 Hello everybody welcome back to another AI tutorial and this one we're in mid-journey version 5.2 version 5.2 just released and I'm going to show you the brand new forward slash shortened command or the shortened command it just launched the shortened command in a nutshell as you'll see here it allows you to do a few things one it allows you to take long prompts which a lot of us are and I'm guilty of it writing really really long prompts and it allows you shorten them obviously but B you can actually go in as you'll see here and determine the relative weights and values that they've assigned to each word or each token so if I look at this one here you'll see it says detailed it's got a 0.03 comic 0.07 illustration 0.02 headpiece 0.13 etc etc so each word in this long prompt here has been given a value and a weighting so I'm going to show you how all of that works and then at the end I'm going to show you how to go ahead and get around it so I'm going to show you the work around so if something in the prompt needs to be increased in value I'll show you how to do it so let's just get cracking so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and just copy and paste in a long prompt here we go all right so welcome back so here we go this is what our prompt gave us and again it's a very long and detailed prompt now the next step is we want to go ahead and write in forward slash shorten and then we're going to copy and paste in that exact same prompt hit enter when you do that you'll see this it says here important tokens and then it gives you five options here so we can select one of these five and these are just shortened prompts so what mid-journey is trying to do and this is version 5.2 is just trying to take your long prompt and turn it into a more succinct shorter prompt now let's go a little further here so I can click one two three four or five if I want this guitarist cyberpunk pink or I can click on the first one comic columbian girl etc etc if I click on show details now watch this it breaks it down into tokens and tokens as you are probably aware are the the chunks or the pieces that AI looks at when you're trying to determine how much value to a portion to a particular word or phrase so if I look at this here under important tokens it says detailed point zero three comic point zero seven illustration point zero two of a columbian point zero six etc etc so you can tell how much each word is valued and you can also tell that they're sort of they're they're valued independently so it's not like columbian girl revolutionary guitarist that's basically four different tokens as opposed to one so it's important to keep that in mind when you when you look at creating your prompts but anyways there you go you'll see here that this is what it's come up with you'll also notice that it's giving you a graph and if you look at guitarist for example that gave a value of point nine six so it's nearly a one value so that is very highly rated and then you'll also look at the word pink where's pink in here pink is given a one point zero zero value so there you go this is the first step in terms of like creating shorter shorter prompts but also understanding what mid journey's thinking when it creates a prompt the next step I'm going to show you another thing you can do is I'm going to go forward slash imagine spacebar I'm going to command and paste in that piece again but watch this I'm going to go and start putting in commas and I'm going to start putting in double colons so that I give actual values and weights to each into piece independent based on what I want so here we go detailed illustration of a columbian girl revolutionary guitarist cyberpunk headpiece so I'm going to go right here and start here I'm going to go colon colon cyberpunk I want to give that a value of one point zero so what did I do I put in colon colon one point zero headpiece I'm going to leave that as is pink short hair okay I'm going to go ahead and put pink and I'm going to actually leave pink as it is I'm going to put short I'm going to make that about more valuable so I'm going to go colon colon and then space one point zero so it's pink short hair but short has been given a one point zero zero value where if you look up here in the original where is it is to to to pink short hair has a point one four value so I'm going in and manually changing this so if you don't get exactly what you want you can go in here and start making changes so I like this word vibrant I'm going to increase that so in the current version vibrant has let's see where vibrant is that's not very high so vibrant has point zero two so I'm going to change that colon colon point I'm going to go point two five and there you go I'm going to go ahead and hit enter and then watch this it's going to redo this but it's going to go with my token weights specific token weights so I'm going to let this process when it comes back I'll show you what we got we'll wrap it up all right welcome back so here are the four that it came up with and by and large it's done a pretty good job it's a little different if we look at it compared to the originals not a huge difference but yeah a little different but you'll see here that for example when I increase the vibrant score it's got a nice vibrant look to it it didn't do a good job with the word short and I think that's because it's pink short but uh there you go you'll see that I think you know I changed it to one point zero and you know it did its thing vibrance up let's see what else did we make a change to cyberpunk yes we gave a higher value to cyberpunk and it does have a nice cool cyberpunky look to it so there you go this is basically how you can go in and override the values inside mid-journey version 5.2 thanks for watching
