Showerthought: I was sure my AI image prompts needed to be super detailed

A friend in Austin looked at my stuff and said, 'You're overloading it, try just three clear words.' I swapped my paragraph-long prompts for simple ones like 'cyberpunk rainy street' and the results got way better, honestly. What's the shortest prompt that's ever worked well for you guys?

So we're all just paying for supercomputers to ignore most of what we type? My best one was just "big sad frog." Looked like a professional cartoon. I guess the trick is to stop treating the prompt box like a therapy session.

Big sad frog" got you a pro cartoon? I've been writing whole paragraphs for garbage.

Yeah, it's weird how that works. I once spent an hour describing a fantasy castle and got a blurry mess. Then I got mad and just typed "mossy stone well, glowing" and it was perfect, like straight out of a game. Makes you feel a bit silly.
