Want a photorealistic image of a Caribbean woman—think glossy magazine cover, dynamic pose, cinematic lighting, ultra-high resolution, and soft film grain?
Today, you can get exactly that by typing a prompt into an AI. But rewind just a few years, and this would’ve sounded like science fiction.
Take Midjourney, one of the leading AI image generators. Here’s how fast it’s moving:
- V1 – February 2022
- V2 – April 2022
- V3 – July 2022
- V4 – November 2022
- V5 – March 2023
- V6 – December 2023
- V7 – April 2025
In just three years, Midjourney leapt from version 1 to version 7—each iteration bringing massive leaps in realism, detail, and artistic control.
This pace isn’t just fast. It’s exponential. The gap between imagination and reality is closing—fast.
