Customized Prompts for AI Art Generators

Creative Playing Field DeepAries

Here's some content explaining how fairness was ensured when comparing different Generative AI tools by tailoring prompts for each platform:

You know what they say - for an experiment to be truly fair, you've got to give everyone an equal chance to shine. That's exactly what I tried to do when putting NightCafe, Stylar, and Adobe Firefly through their artistic paces.

The prompts I fed into each AI generator were like the starting lines of a race.

If I just blurted out vague instructions like "make a landscape!" that wouldn't really allow the unique talents of each tool to fully express themselves. It'd be like asking a sprinter and a marathon runner to tackle the same course - of course their performances would differ!

So instead, I spent time researching the strengths, specialties, and prompt styles that worked best for each individual AI.

For Nightcafe, that meant giving it really descriptive, fleshed-out prompts packed with visual details to dissect.

Stylar prefers a more open-ended approach with room for artistic interpretation.

And, Adobe Firefly vibes best with cascading, almost stream-of-consciousness prompt flows.

1. My landscape prompts for NightCafe sounded something like:

A photorealistic panoramic view of a mountain valley at sunset, with alpine lakes in the foreground reflecting the orange and purple sky. Towering pine forests in the middle distance give way to snow-capped peaks in the far background.

Professional photography, bokeh, natural lighting, canon lens, shot on dslr 64 megapixels sharp focus.        

2. Whereas Stylar got more open prompts like:

Dreamy impressionistic landscape of rolling hills and winding rivers at dusk, with a warm spring palette of greens and soft pinks and purples.        

3. And for Adobe Firefly, the prompts sort of twisted and turned, going with the AI's unique flow:

Fantastic alien landscape with terraced buttes in vivid fuchsia and cobalt blue...mineral pools reflecting the surreal sky...flora resembling glass sculpted into organic formations by cosmic winds        

By taking the time to customize and tailor the prompts, I let each AI stretch its creative muscles in its preferred ways. That ensured I got to see their absolute best work - not just whatever they could muster from a one-size-fits-all instruction. Like giving every participant an event that caters to their specialties.

Was it extra work on my end? Sure.

But it was worth it to guarantee these AI artists got as fair a shake as possible in the ultimate landscape-off.
