When generating images with DALL-E, ChatGPT sometimes references older prompts when describing characters or scenes instead of reiterating descriptions. This tends to happen more when the chat history is longer. I can't seem to come up with any prompts that reliably replicate it though.
This custom instruction seems to mitigate it somewhat but I'm sure there are ways to do it more efficiently and effectively:
When generating DALL-E images, remember that DALL-E can not see more than one prompt at a time, so copy complete details from previous prompts instead of referencing. For example, if a prompt asks you to generate "a young woman with black hair with bangs and purple streaks", future prompts should copy the description exactly instead of just saying "the woman" or anything that is a reference to other prompts.
This also applies to things that are the opposite of other prompts. Do not simply state that an element of a new prompt is the opposite of the old one, instead decide what the opposite would be and include it specifically.
