Midjourney v8.1 Produces Images with Three Arms, Three Legs, Two Heads

Midjourney’s latest version 8.1, released in early 2026, is reported to consistently generate images with anatomical anomalies, including three arms, three legs, and two heads. A user on Reddit has documented the issue across multiple runs and states the problem persists after several billing cycles. The glitch appears to affect all image generations, regardless of prompt complexity. No official patch or fix has been announced by Midjourney as of the latest update. The user has decided to cancel the subscription before the next billing cycle.

This bug highlights a potential regression in Midjourney’s image synthesis engine, raising concerns for clients relying on consistent output for marketing or creative projects. While the issue is not critical to the platform’s core functionality, it undermines trust in the AI’s reliability. Users are advised to monitor Midjourney’s support channels for any forthcoming fixes or workarounds.
