People Are Using Camera Filenames to Make Midjourney More Photorealistic

Users are enhancing photorealism in Midjourney's AI images by including camera filenames in prompts, such as CR2 or HEIC. This technique has shown remarkable results, blurring the lines between synthetic and real images. The latest Midjourney V7 model facilitates this with high realism while offering a faster, lower-resolution “Draft Mode.”

“Platform Realism”. AI Image Synthesis and the Rise of Generic Visual Content

AI image synthesis, exemplified by models like DALL-E and Midjourney, aims for “realistic” representations that are often generic and biased toward white, Western cultural aesthetics. This phenomenon, termed “platform realism,” arises from billions of past images and is tailored to corporate norms and consumer preferences. The essay critiques this model, highlighting its implications for digital visual culture and arguing that AI-generated images reflect a commodified visual landscape rather than authentic representations of reality. The aesthetic is shaped by user expectations, historical context, and algorithmic outputs, resulting in a cycle of generative imagery that prioritizes familiarity over originality.

Google Whisk

Google Whisk is a new AI tool by Google that generates images using other images as prompts rather than text, enabling users to create personalized visuals easily. It utilizes Gemini for captions and Imagen for final image generation. Currently available in the US and Canada, Whisk has received positive feedback for its functionality in design and creativity.
