The big idea
When you ask AI to make a picture, the more details you give, the cooler the image gets. Don't just say 'cat'. Say 'a fluffy orange cat wearing a cowboy hat sitting on a watermelon at sunset'. Now THAT'S a picture.
Some examples
- 'Dog' = boring. 'A puppy wearing pajamas reading a comic book' = awesome.
- Add a setting: 'in a forest', 'on a beach', 'in space'.
- Add a feeling: 'happy', 'spooky', 'magical'.
- Add an art style: 'cartoon', 'pixel art', 'watercolor'.
Try it!
Take a basic prompt like 'a tree'. Make it amazing by adding 5 details. Read it out loud — does it paint a picture in your mind? AI works the same way!
