Better:
2. Tell it what to avoid
Avoid making it look overly polished, fake, glossy, or obviously AI-generated.
3. Give the model a format
Create this as a 5-slide Instagram carousel. Each slide should have one headline and one simple visual.
4. Use reference images when possible
If you want a specific face, product, room, outfit, or style, upload a reference image. Use the attached image as the main product reference. Keep the label, shape, and colors consistent.
5. Ask for variations
Create 3 different versions: 1. clean and minimal, 2. bold and colorful, 3. premium and editorial.
Copy-paste starter prompts
Selfie to style guide
Product to UGC ad
Idea to Instagram carousel
Low-quality image enhancement
YouTube thumbnail
Note: these codes are not official hidden ChatGPT commands. They work because they're clear shorthand instructions — think of them like prompt presets. The code gives the model a direction, and the prompt underneath tells it exactly what to create.
