In March 2016, npm removed an 11-line package called left-pad. Within minutes, builds began failing across the JavaScript ecosystem. It broke thousands of projects, including tools like Babel. Many de

One of my favorite things about F1 racing is the data behind it. F1 cars are the most complex and advanced in any racing series. They collect huge amounts of telemetry data. The tracks also gather dat

I just returned from POST/CON 25, and I’m left with one big impression: Postman gets it. They get that we’re not just managing APIs. We’re building complex systems, and increasingly, those systems involve AI. And as AI technologies race ahead Postman...

Hello, friends! If you’re a reader of this blog you’ve probably heard about NVIDIA’s Jetson. It’s a great platform for prototyping apps and putting AI at the edge. I got lucky and got my hands on the newest, very affordable Jetson, the Jetson Orin Na...

OpenAI recently released the third version of DALL-E. Of course, the biggest news from this is the integration with ChatGPT. This could be a huge step forward in prompt creation. But we’re not going to focus on that part today. We will examine the output of Dall-E 3 and see if it’s better than Midjourney.
Recently, I’ve been using Midjourney more for image generation. Dall-E 2 was good, but not as good as Midjourney. Has that changed? Let’s throw a few simple prompts at it to see.


This first example is clear. Midjourney definitely looks better. More realistic and detailed. Our prompt may be too simplistic. Let’s try something else.


Okay, once again, Midjourney is blowing Dall-E out of the water. Neither look like a Looney Tunes cartoon, but Midjourney certainly comes closer.
Let’s take some prompts from “The 30 best Dall-E 2 prompts for amazing results” and see what we can come up with.




This one is a little closer. I like the Midjourney one better, but only because of the paintings’ additional detail and different framing. The angles and framing of the Dall-E renderings are dull, and the subject isn’t clear. But it’s fairly close.
Let’s try the #1 best prompt according to that article.


With this one, the style and the rendering of Dall-E 3 aren’t bad. It looks more like an actual painting. However, the Midjourney one is far more exciting and engaging.
Let’s try one of my favorite prompts: putting a 2005 Mustang GT Like mine in different settings.


The difference here is drastic. One certainly looks more like a 3D rendering than the other.
Midjourney still produces better images overall than Dall-E. However, this is my experience, and with enough prompt tuning, I’m confident someone can make a fool of me and generate a much better image with Dall-E. Also, the ChatGPT integration is a nice bonus. Being able to tweak prompts using advanced techniques makes all the difference.
