Totally unrelated.

But generated picture at the beginning of the article, the one with space needle, robs me very wrong way, as real landscape doesn’t look like it. It’s like seeing Golden Gate Bridge in New York.

Author here. Yeah, the model I use (Anything v3) has a really weird way of generating the Space Needle in particular. I'm originally from Seattle and I really miss the pacific northwest, so I like to put the Space Needle in my AI generations because of how much it can stick out or clash with the rest of the image.

In the future I'm gonna use more of my own photography like this: https://pony.social/@cadey/110956174300162810, I'm just building up a library of viable photos.

What's the story behind "-amputee" in the arguments? Were such images so common that it was necessary to exclude them!?

If you don't include it, sometimes you get otherwise perfect images that have only half of a leg in a really distracting way. I usually prune negative arguments (my usual prompts are close to a kilobyte long including negative prompt elements), but I thought it would be amusing to leave it in this time.

Huh. You inspired me to finally get around to installing a local Midjourney-like[0], and, yeah, what do you know - the first result I got from those prompts _without_ the `-amputee` negative prompt was this horrifying (though SFW, despite what Imgur claims) monstrosity[1]
