Prompt

{
  "prompt": "A detailed conceptual digital illustration depicting a vertical hierarchy of manipulation and control. At the very top, a massive, shadowy, horned demonic figure with glowing red eyes looms in a red mist, holding marionette strings. The strings control the second tier: a row of dark, hooded figures in black robes with glowing red eyes; the central figure has an 'All-Seeing Eye' pyramid symbol on their chest. These robed figures hold strings that control the third tier: a row of identical-looking men in business suits with red ties and pale faces. Below them is the bottom tier: a dense crowd of ordinary young people standing in darkness, heads bowed, staring blankly into smartphones that emit a hypnotic red glow illuminating their faces. The composition creates a pyramid structure of puppetry.",
