# Original ControlNet paper: 
# "In the training process, we randomly replace 50% text prompts ct with empty strings. 
# This approach increases ControlNet’s ability to directly recognize semantics 
# in the input conditioning images (e.g., edges, poses, depth, etc.) as a replacement for the prompt."
