Negative Prompts
# Negative Prompts — Reusable Anti-Artifact Block
> Authored by jnMetaCode (MIT). A companion to the

> failure modes of AI video (melting hands, plastic skin, frame flicker,
> the "video-game look") and how to suppress them per model.
>
> **How to use**: drop the canonical block below into your model's negative
> field if it has one; otherwise read the compatibility table — several
> tools need positive-only phrasing instead, and a couple will summon the
> very thing you list if you write "no ___".

## The canonical negative prefab
Copy-paste this as your default. It targets resolution/sharpness defects,
overlay junk, anatomy breakage, the over-stylized CG/anime look, and dead
camera work — the artifacts that read as "AI" at a glance.when to use it
Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo jnMetaCode/ai-shortfilm-prompts (MIT). A "Negative Prompts" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
