Bye, Splatterprompting. We Hardly Knew You.
The era of text-to-image prompts filled with dozens of descriptors is over. These days, it's better to start with simple prompts and build them up gradually.
Eons ago, in the distant era of September 2022, Stable Diffusion was just entering the AI art scene.
In those ancient times, a group of wise elders emerged from the shadows, shrouded in mystery. They roamed the land crafting powerful, elaborate text prompts.
They were…the Splatterprompters.
These enigmatic visionaries recited secret incantations that only they were privy to.
“Hyperdetailed, extremely detailed, highly detailed, insane detail,” they’d whisper.
“4K, UHD, ultra-high resolution, 16K render,” they’d mutter.
“Sorry, I don’t share my prompts,” they’d reply to those foolish enough to ask.
But as AI models evolved and became capable of generating great images from really basic prompts, the influence of Splatterprompters began to shrink. They tried to hold on to their now-redundant practices but saw themselves made increasingly irrelevant.
Let’s see what we can learn from their sad fate.
