Welcome to 2024, my wonderful readers! As we begin a new year, I find myself reflecting on the progress made in the field of AI image generation in the past year.

Looking back on an article* I wrote in January 2023, where I compared 13 AI image generation tools, I am amazed at the incredible growth and development that has taken place in this space.

*If you’re interested, you can read the article I mentioned above.

As my New Year’s gift to you, I’d love to share my top favorite MidJourney images created throughout the past year. I’ve selected three images from each month in 2023 and provided their prompts, so you can see for yourself how rapidly AI image generation has transformed on MidJourney.

Let’s kick off the New Year with some stunning visuals! 🍭🎉
