> People with a good understanding of different styles of art and framing/angles/etc should be able to create the "right" prompts for a customer much much faster and get better results than people who don't know art.
When the Bing image creator released a couple of days ago, I used ChatGPT to craft a prompt for it.
> In one sentence describe the art style of impressionism
< The art style of impressionism is characterized by visible brush strokes, emphasis on the changing effects of light, and an emphasis on capturing the fleeting moment.
Then used that in my prompt for the creator:
> okinawa street on a rainy night, visible brush strokes, emphasis on the changing effects of light, and an emphasis on capturing the fleeting moment
The point is you knew to use "impressionist" as a concept. ChatGPT probably wouldn't have helped you with that kernel. It's not clear whether GPT added any value at all in your use case as you just replaced "impressionist" with "{synonym of impressionist}". How would you repeat this for:
> okinawa street on a rainy night, in the style of fauvism
> okinawa street on a rainy night, in the style of constructivism
> okinawa street on a rainy night, in the style of De Stijl (Neoplasticism)
> okinawa street on a rainy night, in the style of later Expressionism, e.g. George Grosz and Otto Dix
If you weren't aware of these stylistic options at the time?
> The point is you knew to use "impressionist" as a concept.
I could have surfaced, or learned about it 20 seconds earlier from a different ChatGPT conversation (throwing vaguely related questions at GPT[1]), or something as old fashioned as a search engine. Maybe turning up the "novel" kernels of information that you won't get from LLMs without knowing to ask will be its own thing in the future. A few Pinterests for prompts are already out there if I'm not mistaken.
If I just wanted results, I'm sure I could have. I just thought it was interesting to see if this more abstract description would map to results that would be considered impressionism.

This was the first shot. No prompt engineering, no parameters, nothing.
