Midjourney is an interesting case study in this I think, building their product UI as a discord bot. It was interesting to be sure, but I always felt like I was fighting the "interface" to get things done. It certainly wasn't all bad, and I think if I used it more it might even be great, but as someone who doesn't use Discord other than that and only rarely generated images, I had to read the docs every time I wanted to generate an image, which is a ridiculous amount of friction.
There has recently been a pretty large UI inclusion for midjourney directly inside Discord which has the option of being used instead of the text input.
As is often the case in these sorts of thingsz your milage may vary for the more complex settings.
I'm curious if you find their new website interface more tractable--there's some inherent friction to the prompting in either case, but I'd like to know if the Discord chat interface can be overcome by using a different interface or if the issue is more intrinsic.
