I've seen some frustration among users, often expressed "How (in the world) did you do that?" Well, I f'ed around and found out. I did hit a few walls running around in the dark. This post goes to the end of sparing the next prompter a bloody nose.
I'm writing as I understand these concepts. I'd love to hear from anyone with a different take.
Span, as I understand it, is the number of discrete elements in a prompt that the LLM can incorporate into an image, chat, narrative, et cetera. Assume a prompt which specifies a man, a woman, a bedroom and nine other discrete elements. Assume that the LLM can include any ten of these elements. Two will be skipped. You'll spend some time trimming and swapping discrete elements until you get a feel for the LLMs limits.
Syntax, on the LLM with which I have been working, offers you a way around the limit of span. You can include a range of alternatives in curly brackets, each element separated by a "pipe" (shift-backslash). EG --
The same LLM allows you to enclose an element in parentheses to emphasize/prioritize that element.
Finally, you get what you pay for. LLM free-to-use and without watermark, will test your insight and your resource. But you can have a lot of fun learning to outwit the genie once you get the stopper off of the bottle.
