AI image prompting is a dark art. You can specify to the nth degree what you want and the generator churns out something 180 degrees opposite. At other times, you can give the bare minimum prompts and get a masterpiece. Sometimes positive and negative prompts are ignored until find the magic combination of prompts, workflow, LoRA, and generator settings that do what you want. It’s a free service so I can’t complain about what comes out.
In this particular case, I’m to blame for the derpy BG character. I left off the solo & 1girl positive prompts (I was remixing another user’s image, and they didn’t use them. I overlooked the omission, so my bad).
I agree that AI image generation should be a springboard to enhance a creative idea or process rather than a creative goal. I’ve gotten plenty of story ideas from my own gens and browsing other images here and on CivitAI.

LunaIsBestPony explained the problem, where-as I explained my preferred solution (make up something creative to explain it, thus turning AI into a springboard, rather than an end-point* of creative endeavor).
*Note I didn’t say “death of”. I suspect prompting is an art in and of itself, both in subject (creative), and technically (finding the phrasings that get the speedy idiots that are AI to do what the promoter wants).

CivitAI defaults to making poor copies of ponies for background characters. Its kagebunshin no jutsu is terrible.

One of them is the new water-resistant upgrade of Sweetie Bot.
