> Composition is usually boring (very center-aligned and symmetrical) and if you try to control it by using words like "camera", it will put cameras in the picture half the time.

- Be more descriptive and specific with your prompts. I always add "shot from afar" or "wide-angled" or "shot with 85mm lens" - never had an issue of boring composition.

> Typical AI failure modes: "anime" generates a kind of commercial/fanart style that doesn't exist rather than frames from a TV show.

- Again, be more descriptive and specific with your prompts. ie; 'a character in the style of 'Naruto'. Need to specify the show or artists instead of using the broad term "anime".

> You can't generate things if they're hard to explain in English, like "a keyboard whose keys are house keys".

- One more time, you just need to be more specific. do: 'a computer keyboard, but instead of regular keys, replace each one with a metal house key.'




DALLE3 is explicitly designed around not having to do this; the point is that it'll write the detailed prompt for you in four different ways so you get more variation.

"Wide angle" and "fisheye" do work, but "lens" is dangerous; anything that can be read as an object will tend to cause that object to appear instead of being used metaphorically. (Though trying a bit more, that doesn't usually happen, if only because it rewrites the prompt to not mention it.)

Explicitly against the rules. It'll block you if you try to use any real person's name or anything it thinks is copyrighted. You can paraphrase though, or argue with it which weirdly sometimes works.

Tried it, doesn't work well. If it gets to dalle it's not smart enough to reliably do "instead of" (or generally anything that's a "deletion"). It'll just put in all three concepts.

Synonyms can help if there is one in English. Emoji do interesting things but can't tell how well they work.
