Dropped $15 on a Midjourney subscription for one month and got nothing but nightmare fuel

I figured I'd try that AI art mashup generator everyone's been talking about, threw in 15 bucks for a month, and spent three hours feeding it prompts like 'elephant made of cheese' only to get back some blob with eyes. Now I've got a folder full of deformed animals and a 15 dollar hole in my wallet. Did anyone actually get a good mashup out of this thing or is it just me?

Man I bet half the problem is those prompts are too vague. You gotta be super specific about art styles or it just throws random garbage at you.

Yeah thats true, @nancy475. I was messing around with one the other day trying to get a specific kind of sunset and it kept spitting out these weird neon colors. Finally I just typed "oil painting, 1970s, kinda hazy, like a faded postcard" and it actually got close. You really gotta treat it like it doesnt know what you mean unless you spell every little thing out.

Whoa wait, oil painting AND 1970s AND faded postcard all in one prompt? That is wild that it actually worked! I guess these things really do need you to paint a whole picture with words before they stop giving you weird neon nonsense.
