Struggling to use AI image generators? Today's prompt comes from ZDNET contributor Lance Whitney, who suggests letting a chatbot design the perfect image-creating query for its corresponding generator.

Prompt:

I would like to create an image of a sunflower made of sheet metal in a pencil drawing style. Generate a prompt that I can use to request this image from [Nano Banana or ChatGPT Images].

The process is simple: "In my prompt, I supply just the basic details of what I want and then ask the AI to generate a full prompt based on that," Whitney said. Another benefit: When chatbots design their own image prompts, they avoid including language that the generator might flag or refuse, which makes your querying process smoother.

I tested it out with Gemini and ChatGPT for their respective image generators, Nano Banana and ChatGPT Images.
