{trying out modifying prompts by chatgpt; it ballooned my prompt of 15-30 words into several hundred; images definitely looked noticeably different, but hard to say which were better; just a few words, or even emojis (!), enough to get to clear, ornate, beautiful output}
{I also tried having gpt write prompts to prompt gpt to write prompts for midjourney, that level of recursion didn’t do anything; after a few experiments I just used my original prompts and added or changed a few words if output was too far off, the extra layer of LLM filtering didn't seem to add anything}
