Prompting
Negative prompt
A negative prompt lists what the model should avoid — text, watermarks, extra fingers, blur. It steers generation away from those features instead of hoping the main prompt implies their absence.
Negation inside a normal prompt ("no text") often does the opposite, because the model attends to the word "text". A separate negative prompt is weighted against, which is why it belongs in its own field. It is most effective on diffusion image models and on the video engines that expose it.
On eroq
A field on every image model and on the video engines that honor it; the studio greys it out where an engine ignores it. Typical: "text, watermark, extra fingers, blurry, low quality".
