In the article "Can a horse ride an Astronaut?" by James Mccammon it is about prompts written in Midgerani to create art. This article is about another article by a research group at SensiLab at Monash University in Australia. Their article deals with the question: Do writing prompts really produce art?. In the article, they examine the exciting progress of the text-to-image system. In James's article, he wanted to test the text-to-image system using the new version of MidJourney- version 5.1. After attempting to create a horse that rides on an astronaut, he set out to investigate and uncover other cases. James talks in his article about "antagonistic instructions"- instructions that refuse MidJourney to expand her knowledge and her semantic understanding to continue with what is known and to create images that do not correspond to the intended effect of the instruction. James prepared a list of "antagonistic directives" and classified them into two main families: Inversion prompts and Discordant prompts. He emphasizes that the most important thing to remember when using prompt is the use of fancy names.
Inversion instructions: produce inverted images- describing the opposite of the direction of the instruction: there are full inversion instructions (PIP)- a request to the prompt that he does not know how to perform. There are limited inversion instructions (CIP)- produce what we ask for but not as we asked for. Essential inversion instructions (EIP)- speak of what MidJourney perceives as inseparable, and cannot produce it.
contradiction guidelines (HDP)- MidJourney confuses words and interprets many meanings of a word in one picture. Contradictory instructions in location (PDP) - format from a lot angle and received from another angle. Guidelines conflicting elements (MEP)- placing an object or setting a setting in the picture. Semantic discordant directives (SDP)- a semantic mismatch between a predicate of the promate and what is received.
I tried to do a SDP with the prompts: Make me a man that fire comes out of his mouth/ hand, and I thought it will make all the men on fire and actually it's works. Also, I thought that the model will be systematic about animals and how he recognize them, and I realized that he can make it and in a good way.
