Today we’re taking a look at a new feature command in Midjourney: Weird! As odd as it may seem, there are a lot of really interesting uses for this new command, although it is helpful in generating unconventional Midjourney images.
We’ll also get to experiment with commands like Stylize, Vary, and Chaos, which further augment the effects of Weird in some very cool ways. Plus, I’m taking another look at the hidden power of the Shorten Command!

1 min ago holy shit the Algorithms are in your favor today, sir!
Chaos doesn't change the images it just changes how different the 4 generations are to each other
In response to a question in a recent Midjourney Q/A, the /shorten interpreter is an approximation of MJ’s engine, not the actual engine. As a result, supposedly ineffectual tokens in a prompt can actually have some impact on an image. Apparently there is too steep of a falloff in token importance. I hope this is rebalanced at some point, so that the parenthesized values under "Interportant Tokens" can be easily recycled into prompts where you manually tweak the keyword importance using :: syntax.
Talk about serendipity. I was testing the word "greebles" in generations this morning and now here it is in you latest video. Such wild coincidences. 🤣🤯
Another great video, Tim. I appreciate all your hard work. Speaking of 80s TTRPG sourcebook images, I've been using Midjourney a lot lately to generate battlemaps for my homebrew Pathfinder campaign. Even just a few months ago it was pretty lackluster with generating those images, but into 5.2 now I'm getting very workable and interesting maps for doing up battles and city maps on the fly. Something worth looking at, if you are into that at all, and I'd love to see your tips and tricks with prompts in regards to RPG settings and images.
Awesome 🤟👍🤟
thank you
I'm a bit confused as to the photograph you're adding before the weird parameter.
Additionally, if you dare, inegrate gpt api calls into your MJ and automate with some params in advance, and you'll really start seeing some STRANGE things. You can build a little app and do interactive kb and auto chat with itself and it learns and you come back and go "What in the world were you doing while I was gone". Python utilities, db utilities….you can create and query a db table with various prompts, mix them up and spit it out.
Yea, AI is crazy right now.
what's the best image to image ai art generator for a stealth mode please
please give us the thumbnail in full resolution!!
The "weird feature" looks like Leonardo AI or Midjourney 3 outputs…god awful!
Let's get weird!!! 3000! Let's go!!
Weird at 2000 looks like a good Dixit card generator!
weird is chaos on steroids!
As for the shorten command, I honestly think it has a while to go before I would encourage anyone to burn fast hours using it. It has almost ignored (0.01 in the show details section) words and terms like 'depth of field'. In the images though, 'depth of field' almost always affects the outcome. So I'm excited about it, and will be even more excited if/when they introduce '–improve'.
Thank you for the excellent video- didn't know about 'imagine all'. 👍
In painting in midjourney? how are they gonna manage that one, wouldn't you need a real UI for that kind of thing rather than Discord?
Brother your videos only keep getting better! Thank you for all your hard-work!
Thanks for the video, was wondering how weird worked exactly
Weird = loss of coherence. I like the concept of introducing weirdness but not at the expense of coherence. Hopefully it will get tweaked.
I’ve been watching an insane amount of AI art tutorials as of late and your channel is by far the one I find most useful. Keep up the good work.

You were born to do this mate, I love how articulate you are. Great content served up in a wonderful form.
The /shorten prompt is only useful for the current prompt. For instance, for one prompt, it may use your prompted artist 'Jackson Pollack,' but in another /shorten prompt, you will find his name lined out, as MJ did not use it in that specific image. So, a /shorten line-out does not mean MJ doesn't 'recognize' a word, it just means it doesn't always use the terms you give it.
