This image was generated using Stable Diffusion v1.5 from NightCafe. The prompt given was:
prime, pump, computer, ai, digital, circuit boards, pcb, green, interesting
Along with some other configuration options to arrive at the given result.
This is a very interesting piece and result, and the other options (generally, we choose to generate 4 thumbnails at a time) are all equally intriguing, but they just didn’t quite capture the idea of “priming” something.
ChatGPT astoundingly created a fully functional “choose your own adventure” game with exceptionally minimal input, generating HTML, CSS, and JS code that required no modifications to run on it’s own. It then proceeded to enhance the story, creating a more compelling narrative, and understood and recalled enough of the existing context to do so without assistance. Finally, ChatGPT was asked to describe the box art and a scene from the game it wrote, and MidJourney produced this artistic content exceptionally well.
Mastering the art of prompt engineering is vital for making the best use of the tools available today, and will build a strong foundation for the increasingly powerful systems that will be available in the near future. By building experience in the areas of prompt phrasing, step-by-step guidance, incorporating examples, and experimentation, users can significantly enhance the quality of their interactions with these new AI systems.
Prompt Engineering is the process of meticulously designing and refining prompts for AI models, such as ChatGPT, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion, with the objective of achieving a specific, desired outcome. A proficient Prompt Engineer crafts input questions, queries, guidance, or statements that enable AI systems to better comprehend the Engineer’s intentions and generate accurate and valuable results.
