You explained everything so logically and in such great detail and your visuals made it so much easier to comprehend than many others I've watched. You're a NBT--Natural Born Teacher. Thank you!

Aa i read some of the comments it seems that a lot of artists are discouraged or even fearful of AI technology. instead of embracing or enhancing their craft they view AI Art as a threat. But this is life and life is about change and all those who do not learn to adapt get crushed and those that do flourish. Never give up your craft because of fear utilize your imagination to enhance your creativity. And stop being afraid of life embrace it and use this tool to expand your skills

Hey so I've been trying to get MidJourney to create some designs based off of a balisong but it never works. Even when I use an example picture, it disconfigures it and takes the pieces apart and moves them all around in a weird way every time I try it. Do you know of any way to fix this? Thanks in advance

It could, although it will be a lot more difficult - the more details you want Midjourney to get right the harder it will be. My example was a very basic composition, thus the results were very similar. Give it a try!
