Best text to image generator (lemmy.world)

I have used several different generators. What they all seem to have in common is that they don't always display what I am asking for. Example: if I am looking for a person in jeans and t-shirt, I will get images of a person wear things totally different clothing and it isn't consistent. Another example is if I want a full body picture, that command seems to be ignored giving just waist up or just below the waist. Same goes if I ask for side views or back views. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't. More often they don't. I have also seen that none of the negative requests seem to actually work. If I ask for pictures of people and don't want them using cell phones or no tattoos, like magic they have cell phones. Some have tattoos. I have noticed this in every single generator I have used. Am I asking for things the wrong way or is the AI doing whatever it wants and not paying attention to my actual request?

Thanks

Talking to a text-to-image model is kinda like meeting someone from a different generation and culture that only half knows your language. You have to spend time with them to be able to communicate with them better and understand the “generational and cultural differences” so to speak.

Try checking out PromptHero or Civit.ai to see what prompts people are using to generate certain things.

Also, most text-to-image models are not made to be conversational and will work better if your prompts are similar to what you’d type in when searching for a photo on Google Images. For example, instead of a command like “Generate a photo for me of a…”, do “Disposable camera portrait photo, from the side, backlight…”
