This one includes a sub-optimal guess, GEEKY, which repeats the K in the incorrect position but clued me in that there were two E, so it wasn’t a total waste of a guess.

Some things I noticed about this prompt that caused me to re-run it several times:

  • Midjourney could not figure out what legs are supposed to do when they are kneeling.
  • “Geeky” seems to be highly gendered. This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed this:
    • #703: Clerk and #700: Flask also returned images of men.
    • #694: Scarf, and #701: Brash (which included ARTSY and FLORA as guesses), predominantly returned images of women, interestingly, there wasn’t as strong of a connection, and I was able to pick images that were more open to interpretation.

The images devolved a bit further before I decided to see what --niji 5 could do. As you can see above, still no concept of KNEEL (let’s just say a crouch is close enough), nothing that screams SPOKE, but we have a nice THICK jacket, and a more non-stereotypical GEEKY person.

Here are a few from the original runs…

Four AI-generated images, each with a person with a masculine appearance, wearing glasses, sitting in front of an ornate circular scene of varying types (gears, halos, etc).
Round 1, with prompt thick, spoke, geeky, kneel --v 5.1

Four AI-generated images, similar to the previous set, except with one feminine person.
Round 2, re-running the same prompt.

Huh. Apparently geeks don’t kneel?

And, just for fun, here’s what it generated with just KNEEL.

Four AI-generated images, with a religious tone, generated by the prompt kneel.
Just kneel --v 5.1
