back when i was mucking about w. Wombo, i tried to get a little sailboat on stormy seas with a stormy sky inside a clear teacup - think 'storm in a teacup' - without much success... and i tried various phrases and changing the order of words and such...

so my question is as follows:

how much does the order of one's words play in the AI generator's understanding?

From the short time i've had with AI... ( compared to everything else i've used in the last 25 plus years ) In my honest opinion, i would say every aspect of a prompt has an impact on the end result, punctuation marks, capital letters, full stops, commas, colons, spelling and grammar, word positions, aspect ratio, the list goes on and on and on.... 

First image of "A storm in a teacup"...done couple of months ago...

Recent "A storm in a teacup"...refined and with more understanding....

I'd thought that and usually use commas,semi colons etc., but not sure now.  Watch this....

@Lenord

in terms of ideas, i've two words for ya, esp. given that you think "The kind with Fluorescent Tubes full of liquid and bubbles it was cool as he!!", and you like mushroom lights... hehe

two words: lava lamps... maybe even mixed with Gills love of lanterns :) [ok, so more than two words...]
 

I wanted the Cloudflare lava lamps but Deep Dream Generator gave me this

On a comperleeeetly different note.......shame Midge can't spell otherwise, these would have been perfect

se 

Just noticed #3 - Fie G Poo hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Some amazing looking jukeboxes, goona have to try some tweaks, muhahahaha... ;)

Lunaseas - Happy to share the lantern prompt, (Midjourney) you can change some words like' filigree' or 'volumetric lighting' to get a different look if you want.  I like to add a fancy room just to make Gill jealous, lol.  Have fun, hope you find some you like.  

magic lantern, filigree metal details, ornate study room, 4k octane beautifully detailed render, post-processing, hyperdetailed, intricate, epic composition, volumetric lighting, HDR, ray tracing, unreal engine, octane render, photorealistic

Now where did I put my dragon lava lamp...

Thought I read somewhere once that the bizarre spelling is deliberate, probably in an attempt to prevent what the companies deem "misuse". Same way they censor all sorts of things that very often make no sense at all. 

.........where's the soap gone now...i had it a second ago....

:giggles: Oh my! Is that an Elder God taking a bath in a teacup? Word gets out to the cult, he'll never live it down.

Found another Banned word in Mid-J this one I really don't get unless they consider it derogatory "Gypsy" I never thought  it so anyway, I substituted "Romanian" for Gypsy and got real close to what I envisioned.

Gypsy Woman...Santana 

the prompt

full body view of beautiful Romanian woman in a scarf head wrap black hair green eyes, photorealistic, hyper detailed, cinematic, volumetric lighting, 4k octane render, --ar 9:16 --q 5

Nothing like throwing a curve ball eh Darkglass, lol.  Baby Cthulhu getting into trouble at an early age...  ;)

A few dragon lava lamps while the jukebox plays a rock song or two...

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

I took the jukebox down some variations, a few starters for now, I'm sure I'll find more...  ;)

Started like this...

Then went that way...

Then a few tweaks later...

In this last one, my tech team has finally found and captured some spirits who can sing every song ever, just like the original.  Hi-fi stereo music fills the room from the surround sound liquid membrane dragon speaker system.  The song selection is done with just a thought and a drop of blood from a finger.  Keeps the tune all personal and all...  ;)

Johny Cash - Ring Of Fire

Also thanks to everyone for the helpful tips and links!  Nothing better than getting better eh...  ;)

I wonder how many lava lamp malfunctions have happened in the life time of the lava lamp...  

another Stable Diffusion video using  DAZ image series

Wombo doesn't mind the word gypsy

and wombo also produced this with 'gypsy ... etc' in the prompt:

I found out about gypsy a few months ago when I wanted a hippy type wearing a "gypsy top"  

Those lamps just make my day hahaaaaaaaaaa

Funny thing is that my prompt didn't mention dragons....they just appeared as if by magic !

ornate magic lava lantern, intricate, volumetric,hyperrealistic --v 4

Does anyone mess around the the daily theme on MJ?

Yesterday's....which was just image based and it was "pick and mix add your own prompt to it" kinda thing.  My prompt was a bit weird, seen on the discord page and modified

https://s.mj.run/Be13A6p7pyQ painted colourful Steampunk Candyland Fantasy World Village on LSD, trippy, futuristic Hot Air Balloons, fantasy plants, intricate detail , vivid colours, --ar 16:9 --chaos 50 -

Tried rhol's prompt for the lanterns in Playground.  Got nothing resembling a lantern, did get a lot of very ornate golden rooms, though.  lol

Playground did not mind gypsy either.  

Lovely.  Does really soft portraits

Thought I'd have a tryout on Playground AI - first time on this.  Not too bad.  

1st pic is Playground, 2nd pic is same prompt in MJ

prompt: water colour painting of duck swimming in a pond being followed by a line of little ducklings pond surrounded by wildlife and nature

Looking good Gill...also read a couple of people using blue willow in the genpop...

Nothing like throwing a curve ball eh Darkglass, lol.  Baby Cthulhu getting into trouble at an early age...  ;)

Frozen....

I tried the prompt of the ducks.  Had to change the ducks to mama duck and baby ducks.     You get such great detail with the simple prompt in MidJ, takes a lot of fiddling to get any where near in Playground.  

Gotta be brave to go exploring in there, Darkglass.  Very eerie mood.

I tried Blue Willow for a while but the quality is bad unless it's improved.  Had an invite when they started up.

Here's something to get your teeth into....circumpolar photography a la MidJ

No i don't think the quality has improved....that's cool, interesting effects, may give that a go at some point...

Your Epic Quest Begins Here..... you will need to find some oars first, or you won't be going anywhere...!!

........is that a cappuccino or a latte....

Only the gods know your fate....

Emerald Sorceress....

........is that a cappuccino or a latte....

Full day working on that damm Bike my knuckles look like I was in a Bar Fight. I hate working on Brakes they're the definition of having skin in the game, or leaving skin in the game. trying to get into some Mid-J now I had a request from Lou to do a cat no less, a Persian with a Lion cut when I asked why she said she was thinking about getting one, Oh Great another critter to have to teach ZoSo not to eat.

Trying out some stuff in a Prompt Tut on YT and the double ::  seemed to create Randomness more than anything I told the AI to do...I told it to do a Viking style Starship roaming the galaxy and got these ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a different style that I have been working on:

Lunaseas:  Excellent.  

This is what I was expecting using my normal punctuation separating thoughts.

Using the double colon instead is a Randomizer of the image it seems to me, I'm not saying it's Bad just not exactly what you told the AI to do.

The same prompt using :: instead of ,

Samurai Aliens

Dragons in a cave...Last thought for tonight

Fluffy cats need a regular clipping especially around the nether regions as they get dingleberries

(fluffy dogs do too)

Don't blame me Mid-j did the cutting

Everyone doing some super nice stuff!  I'm enjoying all the different places, styles and people you're all finding, keep em coming...  :)

I'm thinking about redoing the office space...  ;)

I get it yer DR. Detesto(R) in his mountain lair plotting the Re-Election of Donald J, Stump(r)...

Thought I'd do the Great Grey Owl, saw a lot of Owls in the short forests up north outside Ft. Nelson BC. Back in the "Muskeg" you can only work it when it's frozen cause when it's thawed it's basically swamp, a Seismic Cut line is a great curiosity to wild life in the Vicinity Moose(huge scary looking Beasts) Wolves Owls. Between the Owls and the Hawks and the rare Eagle I thought the Owl was the Superpredator of the bunch, Hawks were like Stealth Fighters sweeping in on the cutline and grabbing a Rabbit or Rat and flying off with it. I've seen an owl sit in the open and watch seemingly unseen by it's prey then suddenly spring grabbing a Rat and rip it in half on the way back to the same perch to feast. Fascinating things you see when office is the Northern Wilds of Canada, the True "working remotely".
