Wow, Midjourney is pretty quickly closing the gap with DALL-E 3 on text generation! I think the biggest thing that keeps me coming back to DALL-E 3 is the convenience; I'm already using GPT-4 on a daily basis, and it's baked into the cost of my ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Yup. I think Midjourney's still inferior in responding to very specific minor details in a prompt and the text isn't quite on par with DALL-E 3. But like you said: The gap is closing.

As much of a Midjourney fan as I am though, I think ChatGPT Plus is simply far better value for money for 90% of people. Unlimited Midjourney is $30 per month. With ChatGPT Plus for $20 you get DALL-E 3, Code Interpreter, GPT-4, and Vision (image recognition). That's an excellent all-in-one package, and having all of these available in a single chat is also extremely convenient.

So unless you're after high-end photographic images, ChatGPT Plus is the way to go.

Do you ever use the Android (or just mobile) version of AI tools? I really don't (apart from super narrow stuff like occasional voice to text or fast research). Any serious work, I grab a laptop or desktop.

Just like you, I mostly use ChatGPT app for voice. I'm generally hesitant to get apps for any service that I can access via a mobile browser anyway (ahem, Substack).

Oh hey, I don't use the ChatGPT app. I use a laptop and use the web version every time. But I also don't really use ANY generative AI on my phone at all. Not yet, anyway.

I think the only way to use voice chat with ChatGPT is the app actually. It's not available on the web, no matter if it's from laptop or smartphone. If that wasn't the case, I probably wouldn't need the app at all.

I'm sure it'll all be available from all interfaces eventually, but for now, I'm good with not needing to use ChatGPT all the time, everywhere I go.

For now.
