I tried to get SD-XL to generate an image of a frog with its eyes closed. It refused. I even cranked up the attention on closed to an absurd level, and it seemed to get sassy with me.
This little guy has either check out completely or is entirely hyperfocused. There is no middle.
This has meme potential!
This has meme potential!Edit: voyager messed up, I’m not that excited about it.Another interesting prompt I remember someone on here having trouble getting Stable Diffusion to do was colored tire treads. Probably not much by way in the world of colored tire treads out there – they’re always black, so…
My own is drawings with crosshatching. For some reason, though Stable Diffusion can do about a zillion types of media and art styles, including sketches, and there are lots of images on the Internet that have crosshatching, in my experience, Stable Diffusion will not generate images using crosshatching. I don’t know if that’s because the algorithm used just has problems with highly-similar-but-not-identical line patterns all over, whether it’s been excluded from training on all of the models I’ve tried, or what.
Still getting no respect these days
The prompt, by the way, was
frog with (eyes closed:3).Did you try putting (eyes open) in the negative prompt instead? I find that when it doesn’t have a strong understanding of a compound phrase, it sometimes focuses more on the individual words. So, “eyes closed” may have been impeded by a stronger influence from “eyes”.
The problem here is that you have the token “eyes” with very heavy weighting, and it’s showing you eyes. Another way of thinking about it is…
What do you see when somebody closes their eyes? Eyelids
The habanero sauce last night had been a dire mistake.
He’s seen some shit.
Add with human (or any other animal) eyelids closed?
“That was not a fart.”
Alternately: do you see banana man?
My guess is because this is what they look like when they’re blinking or asleep? It’s transparent, so probably basically looks the same as open eyes and the model probably doesn’t have any closed opaque eyelids to reference as a result. (Although you are correct the AI seems to be getting sassy with you in this image, lol.)
Frogs have three eyelids: an upper eyelid that blinks to keep their eyes moist, a lower eyelid that stays still, and a third semi-transparent eyelid called the nictitating membrane. The nictitating membrane is used for swimming, camouflage, hibernation, and sleeping.1 It is a thin, transparent eyelid that protects frogs’ large, fragile eyes, making their eyes waterproof and keeping them safe from debris.

Here are some indications that a frog is sleeping:
- Limbs are tucked under their body
- Head is pointed downward
- Eyes may or may not be covered by a nictitating membrane
For some species, it can be difficult to tell when they’re resting. In fact, most frogs either sleep with their eyes open (described as “Cataleptic Sleep”) or have a clear or camouflaged membrane covering their eyes.
I love it !
AI really seems to have trouble with descriptors like high/low, big/small, open/closed, above/below, etc. the best workaround I’ve found is to try to use synonyms. In this case, I might try something like “squinting completely.”
