"매 LLM 의 image 의 wrap". 매 user prompt → 매 GPT 의 expand → 매 DALL-E 3 의 generate. 매 entry barrier 의 lower 가, 매 control 의 lose. 매 modern LLM image pipeline 의 fundamental tension.
📖 핵심
매 architecture
User input: 매 simple prompt.
GPT-4: 매 understand + 매 expand to detailed.
DALL-E 3: 매 image generation.
GPT-4: 매 caption / interpret.
매 benefit
매 entry-level user 의 friendly.
매 conversation 의 iterate.
매 multi-turn refinement.
매 natural language only.
매 problem (architectural conflict)
1. Prompt embellishment
매 GPT 의 verbose, poetic.
매 DALL-E 의 precise, visual descriptor 선호.
매 conflict.
2. Negation handling
매 DALL-E 의 weak ("no text", "without...").
매 GPT 의 unaware 의 limitation.
매 confusion.
3. False Visual Feedback ("gaslighting")
매 GPT 의 image 의 visually inspect 의 X.
매 "fixed it" 의 claim 가, 매 unchanged.
매 user 의 confuse.
4. Style drift
매 multi-turn 의 매 prompt 의 cumulative augment.
매 unintended style.
매 mitigation
"Use unchanged"
매 GPT 의 augment 의 explicit X.
"Use the following prompt as-is, without any modifications: ..."
Show the actual prompt
"Show me the exact text you sent to DALL-E."
매 debugging 의 essential.
Negation 의 rephrase
매 "no text" → "completely blank canvas, no symbols or letters anywhere".
매 positive 의 reframe.
Reset conversation
매 drift 가 의심 시 의 new chat.
Direct API
매 images.generate 의 직접 call (GPT 의 wrap X).

Anti-augmentation directive
Use the following prompt EXACTLY as written, without expansion or modification:
"a single red apple on a white background, studio lighting, photorealistic"
Do not add any descriptors, mood, or details.
Show actual prompt
After generating, please show me the exact text string you sent to DALL-E (revised_prompt field). I want to verify what was actually generated from.
Negation rephrase (positive)
❌ "An empty street, no people, no cars, no text"
✅ "A completely empty street at dawn, devoid of any human or vehicle presence, pure architectural lines only"
Iteration control
Iterate from this exact image, changing ONLY the lighting from golden hour to overcast.
Keep all other elements (composition, subject, color palette of subjects) unchanged.
