In this episode, Drew and Rory dive headfirst into the unhinged world of Midjourney’s weirdest features—literally. They crank up --weird, mash it with --chaos, and see what kind of beautiful monstrosities the AI spits out. Spoiler: it gets funky.

They also explore the newly overhauled Editor, layering images like they're playing Photoshop on hard mode…with no rotate button. There’s confusion, breakthroughs, and the haunting realization that we may never fully understand the UI.

Come for the deep dives, stay for the self-inflicted pain of testing every slider combo known to mankind.

You'll learn:

→ When to use Weird and Chaos (and when not to)

→ How the new Editor, Smart Select, and layering really perform

→ Tricks for image editing, texture blending, and prompt precision

→ Why V6.1 might still be the unsung hero of editing

→ S-Ref folders, image-to-video workflows, and UI frustration

→ The rumors behind Super S-Refs, Creative Mode, and V8

In this episode of Midjourney Fast Hours, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn react to the brand new Midjourney V7 update—and things get weird (in the best way). Draft mode? Feels illegal. Personalization? Feels personal. Voice mode? Sounds like sorcery. They throw around hot takes, half-baked theories, and the occasional “wait, what just happened?” as they pick apart V7’s weird new powers and what it means for AI creativity.Somewhere between icon design tangents and ChatGPT hacks, they stumble into deeper questions about taste, tech, and whether artists are being replaced—or just upgraded. It’s messy, curious, and maybe smarter than it sounds.▶️ What you'll learn in this video:• First impressions of Midjourney V7• How Draft Mode compares to Turbo Mode• Voice Mode and the future of AI on mobile• The impact of V7 on image quality and creative workflows• ChatGPT x Midjourney integrations for better prompts• Use cases for icon design, marketing visuals, and AI avatars👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:What in V7 has you the most excited (or confused)?
