Midjourney finally has a serious competitor. DALL·E 3 from OpenAI is absolutely amazing! It is much more precise than Midjourney, which means it relies heavily on your prompt and will generate images based solely on your description. It can even generate perfectly readable text on images! You can use DALLE 3 for free in Bing Image Creator, and it is also available inside ChatGPT for Plus users and in Bing Chat. It’s time to compare DALLE 3 with Midjourney and find out which one is the best AI Image generator!

Midjourney vs DALL·E 3

Both DALLE 3 and Midjourney perform well visually. Despite that, if you analyze the prompts more thoroughly you will see that Midjourney misses a lot of details that are described in the prompt but do not appear in the image.

Midjourney’s photorealistic images are simply amazing. The faces look real, the environments are authentic, and the lighting is as it should be. While DALLE 3 produces images with greater precision, faces look weird, unrealistic, and the lighting is off-putting.

Despite that, DALLE seems to handle inanimate objects quite well, almost as well as Midjourney.

Both DALLE and Midjourney handle abstract images well. The difference is that Midjourney tries to make the images more photorealistic, while DALLE takes them closer to the classic abstract style.

The same goes for pop art. Midjourney really tries to create images that resemble pop art, and DALLE 3 creates images that perfectly fit the pop art style.

Pixel art is a complete miss for Midjourney. No matter how hard I tried to tweak the prompt, it refused to generate anything even close to pixel art and generated images that looked more cartoonish and mosaic.

Also, one of the biggest advantages of DALLE compared to other AI art generators is that it can generate perfectly readable text on images. Midjourney can generate some random letters but nothing meaningful.

Overall, I think DALL E 3 is more impressive than Midjourney v5.2 so far. The most important thing an AI image generator should try to achieve is to create an output image exactly as the user imagined it in their head and described it in their prompt. At this point, DALLE 3 is very accurate, it can generate almost every detail in your prompt and logically link them together. Midjourney is undoubtedly best for creating photorealistic faces or environments, but it still sometimes doesn’t create the details you want, no matter how hard you try. This situation may change as Midjourney v6 and the Midjourney website are said to be released in the coming months. We’ll keep you updated on our website as well as our awesome YouTube channel!
