Update, 11//18: Here's what Midjourney did with a link to my photo plus 'hipster starfleet commander'.

Try it out yourself, and share results in Comments! If I get a cool batch, I'll share some others in a follow-up. I'm wondering about that too! You think there would have been the same backlash to Mark Zuckerberg's avatar if it was first created in Midjourney? 'I typically don't care about character customization in games,' as Nick writes, 'but now I wonder if that's only because it's never been easy/possible to make a character actually look like me in a game, whereas I'm rolling these characters and always having the feeling of 'oh - it would be cool to play this as a character in a game'.' Nick Yee is actually among the top experts in the power of avatars, so as you might have guessed, he's been thinking about how this approach might be used in games/MMOs/virtual worlds. 'I've just been pleasantly surprised that it gets 'asian' correct (without me specifying 'asian' in the prompt) and doesn't just make me white,' as Yee puts it. The results are pretty impressive, especially since AI image readers have a notorious problem with racial bias. (Or instead of Captain America/cyberpunk/etc., whatever evocative genre terms you want to use, of course.) Here's how you do that: Find a photo of yourself online, and then enter something like this into Midjourney's image prompt: The newest version has much stickier image-based prompting.' 'It was always possible to do image-based prompts in Midjourney,' Nick explained on social media recently, 'but they used to be treated very loosely and couldn't be used to replicate faces. The photo at top left is Nick Yee, founder of gamer market research firm Quantic Foundry the others are variations of Nick in different genres, as interpreted by Midjourney. The original instruction included brackets and quotation marks but those aren't necessary when communicating with Midjourney.
