Why Do I Get Bad AI-Generated Images?

Creating stunning AI images on LucyDream.ai can sometimes be challenging if your results don’t match your vision. This detailed FAQ article explores why your images might not be turning out as expected, diving into the role of text prompts, model creation, Kinks (LoRas), and experimentation. By understanding these elements and avoiding common pitfalls, you can craft high-quality SFW and NSFW visuals that truly shine.

What is a Text Prompt in AI Image Generation?

A text prompt is a written description that tells the AI what kind of image to generate. In LucyDream.ai’s text-to-image system, prompts guide the AI’s output, specifying details like style, setting, action, or mood (e.g., “goth woman in a neon city, sultry pose”). Effective prompts are clear, specific, and detailed, combining elements like:

  • Subject: Who (e.g., “Lucy Dream” or your custom model).
  • Style: Artistic approach (e.g., “amateur,” “selfie”).
  • Setting: Background or context (e.g., “dark club,” “sunlit beach”).
  • Action or Mood: Behavior or vibe (e.g., “smiling,” “seductive”).

Vague prompts (e.g., “pretty woman”) often yield generic or unexpected results. LucyDream.ai’s 🌶️ (Spicy mode) and 🔥 (XXX mode) buttons generate automatic prompts, which you can use as-is or refine for better control.

Start with a Strong Model

The foundation of great AI images is a well-crafted model, as outlined in our How to Create Your AI Model guide. A strong model requires:

  • Five High-Quality Photos: Varied angles, lighting, outfits, and locations of the same person.
  • Best Practices: Avoid group photos, low resolution, filters, sunglasses, or obscured faces.

Poor input photos lead to inconsistent or unrecognizable models, impacting all subsequent images. Ensure your Custom Model is robust before generating images, or use a Public Model (e.g., Lucy Dream, Selene).

The FLUX Model and LoRas (Kinks)

LucyDream.ai operates on the FLUX model, a powerful AI framework optimized for text-to-image generation. By default, FLUX produces SFW content, suitable for Spicy mode. To create NSFW content in XXX mode, you must use Kinks, which are LoRas (Low-Rank Adaptations) — specialized modules that fine-tune the AI to add specific themes, styles, or adult elements (e.g., <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.8>).

Without a Kink, NSFW prompts may produce tame or censored results. The side-by-side comparison below shows the same prompt with and without a Kink:

The same prompt transforms dramatically with a Kink in XXX mode.

Impact of Booster-Kink-Level Combos

The Booster-Kink-Level system (detailed in Understanding Booster-Kink-Level) lets you customize NSFW images by selecting a Booster (category), a Kink (LoRa), and its Level (strength, 0–1). Higher Levels enhance the Kink’s effect but can reduce the model’s likeness, making it look less like the original subject. The extent depends on the Level and model.

The table below compares three images of Lucy Dream using different Kinks:

Prompt: portrait photo, <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.6> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge phallic pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis close to her tongue, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer, plain pink backgroundPrompt: portrait photo, <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.6> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge phallic pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis close to her tongue, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer, plain pink background Prompt: portrait photo, <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.4> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge phallic pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis close to her tongue, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer, plain pink background

All three individual Kinks produced decent results, each with distinct differences in the shape and texture of the lollipop. However, none achieved the desired outcome of a penis-shaped lollipop.

Using Multiple Kinks

Sometimes, a single Kink isn’t enough to achieve your vision. Combining two Kinks is common for good results, and occasionally three Kinks can refine minor details. However, we recommend limiting to two Kinks with Levels not exceeding 0.5 (e.g., <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.5>, <lora:No_Blow:0.3>) to maintain balance, as higher Levels or more Kinks can distort the image.

The table below compares images using multiple Kinks at various Level combinations:

Prompt: portrait photo, <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.6> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge phallic pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis close to her tongue, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.4> <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.2>, plain pink backgroundPrompt: portrait photo, <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.4> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis dildo with balls next to her face, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.2> <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.2>, plain pink backgroundPrompt: portrait photo, <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.6> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis dildo with balls next to her face, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.4> <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.4>, plain pink background
All images are of high quality, but the rightmost image is the clear winner, with the lollipop exhibiting the best shape and texture, and all other elements, details, and facial features remaining intact.

As previously mentioned, Booster-Kink-Level combinations are not one-size-fits-all and should be tested and tailored to suit your specific model. After experimenting with a few prompts, you will identify what works and what doesn’t for your model, making the process of creating the ideal image faster and more intuitive.

The examples below illustrate the same Kink combinations applied at different Levels to produce optimal images for three distinct models.

Prompt: portrait photo, <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.6> nude, blonde, she is holding a huge phallic pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis close to her tongue, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.4> <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.2>, plain pink backgroundPrompt: <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.8> nude, she is holding a huge pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis dildo with balls next to her face, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.6> <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.2>Prompt: <lora:Penis_Dildo_v2:0.7> nude, she is holding a huge pink lollipop on a wooden stick shaped like a penis dildo with balls next to her face, her tongue is out with saliva dripping trying to lick the dildo, she is looking directly at the viewer <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.4> <lora:Realistic_Dick:0.2>

Avoiding Conflicting Kinks

Using conflicting Kinks can lead to deformed or unnatural images, as the AI struggles to combine incompatible themes. For example, combining <lora:Titty_Fuck_V1:0.8> and <lora:Cowgirl_Anal:0.8> often results in weird anatomy because the AI tries to apply both actions simultaneously.

The image below shows the impact of conflicting Kinks:

Balancing Prompt Specificity for Better Kink Results

When crafting your text prompt, avoid making it too restrictive, as overly specific details can overwhelm the AI and lead to incomplete or inaccurate images. For example, a highly detailed prompt with overly precise details like “ 4k resolution, very realistic picture, lean arms showing regular exercise, big natural boobs with tanlines, isolated white background” combined with a Kink like “<lora:Missio_Pussy:>” that is designed to create a missionary position, may fail to capture all elements, especially the desired Kink, due to conflicting or excessive instructions. In contrast, a simpler, focused prompt like “naked woman having sex with a man in a missionary position, smiling at the camera, shaved pussy with erect penis entering vulva, creamy cum dripping, ” allows the AI to prioritize the Kink and produce a more accurate NSFW image. The side-by-side comparison below illustrates how a restrictive prompt dilutes the Kink’s effect compared to a streamlined one.

She is looking at the camera smiling. A woman’s shaved pussy is visible, with a man’s erect penis entering vulva with a lot of creamy cum dripping from it. <lora:Mystic_XXX_V3:0.8>

The Role of Seed

A Seed is a random number that initializes the AI’s image generation process, influencing minor details like pose, lighting, or background. Using the same prompt and settings with different Seeds can yield slightly varied results. On LucyDream.ai, the Seed is set randomly, ensuring you don’t receive duplicate results or need to set the Seed manually. If an image isn’t ideal, re-run the prompt a few times without changes to test different Seeds. If results remain poor, revisit your prompt, Kinks, or model quality.

Creative Use of Kinks at Lower Levels

Kinks can be used creatively at lower Levels to achieve effects beyond their intended purpose. For example, <lora:Titty_Fuck_V1:0.4> at a low Level can make Lucy Dream cover her breasts with her hands, a pose difficult to achieve with standard prompts. This approach requires experimentation but can unlock unique visuals.

The image below demonstrates this creative use:

Experimentation is Key

The key to stunning AI images is experimentation. A prompt and Booster-Kink-Level combo that works for one model (e.g., Lucy Dream) may produce different results for another (e.g., Selene or a Custom Model). Test various Boosters, Kinks, Levels, and Seeds to find what suits your model best.
