That 'just add more prompts' advice was the worst thing I ever listened to

My buddy kept saying my AI images were bland because I wasn't typing enough detail, but after 3 months of writing 200-word paragraphs the output got worse, more chaotic, and now I just tell people to use one clear sentence and edit the rest.

Wait, did you actually try comparing your results side by side, like the same idea with a short prompt versus your long one, or are you just going off how it felt over those three months? Because I've seen a lot of people blame the prompt length when their real problem is they're trying to force the AI to do too much in one image, and the long text just makes it fight itself. Was the edit on the short ones actually cleaner, or just less stressful to deal with since there's less garbage to fix in the first place? I'm genuinely curious if you tracked any real numbers on this or if it's more about the burnout from typing all that nonsense.
