Stable Diffusion 3 vs ChatGPT Dalle-3 vs Midjourney [NEW Best Image Generator?]
Film & Animation
Introduction
In a recent exploration of AI-powered image generation tools, we conducted a comparison of three prominent models: Stable Diffusion 3, ChatGPT DALL-E 3, and Midjourney. Using the same prompts across all three platforms, we ranked the results based on three factors: detail, adherence to the prompt, and the overall “coolness” factor.
Prompt 1: A Cinematic Photo of a Red Apple
Stable Diffusion 3 rendered a clear image of a red apple on a classroom table with the phrase "go big or go home” on the blackboard. While it adhered well to the prompt, some critics noted it lacked a high “coolness” factor typically sought in artistic interpretations.
Midjourney produced a visually appealing image but the apple lacked detail and realism. The phrase on the blackboard was not well-executed, but the stylization increased its coolness.
ChatGPT DALL-E 3 presented a stunning interpretation, with excellent typography and dramatic lighting. The apple was rendered with great clarity, making it the favorite among the three for this prompt.
Prompt 2: Astronaut Riding a Pig
For this more whimsical prompt, Stable Diffusion 3 performed admirably, creating a coherent scene with all prompt elements correctly aligned. The style was also very appealing.
Midjourney, however, went with a street art style that departed from the prompt but impressed in terms of quality. It visually captured certain elements well, albeit with odd proportions.
DALL-E 3 struggled with executing this prompt effectively, producing images that didn’t align with the required specifications.
Prompt 3: Close-up of a Chameleon
In generating a close-up photo of a chameleon against a black background, Stable Diffusion 3 created an exceptionally detailed image, showcasing impressive textures and colors.
Midjourney did equally well with this prompt, offering a vibrant image that celebrated the wildlife aspect wonderfully.
DALL-E 3 also showcased a beautiful interpretation, with each model achieving high marks for detail and stylistic flair.
Prompt 4: Nostalgic Computer Scene
The nostalgic prompt about a 90s desktop computer revealed Stable Diffusion's strengths in generating realistic scenes. However, it fell short on stylization.
Midjourney delivered a gritty and stylized image, fitting the nostalgic vibes yet lacking in text clarity.
In contrast, DALL-E 3 captured the nostalgic UI and background graffiti text efficiently, earning accolades for its coolness factor.
Prompt 5: Transparent Glass Bottles
Stable Diffusion 3 struggled with this complex prompt involving glass bottles and liquids. It faced challenges in adherence to the colors specified.
Midjourney had similar issues with color representation and getting the arrangement right, but delivered a visually attractive result.
DALL-E 3 above all else excelled, producing a stylish interpretation with accurate colors and details that matched the prompt.
Prompt 6: Embroidered Cloth with a Candle
In exploring a cozy scene with an embroidered cloth, Stable Diffusion 3 managed to render a lovely image with detailed embroidery but had tamed lighting.
Midjourney produced a less faithful rendition but captured an inviting atmosphere.
DALL-E 3 displayed beautiful artistry with vibrant details, making it a favorite for this prompt.
Prompt 7: Sports Car at Night
For the night car scene, Stable Diffusion maintained a clear depiction of speed and clarity but didn't quite capture the essence of the prompt.
Midjourney shined here, showcasing exciting visuals with effective neon highlights and adherence to text.
DALL-E 3 struggled, not delivering adequate representations of the car’s details and motion.
Prompt 8: Horse Balancing on a Ball
In the animal prompt, Stable Diffusion created a realistic image that maintained the prompt requirements effectively.
Midjourney faltered due to a less realistic portrayal of the horse and ball dynamics.
DALL-E 3 provided an imaginative rendition that departs from realism but captured a playful aesthetic.
Final Thoughts
Throughout our evaluation, it became evident that Stable Diffusion 3 excelled in accuracy and realism while DALL-E 3 showcased superior artistic flair, particularly in text handling. Midjourney delivered intriguing visuals but consistently struggled with text generation. For those seeking style and creativity without concern for strict adherence to prompts, DALL-E 3 is a formidable contender. Conversely, for accuracy and adherence, Stable Diffusion remains a robust option.
