  1. In classifier-free guidance, what does a negative prompt replace?
    • The positive prompt
    • The random seed
    • The empty unconditional prompt
    • The VAE decoder
  2. Why might writing 'no cats' in the main prompt actually produce cats?
    • Text encoders handle negation poorly, so the word 'cats' still pulls the image toward cats
    • The model deliberately ignores instructions it disagrees with
    • The seed already contains a cat
    • Negation automatically doubles the guidance scale
  3. Why does classifier-free guidance roughly double the compute per step?
    • It uses two seeds at once
    • It decodes the image twice at the end
    • It upscales the image at each step
    • The model predicts noise for both the positive prompt and the negative or empty prompt
  4. According to the guide, which negative term is most likely to have a strong, reliable effect?
    • 'bad anatomy'
    • 'watermark'
    • 'ugly'
    • 'extra fingers'
  5. What happens when you use a negative prompt with a guidance-distilled model that skips the unconditional pass?
    • It works twice as strongly as usual
    • It is treated as a second positive prompt
    • It is ignored unless the tool turns true CFG back on
    • It causes the model to crash
  6. What is a likely downside of a very long negative prompt list?
    • Less varied images with stiff compositions or distorted colors
    • Faster generation
    • Guaranteed correct hands
    • Higher output resolution
  7. In ε = ε_neg + s · (ε_pos − ε_neg), what does s represent?
    • The seed
    • The guidance scale
    • The number of steps
    • The sampler type
  8. How is a negative prompt different from a post-processing filter?
    • It is applied only after the final image is produced
    • It removes objects using a hand-drawn mask
    • It affects only the file's metadata
    • It influences every denoising step during generation
