MidJourney Free Trials Come to an End

Article: Midjourney ends free trials of its AI image generator due to 'extraordinary' abuse - Engadget

Then, they would have to subscribe to generate any more. But, MidJourney will now only allow people to either subscribe or they will not be able to create any images.

MidJourney has said that people using their system to create deceptive news-type photos is why they are doing this. They also say that they have been having trouble with deciding what content to not allow.
