score_9, score_8_up, etc. were quality tags back on Pony. And I don't think they did much at all on photorealistic pony variants, but most people just copy others without thinking. It's very easy to run the same prompt and seed only changing one tag, see what effect it actually has.

>for cfg is it like to lower its brightness
Not brightness, contrast. Something's deepfrying your image, her skin is red with black spots everywhere and the sand looks like a carpet. I thought it might be CFG or the excessive negatives but after some tests that doesn't seem to be it. Maybe the clamps lora. Pic is what the model outputs for me.
