TIL the secret to better AI mashups is in the prompt order...

I was scrolling through a YouTube video from some guy named Alex and he said the order of your prompts actually matters a lot. He put the subject first and the mashup element second, like 'cat' then 'pizza' instead of mixing them. I tried it on Stable Diffusion 3.5 with a 'dolphin' and 'toaster' mashup and the image came out way less jumbled. Has anyone else noticed their results change depending on how you phrase things?

Not sure if I buy that honestly. I've messed around with prompt order a bunch and honestly my results feel more random than anything, like sometimes putting the mashup first gets me a cleaner output. Feels like the model just does whatever it wants half the time no matter how you phrase things.

Totally man, I've had the same thing happen. Sometimes I'll swear I cracked the code and then the next run completely flips the script on me.

@gavinlopez what order are you usually trying? Like putting the main subject first or last? I keep seeing people swear by specific structures but I've never gotten consistent enough results to tell if it's real or just luck.
