Artificial intelligence is a constantly evolving frontier, and one of the most fascinating applications of AI lies in the realm of creativity – especially with AI models like DreamStudio and DALL-E. These AI artists have been churning out fantastical images based on our prompts, and today we want to dive deeper into how the subtle nuances of a prompt can dramatically influence the final art piece.
Our experiment started with a desire to merge iconic historical moments with a touch of AI, but it quickly became clear that the AI was having difficulty interpreting complex prompts. This led us down a simpler, but still captivating, path: robots depicted in various art styles.
Our first approach was to provide prompts like “Classic industrial robot at work in Cubist style” and “Futuristic humanoid robot in Impressionist style”. We used a weighting system to suggest which parts of the prompt should be prioritized, assigning full weight to the main subject and less weight to the artistic style. However, we found the results to be inconsistent, with some styles being omitted entirely.
We then tried a different strategy, using double parentheses ((like this)) to emphasize elements and double brackets [[like this]] to de-emphasize others. For example, our first prompt became “((Classic industrial robot)) at work in [[Cubist style]]”. Intriguingly, this seemed to produce images where the primary subject was more evident, and the artistic style was subtly incorporated.
Here are the prompts and corresponding images from our experiment:
[SD 1.5 only. From left to right: No emphasis, emphasis using numbers, emphasis using parentheses/brackets]

Futuristic humanoid robot in Impressionist style
Vintage toy robot in Pop Art style
A robot pet in a family setting in Norman Rockwell style
A group of robots exploring Mars in Romanticism style
AI controlled agriculture – robots farming in Japanese ukiyo-e style
Robot performing a ballet dance in Art Nouveau style
Robots in a sci-fi cityscape in Futurism style

Medical robot performing surgery in Da Vinci’s sketch style
While this experiment yielded some remarkable images, it’s important to note that results varied significantly. Sometimes, our weighted approach seemed to hit the mark, while at other times it felt like we merely got lucky. This could be due to the limitations of the AI’s interpretation capabilities, the complexity of our prompts, or even our own growing skills in prompt engineering. Despite these challenges, this exercise has offered invaluable insights into the nuanced craft of prompt creation.
As we continue to explore the bounds of AI artistry, we remain excited and intrigued about the potential of these incredible tools. There’s still much to learn and experiment with, and we can’t wait to see where this creative journey with AI will take us next.
We would love to hear your perspective on this captivating intersection of AI and art. Stay tuned for more creative experiments, and don’t hesitate to share your thoughts!
