Ultimate AI Prompt List of 2024 for Your Inspiration

Part 1. The Importance of Good AI Prompts

The better your prompts are, the better your images will be, simple as that. When going through our AI prompt list, you will notice that we included simpler and more complex prompts. Take the time to compare their differences and notice how “fuller” the longer prompts are.

However, it’s not just about the length. The quality of a prompt includes various factors, and you must consider them all to get the best results. Simple AI prompts can generate results that look too familiar and have nothing authentic about them.

That’s why you should take the time to learn how to write excellent AI prompts to get realistic, creative, and mystic results.

Part 2. General Rules for Writing Prompts

Here are some general rules you should follow when writing prompts for generating AI images.

Structure of AI Prompts

The first thing you need to remember when generating AI images using prompts is to follow the general structure:

1. The subject of the image/content of the image, description of the action/mood/state.
2. Art style references and form.
3. Additional details, including framing, colors, lighting, shadows, etc.

If you add many elements and descriptions, make sure to use commas so they can be clear and the AI algorithm can successfully interpret your prompt to create a more accurate image.

Length of AI Prompts

Regarding the length of AI prompts, there’s a common misconception that you should keep them short. It’s only the case with subpar AI image generators that can’t deal with more words. However, some of the best generators, like Stable Diffisuon and Midjoerney, work exceptionally with up to 60 words and can handle even longer prompts if created meticulously.

Still, you can’t expect to go over 70 words, as that’s simply too much work for AI image generators to handle. You can create simple 10-word prompts and get as specific as possible within 60 words.

Language Style

Specific, concrete, and accurate language is absolutely essential for creating predictable results. Avoid using abstract words or poetic phrases. However, some tools like Midjorney can even handle prompts with several abstract words. The more you generate prompts, the more you will learn about your prompts' best language and style.
