    well engineered prompts are like a dive into the “psychology” of whatever AI tool you are using. I like the ones that go like “whatever you do, don’t put an elephant in the picture”

      And then an elephant appears because “elephant” is a word in the prompt.

      It’s interesting because in some ways it’s as if the AI models have a “peekaboo” level of understanding of the world.

      If your prompt says something like “a man’s face is hidden behind his hands”, the model goes “aha, I see the word face, I better draw a face”, so you have to get tricky and say “a man’s hands are held up covering up the frontal area of his head”.
