What you used to think
- "AI images are useless for anything with text — logos, ads, mockups"
- "I always need a designer to fix the garbled letters"
- "Midjourney is powerful but Discord is a pain"
What's actually true now
- ✓Headlines, product names, and CTAs render correctly in generated images
- ✓Social cards, ad mockups, and presentations ship without Photoshop
- ✓A proper web editor makes Midjourney accessible to non-Discord users
What to do about it
Try generating a social media card or product mockup with real text in Midjourney v7. If the result is 90% there, you just saved a designer round-trip.
