I wanted to see if Midjourney also has a “hidden language” like DALL-E 2 in this post: https://programming.dev/post/102011

So I ran a little experiment.

I gave this prompt from the article to Midjourney:

Two farmers talking about vegetables, with subtitles --q 2

But it didn’t produce any text:

Then I tried this:

text logo of fitness company including motto --q 2

This gave me what I wanted: logos with text.

Then entered the nonsensical words from one of the logos:

FRVNE MIASE --q 2

This triggered an abuse detection filter which I appealed. Then Midjourney produced these equally nonsensical but absolutely wonderful images:

First I thought that the results had nothing to do with the original prompt, but if you look at the logo, it has mountains in it, so maybe “FRVNE MIASE” means mountain?

I don’t have more time to play around with this but if someone else can get further with it, I would love to see the results!

    I typed in more of the weird text from the logos with the following results:

    Prompt:

    FROTIE FIOLE --q 2

    Output:

    Prompt:

    NOTE MAMESE --q 2

    Output:

    Conclusion:

    While these are all beautiful images, they have nothing to do with either the original fitness prompt or the logos. Though the first prompt seems to consistently mean “frog”, and the second one “a girl playing music”.

    For both of these prompts, I received a warning from Midjourney:

    Action needed to continue

    Sorry! Our AI moderators feel your prompt might be against our community standards.

    If you think this is a mistake, please press the “Appeal” button below and we will send it to a more sophisticated AI to double-check the result. /imagine NOTE MAMESE --q 2

    And I had to appeal. I won’t do any more of these experiments because I don’t want them to ban me :D
