Prompt burn-in?

[edwardsdigital]

Im having a weird issue occasionally that, due to a lack of a better description, I will call it “prompt burn-in”. It’s almost like the system gets a prompt stuck in its head. If I do multiple back to back generations on a prompt with very minor changes when I’m trying to dial in a result, and then change the prompt to generate a totally different concept, the system will continue to generate images similar to the first prompt. Sometimes I have to close comfy for a few minutes to get it to essentially reset and allow generation of a new concept.

Has anyone else noticed this, and is there fix for it besides what I’m already doing? If there’s already a thread relating to this I’d appreciate a link since my searches didn’t turn anything up and I haven’t gotten deep enough into how stable diffusion works to know why this happens yet to make a more informed search.

After a bit of searching online I found an old thread on reddit talking about prompt ghosting which sounds like what I have experienced.

They talk about it being an xformers artifact so I am going to attempt a few experiments and see what I can figure out.
