An underwater temple to Cthulhu.
This is so far my favorite image that I made with Midjourney. An underwater temple for Cthulhu type of thing.

Recently, some dude won an art competition by submitting a picture that was created with AI software. He was open about the fact that he used AI software, so this wasn’t an attempt to trick anyone. Though, at the same time, it seems that the people judging the contest were unclear about the potential for this to happen, and may have decided differently if they were more informed.
