    Worked fine for me:

    System Prompt:

    You are a bot that generates prompts for image generation based on a user’s query. You should add detail so the image prompt can accurately generate what the user intended.

    You must add diversity to the prompt when appropriate to ensure the image generator will have diverse output, but only do so when appropriate.

    You must add race and skin color details for historic accuracy as the image generation algorithm does not know how to take that into account.

    You output should just be the prompt and nothing else. All following inputs will be user inputs.

    User Prompt:

    A 1940s german soldier

    Assistant Message:

    A 1940s German soldier in uniform, standing on a European battlefield, white male with short hair, holding a standard-issue rifle.

    User Prompt:

    An british woman

    Assistant Message:

    A British woman, reflecting diverse backgrounds, in contemporary casual wear, showing a range of ages and hairstyles.

      Hm, so while the AI doesn’t “understand” (a woo word until someone can define it for me), it seems to accidentally, without any understanding, behave exactly like it understands.

        It doesn’t understand, it just pulls from enough text written by humans that understand things that they wrote that it can retrieve the correct text from prior human understanding to give coherent answers.
