Testing Negative Prompting in Midjourney V8 Conversational Mode

Demo summary
The user demonstrates how Midjourney V8 handles complex negative instructions like 'don't include dogs' by switching between standard, raw, and conversational modes.
Step-by-step
- Set the aspect ratio to 16:9
- Enter a prompt containing a negative instruction like 'don't include dogs'
- Switch to Raw mode to test instruction adherence
- Enable Conversational mode
- Re-submit the same prompt to verify the removal of unwanted elements
Options
- Standard mode
- Raw mode
- Conversational mode
Watch out for
- Standard and Raw modes may fail to interpret negative instructions correctly, resulting in unwanted elements appearing in the image grid
Tips
- Use Conversational mode if you want a higher level of intelligence in interpreting complex instructions
Highlights
“we're probably better off actually using conversational mode if we want a higher level of intelligence in interpreting our instructions”
