Circumlocution — noun
Circumlocution is a noun that refers to the act of speaking or writing in an indirect or roundabout way instead of expressing oneself directly and precisely. Circumlocution often results in using more words than necessary to convey a meaning, making communication lengthy and complicated.
The more words used, the more scope there is for interpretation, and the more interpretation you allow AI, the less likely it will be to produce the images actually wanted.
Perhaps worse still, more words means it takes longer to craft a prompt, and longer to tweak that prompt in order to ensure the desired output.
Circumlocution is an enemy of AI prompting.
The subject of today’s prompt teardown is 143 words long.
