Negative Prompts That Kill the AI Look

plastic skin, waxy skin, airbrushed, oversaturated, oversharpened, HDR, glossy, overprocessed, deep-fried, blurry, low quality, jpeg artifacts, extra fingers, fused fingers, extra limbs, deformed hands, mutated, bad anatomy, text, watermark, signature, logo, caption, frame, border, duplicate, cloned, lowres, worst quality

One block that kills the ten most common AI tells at once. Paste it into the negative field and most images immediately stop looking generated.

deformed hands, extra fingers, fused fingers, missing fingers, six fingers, mutated hands, malformed hands, claw hands, bad hands, extra thumbs, long fingers

The classic giveaway. Stack this when people or hands are anywhere in frame.

text, words, letters, typography, caption, subtitle, watermark, signature, stamp, logo, brand, label, ui, interface, gibberish text, garbled text

Stops the melted fake lettering AI loves to smear onto signs, labels and corners.

plastic skin, waxy skin, airbrushed, smooth skin, doll skin, cgi skin, porcelain, over-retouched, beauty-filter, uncanny, mannequin

Skin is where the uncanny valley lives. This block brings back pores and texture.

oversaturated, hyper-saturated, HDR, oversharpened, halo artifacts, deep-fried, overprocessed, neon, garish, blown highlights, crushed blacks, over-contrast, lens flare overload

The radioactive color-and-crunch look that screams AI from across the room.

plastic skin, waxy, airbrushed, doll skin, uncanny, deformed hands, extra fingers, crossed eyes, asymmetric face, extra teeth, oversaturated, blurry, text, watermark, duplicate, extra limbs, bad anatomy

The one-line preset for any shot with a person in it.

text, watermark, logo, label, hands, clutter, harsh reflection, blown highlights, oversaturated, plastic, fake bokeh, duplicate product, warped shape, low detail

For clean ecommerce and ad shots: no stray hands, no fake gloss, no duplicated product.

oversaturated, HDR, deep-fried, halo artifacts, gibberish signage, fake text, blurry, lowres, jpeg artifacts, watermark, oversharpened, unrealistic color

Keeps skies and foliage natural instead of nuclear.
