Using round brackets in NovelAI is pointless.

The drawing AI prompts have different syntax for different services and systems, but people don't understand them.

For example, some people use the prompt with lots of round brackets for NovelAI.

Token emphasis with round brackets is a feature of AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui, it does not work in NovelAI.

To use a programming analogy, it's like "copying and pasting JavaScript code you find on the internet into Python code".

In programming, it's almost always an error, so it's an opportunity to learn that "the action is futile."

Unlike programming, drawing AI is error-free, so funny prompts get reproduced.

model: NAI Curated, seed: 42, prompt: cat

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{cat}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

So you've over-emphasized the token and deviated from the bounds of a decent painting.

On the other hand, if you do the same thing in round brackets, you get this

((((((((((((((((((((cat))))))))))))))))))))

The round brackets are not interpreted as token-enforcing syntax, but simply as a string of prompts.

The brackets are tokens that have little meaning, so even if there are 20 of them attached, they do not affect the picture of a normal cat very much.

I see...so people in China can't connect to NovelAI's service? Are they being monitored by the authorities?

If you're using the spill model in AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui, it makes sense that the prompt would be in that syntax.
