Just realized you can get way better AI image results by adding 'in the style of a 1980s textbook diagram' to your prompt
I was trying to make a clear graphic of a cell's mitochondria for a project and after 5 bad tries, adding that phrase got me a perfect, clean schematic on the first shot, so what other weirdly specific prompt tweaks have actually worked for you guys?

A tech blog said adding "stock photo from 1997" works for bland corporate images.

Yeah @ramirez.vera, that old photo trick works because it adds some real personality.

badly photocopied" works killer for paper textures too, makes it feel like you're looking at a real scan. For product mockups, try "directly photographed on a white desk with harsh overhead lighting". Sounds stupid but it kills that glossy fake look. Also "shot on a mid-range digital camera from 2005" adds just enough noise and bad focus to sell realism.
