Author notes

Hi everyone,

I write to you, as there is a big problem concerning this story. The image generator I use, OpenArt.ai, has changed the way it works with the prompts. Ai-R had the same issues as I have now a few weeks ago. So the problem isn't new.

What is the problem: I'm not fully sure. I made some tests and found out the generator is either handling the prompts different or the seed (the starting image for the creation) has been changed. It results in the images not getting recreated, but only for some certain seeds. Unluckily the seed I use for the pictures is one of the affected, which means I can't recreate the already used pictures. That wouldn't be too bad, but the new pictures look totally differen. They basically have nothing in common. So continuing from here changing just one prompt would result in a totally different picture for the first change, after that it works again.
Also the pictures tend to have oversaturated colors.

So I was wondering what to do? Should I stop here, continue, make adjustments?

I have come up with 5 possible ways I can handle this problem:

1. End the story here. (But I don't want to do this.)
2. Wait for the problem to be fixed. (Ai-R is already waiting for 2 month, so propably not gonna happen.)
3. Ignore the problems and continue like nothing happend. (This will result in huge inconsistencies.)
4. Change extra/changed prompts to recreate the image and work from there. (Surprising changes will likely not take place.)
5. Use a different seed as base for the new pictures. (May result in inconsistencies, but probably not too big.)

Personally I favor the last one. But I want to know your look on it. What should I do?
