Needs improvement with interpreting the word "NO"

Anytime I say "no beard" or "no ears" or NO anything, it produces results with the exact opposite desire and uses that word to make it have the thing I don't want. It needs to do a better job interpreting the word "NO."

Hello @crimsonite88 ,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

Yes, the model does not understand the concept of a word being negated by the word in front of it. So using "not [X]", "no [X]", and "without [X]" does not work. As you observed, it ignores the negation word and add to the image the thing you are trying to avoid.  You basically need to find "positive" words and phrases telling the model what you want to see rather than telling it what you do not want to see.  Such as "flat land" rather than "no mountains".  If I am not sure how to describe something I want to exclude in a positive way, I will ask Google Gemini or ChatGPT for ideas.  Just be aware that when they give prompts, they are usually too wordy and conversational, so you have to edit them, but they are good for ideas.

 

I will add that beards appear to be a special case. They are very hard to get rid of. You can see here that even with this long prompt, not all the images are without beards:

clean-shaven smooth-face fresh-face clear-chin bare-faced youthful man looking in distance 

 

Adobe is aware of the beard problem and hopefully we will have a fix soon.

Thanks,
