We advise Midjourney from age 16 and up. Overall risk 6/10 (medium risk).
- 13-15
- At this age, users might begin experimenting with basic text prompts to generate images, potentially encountering the public Discord channels where all user-generated content is visible.
- 16+
- Older users may delve into more complex prompting techniques, explore advanced features like 'remix' mode, and participate in the Midjourney community, which could expose them to a wider range of user-created images and discussions.
