My prompt for a sad robot painting gave me a clown party

I wanted to make a serious piece about technology and loneliness, so I typed in 'a lone robot sitting by a window in the rain, oil painting style'. I hit generate and waited. The image that popped up was a bright, shiny robot with a big red nose and three other robots wearing party hats, all laughing in a sunny field. It was the complete opposite of what I asked for. I spent like an hour tweaking the words, adding 'melancholy' and 'dark tones', but it kept giving me these weird, cheerful scenes. It felt like the AI just grabbed the word 'robot' and ignored all the mood words. I learned that getting a specific feeling across is way harder than just making a picture of a thing. The machine doesn't get 'sad', it just gets shapes and objects. Has anyone else had their whole artistic intent completely ignored like this?

Try describing the lighting and colors instead.

Describing lighting and colors" sounds like a lot of work for a casual post, scott.mia. It's not like we're getting graded on this. People can just post what they see.
