Prompting Part 1 Prompt Length and Tags

Sometimes you beat the AI over the head with CFG, weights, steps, and Clip Skip but it just won't generate what you want. In that case, my friends, the issue is at the source, the prompt. In this post, I'll try to alleviate some of the common pain points and save the more complicated stuff for later. FIRSTLY, the most common issue I've seen is PROMPT LENGTH. While many assume a longer prompt equals more detail, the opposite is typically true. Most AIs (excluding stable diffusion) struggle with descriptive prompts. If your prompt is longer than a paragraph or so you're risking the AI getting lost. What should you use instead? TAGS! Danbooru wiki, https://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages is INVALUABLE! Using these tags, you can give the AI a short, exact description of what you want. If you're using an artistic style it also contains a wealth of artists for you to use. Examples: instead of "there are two men who are kissing," use "2 boys, kissing," this lets you save a lot of space and translates your intent into something more legible to the AI.
