Prompting Isn't Writing, It's Compilation
I keep reading prompt tips that assume the way to get better output is to write more.
More adjectives. More moodboard language. More camera jargon. More cinematic this, ethereal that.
The working assumption is that a prompt is an essay, and a good prompt is a well-written essay. So people iterate on the sentence. They swap in fancier words. They add qualifiers. They layer on references.
Most of the time, the output does not get better. It just gets noisier.
