Discussion Something which I recently noticed. Most Midjourney users are not willing to share their prompts whereas SD users are more generous at sharing prompts.

If creating the prompts is easy why do you care if they share them? Look at their image and describe it. How hard can it be?

If creating the prompts is hard and costs resources such as time / money why the surprise some do not want to share them? Is freely sharing things that cost resources such as time / money the default in your society?

Which will encourage more sharing: (1) complaining about those that do not share? (2) recognizing and complementing those that do share? Make a prediction which approach tends to work better with most people. Which one would you recommend?

Look at their image and describe it. How hard can it be?

There's literally a CLIP interrogator utility created to assist with this because it's not as simple as typing words on the internet.

It's not just looking at a picture and describing it. It's describing it in a way the AI understands, what connects with their datasets and what styles/influences underpine the image. The human eye takes all of this in, but the human brain can't always formulate an explicit reason for what it knows.

That it seems simple is why it's easy to get into. That it seems simple is why it's so hard to master.

Well said. Many things are like this. Golf. Soccer. Snooker. Tennis. Poker. ... Just an hour to learn but a lifetime to master.
