Today's bonus episode features a tool review article by this podcast's producer, Curt Robbins. It examines the utility of the text-to-image generator for technical communicators and various business sizes.
The review praises Midjourney's artistic quality and speed for creating conceptual visuals, but strongly critiques its inability to generate coherent embedded text and its lack of precise control, making it less suitable for accurate technical diagrams.
Additionally, the source article includes a user comment comparing Midjourney to other AI image tools like Ideogram and Gemini. This highlights the common AI struggle with spelling and specific formatting. The overall context is a professional discussion among technical writers about adopting AI tools for content creation.
"It will not be AI that takes away the job of a technical writer, but rather another technical writer with deep AI skills," said Robbins.
I am currently taking on new clients. I enjoy helping companies with their documentation and communications strategy and implementation. Contact me to learn about my reasonable rates and fast turnaround. — Curt
