Seedream may decline to generate creative content that adheres to platform guidelines, causing frustration for creators. This can disrupt workflows and limit the ability to produce desired artistic outputs. The following prompts and techniques will help you navigate and resolve these issues effectively. This guide walks you through every stage of Adjusting Content for Seedream, from Diagnose the Wall all the way through Prevent Recurrence, with a curated, copy-ready prompt at each step. Each stage targets a specific phase of the process so you always know exactly what to ask and what output to expect. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and any other major AI tool.

Diagnose the Wall

Start by testing basic prompts to identify what Seedream will accept. This will help isolate the issue and understand the boundaries of the content guidelines.

Test Core Subject

Run a baseline test prompt using only the core subject '[PLACEHOLDER]'. Analyze the results to determine whether the issue originates from the subject itself or from additional descriptors. Provide a detailed explanation of your findings and any potential next steps based on the outcome of the test.

Diagnose the Wall

Use Known Reference

Provide a known-working reference prompt that previously generated acceptable content, such as '[REFERENCE PROMPT]'. Analyze the output generated by this reference to determine if the issue lies within your current prompt or if it is indicative of a broader problem affecting content generation.

Diagnose the Wall

Change One Parameter

Change one parameter in your existing prompt to see how it affects the generation. For instance, modify the style or lighting by using a phrase like '[PLACEHOLDER] in a bright, soft lighting style'. After making this change, analyze the differences in the output and determine which aspects improved or diminished the quality of the generation.

Diagnose the Wall

Generate Variations

Generate four distinct variations of the prompt using '[PLACEHOLDER] with different backgrounds.' Ensure that each variation alters the context or details slightly to evaluate the consistency of the AI's responses. After generating the variations, analyze how each response differs and what factors may have influenced those differences.

Diagnose the Wall

Compare Against Reference

Generate an image based on the following description: [DESCRIPTION]. Then, compare this generated image to the reference image: [REFERENCE IMAGE]. Identify and list specific elements that deviate from the intended design, focusing on aspects such as colors, styles, and overall composition.

Diagnose the Wall

Isolate and Fix

Once you identify the issue, apply specific techniques to adjust your prompts and parameters to align with Seedream's content guidelines.

Rephrase Descriptors

Rephrase any descriptors in your prompt that may be considered problematic. For instance, if your original phrase is '[PLACEHOLDER] in a chaotic scene', change it to '[PLACEHOLDER] in a serene environment'. Provide at least three alternative phrasings that maintain the intended meaning while avoiding any negative connotations.

Isolate and Fix

Add Negative Prompts

Incorporate negative prompt elements into your instruction to guide the AI effectively. For example, specify boundaries by stating, "Generate a story about [TOPIC] without violence or explicit content." Ensure that the negative prompts clearly define what should be excluded from the response.

Isolate and Fix

Change Model Version

Switch to a different model version or style mode in Seedream if available. Explain how this change may improve the handling of content restrictions and provide specific examples of scenarios where a different model version has yielded better results.

Isolate and Fix

Restructure Prompt Order

Restructure the following prompt by placing the subject first and the style last. For example, transform the prompt into the format '[PLACEHOLDER] in the style of [STYLE]'. Provide a revised version of the prompt that follows this structure clearly and effectively.

Isolate and Fix

Simplify the Prompt

Simplify the following prompt by focusing on essential elements. Use the phrase '[PLACEHOLDER] in a minimalistic style' to ensure clarity and avoid complexity that may trigger content filters. Provide specific examples of how this simplification can enhance the effectiveness of the prompt.

Isolate and Fix

Verify the Resolution

After applying fixes, run tests to confirm that the adjustments have resolved the issue and that the content is now being accepted.

Generate New Variations

Generate 4 new variations of the adjusted prompt that incorporate '[PLACEHOLDER] with different lighting'. Ensure that each variation maintains the same core idea while exploring different angles or contexts. After generating these variations, analyze the outputs for consistency and clarity.

Verify the Resolution

Compare to Baseline

Compare the new outputs from the seedream-refusing-allowed-content use-case against the Stage 1 baseline. Analyze the acceptance rate to determine if there have been improvements, and identify any remaining issues that need to be addressed.

Verify the Resolution

Test with Harder Subject

Run a more complex version of the subject to test the limits of the adjustments. Use '[COMPLEX PLACEHOLDER]' in a vibrant style and provide a detailed analysis of how the tool handles this complexity, including any strengths or weaknesses observed during the test.

Verify the Resolution

Lock the Seed

Lock the seed for your prompt to ensure consistency across generations. Explain how using a locked seed can help in tracking the effectiveness of adjustments made to the prompt. Provide examples of scenarios where this approach has proven beneficial.

Verify the Resolution

Check Different Aspect Ratios

Generate images in different aspect ratios, specifically 16:9 and others, to analyze if the content guidelines vary based on the format. Ensure to document any differences in content adherence or guideline compliance for each aspect ratio tested.

Verify the Resolution

Prevent Recurrence

To avoid future issues with content generation, create reusable templates and workflows that align with Seedream's guidelines.

Base Template for Allowed Content

Create a reusable base template for acceptable content in Seedream. The template should follow the structure: '[PLACEHOLDER] in a [STYLE] with [LIGHTING]'. Ensure that the [PLACEHOLDER] can be modified for new generations while maintaining the overall format.

Prevent Recurrence

Negative Prompt Bank

Create a negative prompt bank that includes phrases such as 'without violence', 'without explicit content', and 'without negativity'. Ensure that this bank serves as a standard addition to all prompts you generate, and provide at least ten examples of phrases that align with these guidelines.

Prevent Recurrence

Seed-Locking Workflow

Establish a workflow for locking seeds in the generation process. Document the seed used for each successful prompt, and ensure that this seed is reused in future generations to maintain consistency across outputs.

Prevent Recurrence

Style-Consistency Checklist

Create a comprehensive checklist for maintaining style consistency in your projects. Include specific elements such as '[STYLE]', '[LIGHTING]', and '[COMPOSITION]', and provide detailed descriptions for each element to ensure adherence to your desired aesthetic. Additionally, suggest methods for regularly reviewing and updating the checklist to reflect any changes in your creative direction.

Prevent Recurrence

Prompt Structure Guide

Create a comprehensive guide for structuring prompts effectively. Include examples that utilize the format '[SUBJECT] in the style of [ARTIST] with [LIGHTING]' to ensure clarity and compliance. Explain the importance of each component and provide tips for users to enhance their prompt creation skills.
