water here in the reflections are
very artistic very abstract and uh I I
appreciate these as well as the the Mist
the fine Mist coming off of the wave
actually is it's it's quite tactile so
let's put them all side by side to see
how they compare I noticed my internal
system gets most activated and irritated
by the idiogram and dar versions I find
the mid Journey version more calming and
soothing I must say I really appreciate
the variety in the answers to the prompt
that each one of these has a very
different approach and yeah it's really
beautiful to see that we have these AI
art generators that are actually taking
their own Direction it would be very sad
if they all came out with very similar
images so I would like to Comm in them
all for at least attempting to develop
their own style and vision for an AI art
generator now let's move on to human
photo realism I think I'm always more
impressed by an AI art generator's
ability to recreate photorealistic
depictions of life rather than surreal
or abstract painted mediums and I think
this really puts the AI art generators
to the test I think that for True
application of this technology we are
going to be looking at how it's going to
work with realistic situations this is
really where it's going to uh be used
the most and have the biggest impact on
the largest amount of Industries so this
is the photorealistic prompt that I used
a beautiful girl in a cafe looking
directly into the frame cinematic High
detail ultra realistic cinematic
lighting shot on 50 mm lens Ultra wide
angle depth of field hyper detailed
beautifully colored coded beautifully gr
so let's take a look at how these images
compare first up we have idiogram
and what's interesting about this
depiction is it has a slightly painted
effect a slightly stylized aesthetic it
almost looks like paint Strokes coming
off of the cabinet here it's got a very
clear Central perspective leading Us in
through the image you can see the lines
are all drawing us very clearly into the
image you can see this line coming up
here yeah so it's quite I would say a
yeah an intense tense
perspective that they've applied onto
this image it feels a little bit
overwhelming it's like these shots from
Alfred Hitchcock where they zoom in very
intensely and accentuate the perspective
around the character so it almost has a
horror film feeling to me I would say
this is elevated by the Lacy outfit of
this young girl though I would say
anatomically she looks fairly accurate
perhaps this forearm is a little bit
long it looks as if this arm is a little
bit longer than this arm let's just see
if that's true yes so it does look as if
this forearm is at least 10 to 15%
longer so some slight deviations
anatomically there now also her nose
looks a little bit unusual to me the
middle part of the nose what is that
called Christ septum I think it is
called the septum let's roll with septum
you can see the septum is quite narrow
unusually so and there's unbalanced
about her mouth here it's like slightly
heavier on the left side than on the
right side and there's also an unusual
Watermark added in here that was not
requested for unreal as for the color
palette I would say I I quite like the
these opaque softer Shades these these
pinks and reds are balancing out quite
well this uh the visual balance of the
colors is is very coherent here I like
the yeah the larger amount of this Peach
over here uh being balanced out with the
darker intense red perhaps is a little
bit distracting than actually on the
subject I would say that the eye is
certainly drawn more to these bold
colors rather than to the subject in the
middle of the screen now let's move on
to the mid Journey version and it's yeah
it's a real contrast here you can see
that the composition we have is much
more closely zoomed in it's got a very
strong bcka effect which is a blurred
background and this yeah it gives us a
completely different feel from the
previous image it's uh really incredible
how different the interpretation is I
really appreciate the freckles that have
been added in and if we look at the nose
the nose certainly is more realistic
here so anatomically I cannot see
anything that I would say is different
from reality I would like to pay
particular attention to the detail of
the individual strands of hair and how
naturally they seem to fall on her face
and shoulders maybe this hair here is
the only one that seems a little bit
unusual to me can you see any unusual
hairs now just compare that to the hair
of the first image and you can see that
there are still individual strands
coming through from idiogram but it
looks like a block doesn't look like a
lifelike set of hairs it looks more like
an imitation of hair now we take a
closer look at Dar whoa once again darly
has this incredibly high contrast overly
saturated image I wonder what happened
in the training of Dary it reminds me
very much if you see people who are just
starting out in photography and they're
posting things on Instagram they have a
tendency to add way too much Clarity
contrast and saturation when they're
editing their images and I think there
is a real potential for Dar if there is
like a less saturated lower contrast
image perhaps my fear with darly is that
they created a beautiful AI art
generator and then it was shown to a
person in management who had the final
say and said oh can we give it a bit
more Jazz like why is this not got
enough Jazz and then they're saying okay
we can do this and they just offer a
quick fix where they add this intense
contrast and saturation and he's like I
love it I love it it's amazing give it
more Jazz more Jazz and then that was
the model that was delivered to the
public so I did two things here firstly
is I took the image from darly and I
manually adjusted some of the effects of
it to reduce the contrast the clarity
the saturation and lower the highlights
and raise the darks in the image and for
me I would say that it certainly looks
more uh one realistic and two I would
say I prefer the the visual appeal of it
now I also asked darly to do this itself
and it came out with this version which
I would say is a vast Improvement so
when you're working with DAR it really
helps to tell it that you don't know
what your you don't know what taste is
I'm in charge here and you're going to
listen to me I don't want none of your
damn high contrast and if we take a look
at all these images together we can see
how we feel about them I would say that
for me for some reason the initial darly
image that came out with feels more like
an alien than a human being I notice I
am most drawn to the mid Journey version
I think the strong blood background
effect really draws the eye in it gives
it this cinematic feel the idiogram
version has very intense perspective and
colors and then the updated darly
version certainly improves the the
aesthetic and gives you something
completely different so I would say the
most realistic rendering comes from mid
Journey followed by idiogram followed by
darly though Dary certainly works better
if you know how to use it now we're
going to take a look at illustrations
next fantasy style illustrations and the
prompt for this round was an or
inspiring cinematic illustration of a
mysterious cloaked wizard standing
amidst a misty Forest so before we jump
into this round I thought I would tell
you a little bit about why I have the
experience and background to comment on
these software well I have a background
in Art and Design I've exhibited my arts
in countries from London to Saudi Arabia
and I've worked as a designer and
collaborated with global Brands like
GoDaddy Raffin the Sundance Film
Festival Barkley's and many more I've
run my own design studio for the last 10
years and we've also Sold Design
templates to creatives so we've been
creating tools and templates for other
designers to work more effectively this
was way back when I had to make
everything by hand you ever seen a man
draw it's where he takes a stick and he
rubs it on a piece of paper oh dear yeah
I used to create some on line drawings
this was one of my Styles as an artist
so let's get back to our prompt battle
and now we're on to illustration and
we're going to walk through the
different images first up we have have
idiogram and it's got a really beautiful
image actually I love the sense of Story
coming through in this that we have the
wizard looking at this mysterious castle
and he is actually in the moment of
casting a spell directed towards this
beautiful castle which has some sort of
event going on in the courtyard the
composition the story the colors are all
excellently executed and there is
nothing anatomically or physically
incorrect next up we have mid journey
and it has yeah a really different
atmosphere that's come out in the image
like if you just notice how you feel
looking at this image compared to this
image this is so much more dark intense
boding and this is slightly more
adventurous and light-hearted certainly
for me gives a a little bit more of a
feel of Lord of the Rings and perhaps
The Fellowship of the Ring where they're
visiting the Elven Town it reminds me a
little bit of Rivendell ESP the almost
spring like tones coming through now
we'll finally look at the DI version and
again there is something else that is
quite consistent with darly images is
that when you have buildings you have a
lot of intense spiky spires now one
thing that we had in the prompt was to
summon a mighty meteor and it looks as
if idiogram has done this mid has not
done this and Dary has done it very
accurately like that is certainly a
meteor there's no doubt about it whereas
idog like H yeah that could pass for a
meteor I could see how that's happening
but uh mid journey I mean unless this is
like a very very faded meteor slowly
coming into shot it has not adhered to
The Prompt there so one thing to bear in
mind is that idiograms prompt adherence
is extremely high Dar is effective and
mid Journeys is a little bit lacking so
we take a look at these more closely
together and once again idiogram and
darly has gone for extremely similar
color palette there is a lot more detail
in the idiogram image if you see that a
lot of the elements inside of Dary look
very repetitive it's almost a
symmetrical border from these trees
three trees on each side with very
similar Styles which gives it a little
bit of balance but almost a feeling of
there was less intent placed on it it
was like okay we'll just repeat it on
the other side M Journey offers a real
contrasting aesthetic but it has not
adhered to The Prompt as closely so I'd
say there are strengths and we
weaknesses to each of these I would say
that the aesthetic is more mature in the
mid Journey image The Prompt adherence
is Best In Dary and I would say that the
detail is clearest in idiogram
especially I love the The Frayed
elements to this wizard cloak it's it's
a really beautiful extra detail that
they've added in there it adds like a
real rawness and personality to this
wizard next up we're going to be looking
at a dynamic action shot of a Mercedes
And The Prompt is a high performance
Mercedes AMG on the lemon circuit so
first up we have idog and I really like
the the drama of the piece especially
these flying elements coming from the
side here of this there must be leaves
it's not quite clear what they are it's
clear that it has picked up on the
leaves and dust from the bront and added
those in for a real element of motion
and dynamism however i' would say the
the man's face he's got an
extraordinarily large nose hello my
name's Mr pig nose and and it's rendered
the logo of the Mercedes very well and
accurately and if we move on to the mid
Journey version it certainly looks like
a shot from an advertising scene I I
like the Blurred nature of the elements
apart from the car that it has this yeah
this very beautiful effect of blurring
everything apart from the car which is
in Focus which really leads your eye
into the car perhaps the colors are
almost too restricted here in this mid
Journey Edition it's really just uh
yellow tones there is no contrasting
colors if we look at the idiogram
version it's more realistic though I
find the the airbrushing effect on the
metal of the car seems a little bit too
much a little bit too intense and also
the perspective is accentuated and
rotated so it's not a level image it's
quite interesting that they've done this
in the idiogram version so this would be
like a level photo with the Horizon flat
but it hasn't it's giving this this
leaning effect which I find to be
slightly disorientating and nausea
inducing but it does add that sense of
motion and dynamism to the piece they
also did this curiously on the earlier
photo of the dog surfing yeah I J has
done it a little bit but it does feel
like there is a a more stable nature to
the image and finally we have the darly
image and I would say yeah the again the
strength of a darly image is with the
mist and the dust coming up it has quite
got the composition right because hasn't
included the driver and if we take a
look at all of these together I would
say that again idiogram mid Journey are
out in front with different strengths
mid Journey certainly has a more
cinematic refined style and idiogram has
more of an intense Dynamic approach the
darly image seems to me to be a little
bit childish and overly intense lacking
nuance and more intelligent composition
now we'll move on to a slightly more
childish type of illustration 3D and
playful and this is where we might
expect darly to do a bit better as that
really plays the strengths of the styles
that are effective In Dary I'll read you
the prompt or the first part of the
prompt at least a cacing illustration of
a playful student enjoying a vibrant
outdoor playground so the ideogram has
produced us a very interesting life
image Whimsical and playful Bountiful
and full of life nice composition it
selected a good moment within the
timeline of this child going down the
slide to put them right in the middle
the peak moment of enjoyment though I
don't quite understand why it's put a
block where he's going to land that's a
little bit evil now we look at Mid
Journey the mid Journey version has got
a few distortions in it actually you can
see that the the face is not rendered
particularly clearly with the nose
having an unusual line across it and
also I would say maybe this hand is
missing or it's not very clear exactly
where this hand is and something about
the toes look very flat here and if we
take a look at the darly version uh so
very intense colors a very different
layout and style but I I like the trees
the style of these trees fairly
interesting the child looks less
engaging I would say I'm less curious
about the character of the child in this
one for the character design compared to
the other two so let's take a closer
look at all of these together I
certainly would say that the character
design of the child in mouran idiogram
are much more engaging they they really
feel like real people that I want to
understand more of like why are they
there why have they not put their
backpacks on the ground because I asked
them to have a child for a backpack
probably B yeah the joyful expression is
really coming through on both of these
characters I like the stylized trees
that IDR has created these abstract
bubble trees are very beautiful so again
you can see that ID Graham and dar have
really saturated images very high in
intensity in their contrast and dynamic
ranges mid Journey has a more subtle
subdued color palette the physics of the
ideogram image is probably the best
apart from this block blocking the poor
child and darly has come out with a very
different approach really very unusual
now one area that idiogram claims to be
heads and shoulders above the
competition is in effective text
rendering and in this round we're going
to put that to the test I spent some
time exploring in mid Journey version 6
its font rendering capabilities its
ability to render text effectively and I
was able to create a number of working
usable fonts using mid journey and I
even made a course on this entire
process if you're interested I'll leave
a discount coupon for everyone watching
this video in the description below and
so I wanted to put that process to the
the test in both Dary and iog and the
prompt was a font and then with the
alphabet and then children's quirky cute
black and white full alphabet small flat
Joy tone and this is the igram version
that came out and I have to say this is
pretty impressive font design first of
all it's almost got the entire alphabet
correctly in it's only got a few letters
incorrect or rendered in a nonsensical
way for example this is a mystery letter
and this is a mystery letter here this
looks more like a little Garland to wear
on your shirt now it's also made the
mistake of giving us different color
styles within the same font so this
would make it more complicated to render
out now this was the mid Journey version
that I got and it did very well at
creating a usable font design however
the issue was it really struggled to get
the entire alphabet out it only got
about half of the letters but for the
actual quality of the individual
character designs it is uh beautiful now
finally the darly version didn't quite
understand that we were looking for a
font design but the letters it has
designed are interesting aesthetic and
this really does give a good basis for a
font design I really appreciate the the
playfulness of this R and also the extra
leg coming out of the W so I think
they're very beautiful letter forms but
it hasn't quite adhered to the exact
text that I was looking for I I would
say that idog has followed most closely
the text adherence actually getting
closest to the full alphabet I would say
that mid Journey has given us the most
usable font design letter design that
there is the most consistency between
the characters in the mid Journey
version though aesthetically I really
like the style of the letters coming out
of Dary I I think they're particularly
original and unusual and would really
work well for a font the issue is though
this is a lot more work to use this to
build out a font so these letters coming
out of mid Journey are exceptionally
good for creating a font straight away
because we have very clear
differentiation from the letter to the
background and there's a nice amount of
spacing in between whereas this is a
little bit of an issue with the idiogram
version and they've also colored
different letters in different styles
and then also the darly version they've
grouped letters completely together and
put them on this sticker like background
now we'll take a look at a surreal
anthropomor challenge where we'll take a
stunning cinematic image of futuristic
cyber Punk bunny this is the ideogram
version you can see that he's eating at
bunny bow and the menu has the bunny bow
logo etched across it I like the
intensity coming through from this
character and the blue and pink cyber
Punk style is working well next time we
have mid journey and oh yeah wow it's
like I like this and then I look at the
mid Journey version I'm like H okay well
there's something that suddenly touches
me a little bit differently about it
it's like this is this is okay this is
good uh but mid Journey for some reason
it just understands taste more
effectively and looking at the darly
image we have again really high
intensity saturation and a fully focused
image with the whole image really in
Focus which somehow detracts from the
overall experience of the image I do
appreciate the steam coming off of his
little plate of food and he does look
very interested in whatever he's reading
on the computer that there a real sense
that that that's an engaging Tik Tok
video he's got going on there so looking
at them all together I most appreciate
the version coming out of mid Journey
for some reason the realism comes
through a lot stronger here especially
with the rendering of the fur and the
whiskers on his little face I appreciate
the intense expression from coming out
of videogram and the more playful nature
coming out of Dary next up we're going
to look at rendering products and for
this we have used the prompt a stunning
3D render of futuristic women's shoes
designed for exploring other worldly
terrains first up we have idiogram it's
got a reasonable pair of shoes I
appreciate the colors and also the
reflections coming off the Neon Lights
of the shoe onto the Rocks after this we
have mid journey and I would say that it
has not particularly understood the
nature of what we were looking for here
and the style is quite intense and flat
rather than realistic after that the
darly version has a nice set of shoes
certainly has the product photography
style down and another Telltale sign of
Dar is that it has often got this
vignette effect on all of its images
where the corners are much darker than
the center of the image I like how
there's almost a little face coming out
of the darly shoes here the smile on the
two eyes this is a nice touch which of
these would I actually wear I'd probably
wear the idiogram ones first then the
darly versions and and the M ones look
more like some sort of cowboy boot
crossed with a futuristic shoe and I
like the the style and the reflections
on the materials of audiogram I'm really
getting a a very good sense of the
different features of the material used
on the webbing on top compared to the
under layer now if we take a look at the
next design and it's a tarot card
illustration and for idiogram we have
yeah a beautiful illustration
I appreciate the subtle floral details
they do have a little bit of a watermark
added in here of a artist signature
which I don't appreciate I think this
should not be in there you should add
this yourself because obviously if you
want to use this you're going to have to
edit that out and it looks like the
person's name was Jor gay the skeleton's
fingers are not rendered particularly
anatomically correctly and for some
reason there is a gap here of the grass
not being colored in correctly I also
think that the text rendering if they're
going to put text in it needs to say
something one that makes sense and two
that uses a consistent font style and
you can see here that the word starts
off particularly reasonable and it
deteriorates at the end next up with the
mid Journey version I appreciate again
the floral elements are
Illustrated accurately and with a nice
set of both consistency within the
different elements and variety so not
one of these flowers looks the same yet
they all fit together in harmony again
we have the same issue with the text
rendering I have to say it looks as if
his hand has been rendered more
anatomically correctly finally we have
the DI version and this is actually very
impressive there is a coherence to the
style and something more in line of how
I would imagine a tarot card to be
rendered I like the both the floral
elements and the composition there is a
nice balance here in the darly version
to the composition I actually appreciate
the way that they have mirrored the
effects on the left and right hand side
and it works really well in this
situation for an illustrative card and
the skeleton has a yeah quite a sincere
and humble posture of real Intrigue into
the book and the skeleton looks fairly
anatomically correct and I certainly
think it's performed very well here so
for me in this round actually darly is a
clear winner and that's possibly the
only round that I would say Dar has
absolutely knocked the other two out of
the park it also hasn't made the same
error of adding in nonsensical text it
actually hasn't had any any text apart
from this it's more of a pictogram
rather than a piece of nonsensical text
so it actually makes a more usable
design and looking at them together I I
do appreciate the graphic nature to the
darly card I like the the details and
the subtlety to the floral elements of
videogram and the slightly more intense
morbid feel coming out of mid Journey so
to summarize the findings from The
Prompt battle between these three I
would say that idiogram provide the most
photorealistic images with mid Journey
providing a slightly more cinematic
tasteful and curated experience it's
almost as if you looking at the World
Through The Eyes of a talented director
and photographer it adds in that sense
whereas idiogram gives you a slightly
more should we say dynamic wild
interpretation of the world that's I
would say more realistic to what you
actually see but it gives you less
visually interesting images for actual
human renderings I would say that
idiogram and mid Journey present very
beautiful effects but mid Journey has
this this director's eye the
cinemagraphic approach whereas idiogram
gives you something that's uh a little
bit more with a moodiness to it this uh
subtlety that almost becomes a little
bit painted and darly will give you the
most over intense aliens if that's what
you're looking for everyone has their
own fetish each to their own but darly
if you understand its weaknesses you can
actually tell it to counteract those so
it has an inbuilt stylistic intent to
create highly stylized images but this
can be undone with effective prompting
each one of these is starting to perform
very well with text but idiogram has the
best prompt adherence and I think we're
seeing that cons consistently that idog
and dar have the best ability to
understand relational and complex
prompts so if you're looking to create
very specific scenes or continuous
elements then they are working best
however one thing to bear in mind is
that none of these platforms are
presenting effective ways for creating
consistent characters and for that
you'll have to look elsewhere I think
that is something they will all be
looking to perform more effectively at
in future as it's one of the most
requested featur features from the AI
art community now Dar has performed
particularly well in graphic and
Illustrated situations and especially if
you're creating posters or repeating
elements inside of your work now we'll
do a little speed test and see how each
of these Compares we're going to enter
in the same prompt to each and we're
going to run them all simultaneously on
screen to see which one comes up fastest
man wearing a pink hat is sitting
on a blue chair on top of a purple whale
on the left is a dinosaur and on the
right is a pineapple and they are off
ladies and gentlemen this is three
Titans of the game locking horns in a
race to the finish and it looks like
idog gram is taking an early lead whilst
mid Journey has made some progress and
there it is ideogram is first Dary
second and coming up in the rear in
third place is
mid journey in 34 seconds so there we
have it there are the results of the
speed test now let's just take a look at
how well these each performed with
understanding the relational prompt so
idiogram has understood the prompt
effectively on every single addition it
has all of these elements in the correct
places and if we look at darly you can
see it has also performed well on this
front and the other thing to note is
that Dar only gives us one image at a
time
whereas mny has it is also done pretty
well I would say that one of the images
he has not got the chair on top of the
dinosaur but for this relational prompt
it has done pretty well apart from
sometimes it's getting the pineapple in
the wrong place and the dinosaur too so
you would say that for relational
complex prompt adherence that idiogram
and Dary are ahead of mid joury now
let's talk a little bit about
restrictions that Dary is a pretty woke
and tame AI art generator that does not
allow you to have much fun by creating
famous people or using the styles of
other artists or of creating NSFW Works
mid journey is slightly more lenient and
allows you to use styles from artists it
allows you to create the likeness of
famous people they're not all famous
people you cannot create images of XI
jingping and it doesn't give you so much
leeway with NSFW type content more
salacious images of the female
anatomy whereas uh new friend igram
gives us a little bit more leniency with
creating NSFW content it I would say
that it allows a little bit more skin to
come through but it does have a
limitation that if you start going too
far it will tell you no you've been a
very naughty boy this is not safe and it
will come up with a little image that
says naughty content but but you can get
away with I would say things that are
more provocative up to a limit now we'll
talk a little bit about pricing that all
of these plans offer I would say quite
comparable options for their unlimited
versions and the unlimited monthly
pricing is $20 for idog and Dary 3 and
$30 for Mid Journey however Dy 3 comes
with chat GPT plus so you get both chat
GPT Plus and darly 3 which is a pretty
good deal and for idiogram you get
unlimited amount of relaxed generations
and mid Journey also with their standard
plan you get an unlimited amount of
relaxed Generations which means you can
create as many images as you want but
they are slightly slower I've gone ahead

button that exists somewhere near this
video it's somewhere around here and if
it ever called upon you you could bestow
upon me the honor of your subscription
so a little bit of fun just to take a
look at some of the things you can do
with idiogram that I like is you can
create memes and you can ask it to
create memes so I asked it to create a
meme about British men and it said when
you realize a British man in AA meme
computer hilarity and then next up it
had British man no I'm not C I'm British
this resonates with me quite deeply I
certainly I can handle the cold I can't
handle the heat I'm here currently in
Indonesia and I am sweating one out
consistently and I'm literally not built
for the tropics but I love it then the
next one is when you tell a British man
the the weather is normal and then when
British men discuss the latest fashion
trends well I say I do like the color
burgundy KY Green KY Green is so in
right now then I asked it to do the same
for Americans and it came out with these
it seems like Americans are obsessed
with cheeseburgers barbecues and beer
when you've mastered the art of the
perfect barbecue a lot of fun here and
finally then I asked it to do one about
AI art and these were actually fairly
decent my AI art is better than yours I
liked this and also there when you
realize AI art is taking over the meme
world and I suppose this is a nod to the
Future so to summarize I would say that
mid journey is it's like the Arrogant
French man who knows best at everything
it has the best taste and it looks down
upon everyone else because it simply
understands the reality of style you
cannot teach style you're born with it I
would say darly is this wide-eyed woke
child that is obsessed with bright and
shiny things and has yet to develop a
mature
daring and M is more like H I know what
is the best it is the very particular
you do not understand an idiogram is
like the new kid on the Block it's a
