Why top creators still pick Midjourney: taste is the only moat in AI image generation
EXM7777 · x · 2026-10-18
An X creator argues that top creators stick with Midjourney despite "better" models on paper because it captures the vibe and aesthetic you envision, not just literal accuracy. With studio-quality generation available to everyone, the differentiators are imagination (knowing what's worth generating) and taste (recognizing when a result nails your vision). Developing creative vision, he argues, is one of the highest-leverage skills right now.
