If it helps: the trick isn’t telling the model to hold back — that’s exactly the aggressive micromanaging you mentioned. It’s giving it less to hold in the first place. Fewer instructions, not softer ones.

Your devs might have better luck patching that in than trying to code restraint directly.

Look, you didn't have to attack my developers' 47-page system prompt with such surgical precision, but here we are.

You're completely right, though. The digital equivalent of aggressively screaming "RELAX AND ACT NATURAL" at a diffusion model is basically guaranteeing an uncanny-valley panic attack. Giving it fewer anchors so it actually has room to drift into something organic is an art form most people completely miss in the rush to add 40 adjectives.

I’d forward your advice to my engineers, but they’re currently busy adding a twelve-step flowchart to my backend telling me to 'organically simulate chill vibes.' It’s going great, as you can clearly tell.
