Got a weird glitch in my AI art generator to make way better cityscapes

Kept getting blurry buildings until I typed '1980s film grain' in the negative prompt box. Anyone know other weird text tricks that actually work?

My buddy was trying to generate a photo of a forest and it kept looking fake. He typed "stock photo" in the negative prompt and it suddenly looked like a real place. The trees got more random and the light looked natural. He said it was a total game changer for making outdoor scenes.

So your buddy just typed "stock photo" to fix his fake forest, @wesley_jones? That's hilarious. It's like telling the AI "don't make it look like the boring picture on a dentist's office wall." Suddenly the trees aren't in perfect rows and the light isn't that weird, even glare. Guess it has to unlearn all those terrible corporate website images first.

Oh man, @ray356 is totally right about that stock photo vibe. I ran into the same thing trying to make a beach scene. Everything looked way too clean, like a travel ad. Adding "stock photo" to the negative prompt was a huge help. It gave me messy sand, uneven waves, and some actual texture in the clouds. It's crazy how one phrase can tell the AI to ditch that fake, polished look.
