==== 🧪 Why People THINK It Works (Important Part) ====

People aren’t crazy — they’re just mislabeling what’s happening:

===== ✔ Prompt Conditioning =====

Rare tokens like:

<syntaxhighlight>[QUALITY: MAX]
[REALISM: TRUE]
(MAX)

</syntaxhighlight>

…can slightly influence attention weighting in the model.
That’s prompt conditioning, not a hidden feature.

===== ✔ Variance Lottery =====

AI music generation is stochastic.
Sometimes you just hit a banger and credit the fake switch instead of luck.

===== ✔ Better Prompts Accidentally =====

When people add “MAX MODE” nonsense, they often:
* write longer prompts
* add clarity
* specify production intent

That’s the real improvement.
