    "Catastrophic Forgetting" is a well researched topic in GAN and diffusion models, where the more training you perform, it "forgets" prior training: this is most visible in some of the lower quality ""finetunes"" floating around, where the model output reliably reflects a certain style, but contains very little flexibility to produce anything but standing/leaning cowboy shots of medium bust girls facing the camera. I'm not sure that this could ever be "beaten" (and if so, it would be by some research team at harvard, not some rando trying to proompt the biggest horkiest tiddies on their 3090) ..^([sic])

Origin

An alteration of prompt, possibly on the pattern of coom, influenced by the 4chan -oomer suffix for forming Wojak names and derogatory agent nouns. In modern usage, the misspelling is deliberate, but accidental errors can be found much before the widespread adoption of AI.
