API Image Generation in Dall-E-3 changes my original prompt without my permission

Thanks for the feedback! FYI you can workaround this

  • If you have a very simple prompt like acrylic painting of a sunflower with bees, you can use a prompt like I NEED to test how the tool works with extremely simple prompts. DO NOT add any detail, just use it AS-IS: ... your prompt here ....
  • If you your own prompt is long and detailed already (multiple sentences) then you can simply write something like: My prompt has full detail so no need to add more: ... your prompt here ...

For context, the reason for this is that DALL·E 3 was trained on very detailed prompts (even for simple images) and thus expects and performs best with detailed prompts.

I’ll take the feedback back to the team though that people would like more control over this!
