When creating images with Artificial Intelligences, one of the most difficult things to understand is how to use the various words within the prompt. I suspect there are similarities with writing code. But while, for example, JavaScript follows known laws, the rules of AI are a little harder to understand. Someone will eventually write a complete treatise, but for now I have to make do with trial and error.
Obviously, I am not the only one experimenting with AI. For example, The Jasper Whisperer has published several guides on the subject. And then there are the posts by Salvatore Raieli, which are very interesting and full of food for thought. And, of course, many others.
That said, today I am testing Jasper Art. I want to see how the images change if I change the basic settings. In this post I will keep track of the generated images. Starting with the first, which will be the base for my tests: an apple.
An Apple in a table

The generated image is beautiful. It represents, and it represents a good starting point. Starting from this image, I try to add some features. First of all, I try modifying the medium on which the image appears. The basic options of Jasper Art are those common to all AI:
- acrylic paint
- chalk
- collage
- graffiti
- ink
- mixed media
- oil paint
- photography
- tempera paint
- watercolor
I then proceed to modify the prompt by adding one of these mediums at a time. For example, to try the ‘acrylic paint’ medium, I add to the prompt:
An Apple in a table, acrylic paint
Acrylic Paint

Well, now I’ll try with the other options.
