With the launch of version 5 of Midjourney, this platform has only confirmed that its Artificial Intelligence to generate images is the most complete on the market, a platform that, since its launch in mid-2022, was available for free at through his Discord channel.
Midjourney version 5 is capable of generate photorealistic images based on a natural language description, and that was rumored to have been used to generate the controversial images of Donald Trump being arrested and the white jacket worn by Pope Francis.
Artificial Intelligence not only allows us to generate any text or image based on a description. For several years, it has been widely used for generate deepfakesvideos created based on an existing one where the image of the protagonist is replaced by another using AI as a base, so that it fits perfectly.
The head of Midjourney came out to deny those rumors, stating that the new version of Midjourney is not available to users of the free version. However, for more than a week, Midjourney has stopped offering users the free plan that it offered and currently, the only way to access its AI is by checking out.

The reason that Midjourney argues for canceling the free version is the increase in demand from users who want to use this platform to generate images, a demand that was affecting users who do have a payment plan with Midjourney and who can have access to the new version of this AI.
Midjourney makes 3 subscription plans available to all users to use its Artificial Intelligence using the latest version available, version 5:
- BASIC. The basic plan is priced at 8 euros per month with annual billing or 10 dollars with monthly billing. It allows to generate up to 200 images per month.
- stardard. This plan, if we opt for the annual billing, is priced at $24 and $30 if we opt for the monthly subscription and there is no limit to generate images with a maximum limit of 3 quick generations at a time.
- Pro. For $48 per month in the annual plan or for 60 if we want to hire individual months, we can generate an unlimited number of images and work on up to 12 quick projects at the same time.
So far, this AI has not imposed no restriction at the time of generating any type of deepfake, so it is likely that we will continue to see fake images related to current affairs and that have probably been generated with Midjourney, although sooner rather than later, the company will be forced to establish a usage limit regarding the generation of images of public figures, as has been the case of Donald Trump and Pope Francis.
