Midjourney v5 is like magic though. Imo stable diffusion doesn’t even come close.

  There's a lot of Stable Diffusion models though, I would say the opposite, it's hard to compete for Midjourney when you have 20 different competing fined-tuned Stable Diffusion models depending on what you want along with ControlNet, automatic1111 & comfyui.

    I agree with the parent comment. The quality of output images from MJ v5 is vastly better than anything I’ve been able to get out of SD regardless of which tuning model I’ve tried. SD’s underlying model on top of which everything is built just isn’t that good.

      very different initial approaches to training dataset curation, to SD's detriment.

        Can you be more explicit about what you mean? Also, the biggest difference is probably just the fact that MJ is using a much larger model than SD.

  Seem about the same if you know how to use them imho. I’ll say one thing Midjourney images are always way more “basic” in terms of aesthetic. Everything looks like the Artstation front page, which while very competent is tacky look.
