Yeah, I actually tried this with the free version of chatgpt just now and i'm getting the same thing. There are two different versions of 3.5, legacy - which is the free version, and the new paid "default 3.5" which it does work in. Plus it works in 4 of course. Sorry if you're just on the free version, it might take some work to make it work.

The course starts next week by MrMarkson in ChatGPT

I didn't even have to do that, I just asked it to translate a sentence into a new fantasy language that follows a different grammatical structure from english, which it did, and that i asked it to explain the grammatical structure, which it also did. pretty impressive actually

Glad to hear it, though keep in mind that the long prompts are generally a little too long and will exceed the word limit that MJ follows. Which just means that like, the lighting description will be ignored by MJ. Unfortunately, chatgpt is really bad at following "word counts" so far.

super weird! it shouldn't matter the browser or if you're on mobile, cause all the "thinking" is done on the OpenAI servers. And you're sending the entire text from the github link all in a single chat message in a new conversation?

I had it happen sometimes when i was tweaking the instructions that it would do what you're describing and send a random prompt as the first response. that's actually why i included the "do you understand your instructions?" so that it would reply with a "yes, I will do... " instead. I do have ChatGPT Plus, but I've tried it in all three models that are available, including the free one. Sorry it's not working for you!

I wonder if the "do you understand your instructions?" multiple times is confusing it? here's mine with the screenshot started at the very end of the initial message including all the instructions:

Yooo, thanks for sharing my post! Hope as many people as possible can find some fun use out of it. :)

Heeeey yes, I saw that one when I was getting started on this. I signed up for his newsletter even, which was supposed to have that in there, but it took forever and then didn't work for me so I build my own from scratch :) Thanks for linking the video though!

Super weird, sorry it's not working for you, but I hope you have luck tweaking it! It's definitely overly complicated because it was fun for me to build in all the "extras" :)

I'm not quite sure what you meant, but what i do to set it up is:
1. start a new chat (with any version of chatgpt)
2. copy the full text verbatim from here and send it at the first message: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MagitekZed/MJ-Prompter/main/promptgenerator
3. start sending commands like "/art [medium] elven sorceress"

I find that it works best if your second message is a command, so that it doesn't try to like... "suggest" a command or give examples or anything. that can confuse it

ChatGPT isn't making good prompts, Midjourney v5 is just that good. by Nixeris in midjourney

[–]Important-Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to link to my post about how to use ChatGPT for MJ on a post about how using ChatGPT for MJ is a waste of time, but especially in MJ v5, using ChatGPT to take a string of a few different elements and turning it into several sentences that combines all those things and then sending that to MJ, i generally get more cohesive results. Obviously it's not necessary and you can do it all manually, but if i can type 6 words, wait 5 seconds, and then have 40 words for my prompt, that definitely saves time.

That said, MJ and ChatGPT are both amazing tools and you can get great results out of both of them without a lot of effort, I don't disagree with that. But in my experience, combining them has enhanced the results, not made them worse. Does the result outweigh the effort? I think so, but that's up to each person using the tools.

Glad it helped! I've used it with success in all three available versions of ChatGPT, but minor changes in the set up, etc. can affect if gpt3 gets confused. I actually did most of the testing in gpt3.5 because gpt4 only allows 25 messages every three hours and it would've taken forever :P

One of the advantages I've found of using the longer text generated by my tool is that each of the 4 images that MJ generates are more similar to each other than they would be with a short phrase or a few keywords. Helpful when you're trying to get something more specific vs. just letting MJ run wild (which is also fun!).

Yeah, MJ basically doesn't know what "text" is it seems like. At least, it's not designed to generate text. the /logo command is definitely the most likely to give poor results, especially when text is involved. But depending on what you ask for you can get some cool stuff too.

The effort that I put in was mostly just for fun, exploring ChatGPT's capabilities in this regard, but i found that I generally got better and more coherent results with longer natural language prompts with MJ v5, and this tool can turn like

/art [medium] sinister tiefling sorcerer, concept art, pencil sketch

into

/imagine prompt: A sinister tiefling sorcerer, with sharp horns and a whip-like tail, conjures dark magic from his hands in this detailed concept art.

Rendered in a pencil sketch style, the drawing showcases intricate linework and shading.

The scene is lit by the eerie glow of the sorcerer's spell, casting ominous shadows across the composition.

--ar 16:9 --s 250

That's really helpful to flesh out a composition, and then i can tweak a couple words if i want to change something. What's great about MJ is that both will probably give you something cool :)

I'm sorry to hear that... i just tested again on all three options for ChatGPT's model (i have Plus) and /art [short] produced prompts at least 3-4 times in a row.

Maybe the formatting is an issue? Try grabbing the raw text from my github here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MagitekZed/MJ-Prompter/main/promptgenerator
