> You literally cannot respond with "you are holding it wrong" specially when I'm claiming that even for the popular _example prompts_ SD authors used they had to hand-pick the best random result over a sea of extremely shitty images.

I do a lot of my SD with a fixed seed and 1-image batches, once you know the specific model you are using getting decent pictures isn't hard, and zeroing in on a specific vision is easier with a fixed seed. Once I am happy with it, I might do multiple images without a fixed seed using the final prompt to see if I get something better

If you are using a web interface that only use the base SD models and don’t allow negative prompts, yes, its harder (negative prompts and in particular good, model specific, negative embeddings are an SD superpower.)
