On our site, readers can occasionally encounter updates about how neural networks function. This is how we illustrated Midjourney’s interpretation of gameplay ideas for GTA 6 and our speculation about a potential second part of “Stalker.” Midjourney is the neural network behind these experiments, an AI known for producing surprising results. We decided to run a test — sharing thirty striking images generated by the network in response to our prompts.
We fed the model with well-known game and movie titles, character names, and a variety of other prompts. The outcomes are thought-provoking. In some cases, the network closely reflected a human artist’s impression of the phrase, while in many instances the results wandered far from the original game or film reference.
Examples of how a neural network works
We publish the generated artwork alongside the exact prompts the networks used to create them.

How to Make Drawings Using the Midjourney Neural Network – Guide
- Sign up for Discord.
- Explore the Midjourney Discord channel.
- Open a newbies text channel.
- Type /imagine and enter the words the network will use to draw the image. The prompt can be anything and should be in English.
- You will see results in roughly 15 seconds.
All work is stored on the site. Only 25 arts are free to generate. If there is a desire to continue without payment, a new Discord account can be created.
