Generating Prompts

Overview

On December 16th, 2022, Nicole and Ofek held a competition on who could create the best images using MidJourney, a text-to-image AI. Specifically, they disagreed on whether prompts crafted by another AI (namely chat GPT), would be able to outperform handcrafted human prompts.

Competition Structure

Both Nicole and Ofek came up with a separate image goal, and then each were given time to create the best images for it. Nicole was tasked with creating the best images using purely handcrafted prompts, while Ofek was only allowed to directly copy-paste from chat GPT, except to substitute specific banned words with synonyms for MidJourney. The following are the prompts, and the resulting images (Note, the image order is randomized):

Prompt 1 (Nicole)
