I Wasted Two Hours Prompting AI Before I Realized I Was Using the Wrong Tool

Description and use

<blockquote> <p>A real account of how I kept generating the wrong mug, and what finally fixed it.</p> </blockquote> <h2> Yeah, It Was a Mug 🫖 </h2> <p>My product photo problem was embarrassingly specific: a ceramic mug, matte white, sitting on my kitchen counter in front of a drying rack, a half-visible sponge, and what I can only describe as "ambient dish guilt."</p> <p>Not exactly the clean lifestyle shot I needed for a product listing.</p> <p>The mug itself was fine. Nice glaze. Good proportions. The kind of thing that photographs well if you ever get around to clearing the counter first.
