Used to spend hours tweaking prompts for AI art, now I just type one line
Back in 2022 when I first got into AI art, I was writing these huge prompt paragraphs with all kinds of specific style keywords and negative prompts. My last one had like 80 words, stuff like 'octane render, trending on ArtStation, intricate details, cinematic lighting' and I still got garbage results half the time. Then last week I typed 'a cat wearing a cowboy hat, ugly' into an image generator at a friend's house in Chicago, and it came out perfect first try. My buddy just laughed and said I was overthinking the whole thing. Now I keep my prompts under 10 words and get way better pictures than when I was writing novels. Anyone else notice their best results come from the simplest inputs?

My buddy typed 'sad robot in rain' and got a masterpiece that looked like it took hours to paint.

Are you finding that the simpler stuff works better because you're not forcing a specific style, or just because the newer models are better at reading your mind?
