Powerful Prompt Crafting: Comparing Basic vs. Detailed Descriptions in AI-Generated Art in Dall-e

to understand the science of creating the perfect Dall-e prompt. Here is an example of a simpler prompt by a user who was trying to create an image. See below prompt, a simpler and more general depiction of a steampunk city floating in the clouds with airships flying around.

Here is how an excellent Dall-e prompt engineer should have addressed details for output considering questions

  • Architecture Style: What kind of buildings should populate the city? For example, do you imagine Victorian-style architecture, ornate towers, or industrial structures with gears and pipes?
  • Airships: Should the airships look more like classic zeppelins, elaborate fantasy designs, or futuristic?
  • Atmosphere: Is it daytime, nighttime, or perhaps during a sunset? Should there be weather effects, like mist, rain, or golden sunlight?
  • Activity: What’s happening in the scene? Are there bustling markets, people on balconies, or maybe steam-powered vehicles moving through the air?
  • Scale: Should the city feel expansive and grand, with sprawling platforms and towering structures, or more intimate and close-up?

Here’s the polished and enhanced prompt from an expert Dall-e based on the questions and potential details:
