Midjourney may have built too good of a product before being ready to handle the consequences of what happens when people use it., the company has stopped giving out free trials to new users, citing “extraordinary demand and trial abuse.” David Holz, the founder and CEO of Midjourney, made the announcement on Discord, admitting that the company’s “new safeties for abuse … didn’t seem to be sufficient.
In addition to the announcement on Discord, Holz held a live session on the service where he admitted that the company was unsure how to handle how good the tool it created was. The CEO said that, at this point, the company could either go “full Disney or go full Wild West” when it comes to the realism of the images.
