I'm a writer with aphantasia. Wicked cool pattern recognition thanks to autism, but also, no mental images, and that made developing visual art skill difficult.

Now, with Midjourney, I can create images that are what I want to see, and I've gotten so good at it.

I work with MJ for the same reason as you, it's the most ethical use of the technology I've found, and they're actively working on the areas of concern.
