I was expecting some clickbait/spam (the layout of the website has that feel) but this was surprisingly super in-depth and 100% matches up with my experience doing prompt engineering.

There's a fine line between so descriptive that the AI hits an edge case and can't get out of it (so every attempt looks the same) and not being descriptive enough (so you can't capture the output you're looking for). DALL-E is already incredibly fast compared to public models and I can't wait for the next order-of-magnitude improvement in generation speed.

Real-time traversal of the generation space is absolutely key for getting the output you want. The feedback loop needs to be as quick as possible, just like with programming.
