Negative Prompt

The Negative Prompt feature serves as a way to guide the AI away from creating certain types of images or content. It essentially tells the AI what not to include or focus on in the generated image.

For example, if you're using an AI to generate images of landscapes, but you don't want any images of beaches, you could use a negative prompt such as beaches", or "sand, water". This helps the AI understand your preferences and constraints, allowing it to generate images that align more closely with your intended outcome.

Here are some examples:

Prompt: An assortment of colourful candies like Smarties or M&Ms, neatly arranged on a rustic wooden table.

Negative Prompt: –

Here are some tips to get the most of the feature:

  • Try to use more than one keyword to describe what you do not want.

  • Be as precise as possible without providing excessive detail.

  • It's often simpler and more effective to design prompts to avoid using negative prompts, rather than the opposite approach.

If your negative prompt doesn't seem to be working, try to determine whether there is anything in the prompt that might interfere with or contradict your negative prompt. The content of the regular prompt will always be favoured over the negative prompt. For example, a prompt asking for a classical guitar will almost always imply a guitar with strings. Trying to generate a guitar without strings could prove difficult.
