I'm a little skeptical that this artist's work was "used to train Midjourney" just because their name appears on that list. My understanding is that the list in question is just a scraped list of artist names from Wikipedia, and was used as a list of possible styles to try in prompts, to see if CLIP happened to know them. I don't think that being on the list necessarily means that an artist's work was used to train Midjourney, nor does not being on the list mean it wasn't.
- unnamed76ri 3y agoAn easy way to tell is to instruct Midjourney to create something “in the style of ______ “ I don’t currently have a MJ subscription or I’d try it.
- qingcharles 3y agoWell, I tried it, and MJ gets thrown off by the name of the style being two generic words "cat and girl." It basically thinks you want a cat and a girl. I tried lots of variations and prompt options and I was giving too many hints. Lesson being: give yourself a name as an artist that cannot be used easily in an AI prompt. I think some musicians did this with artist names and track names that meant they couldn't easily be represented as MP3s, but could easily be printed on the tracklisting on the CD inlay.
- ShamelessC 3y agoIs the artist anonymous or something? Use their real name…
- qingcharles 3y agoWell if you call your band just a string of characters that search engines don't like, such as punctuation, math symbols etc. I think Aphex Twin did some of this. Maybe Royksopp? And I think there is band called Various Artists.
