Tried to make a word in colorful teddy plush but it says me it is against the guidelines. 

So I tried to say fur instead. That worked but didn't give me the result I wanted.

You are absolutely right. When I try text to image generative A.I., I can't
even say "sexy woman" without it being rejected. It is also hopelessly
P.C. I asked for brick layers for the 1666 London Fire restoration, and
they had one black man, one Asian woman and one white woman laying bricks.
I think they have some kind of quota system. I would like to try to have it
do a group of sperm donors and see how many women they put in....except the
word 'sperm' wouldn't get past the censors.

Let's face it, Firefly has a lot of problems including those surrounding their "woke" programmers who decide certain words have the connotation THEY use. One wonders if they even speak English and realize many words have more than one meaning. I am frequently dissatisfied with results when I ask for artwork in a certain style or to imitate a certain artist. Cannot do people at all, inevitably when asking for blond hair the skin color and features are hardly European are dark to black. Firefly is far behind other AI generators...too bad, really. It would be useful for those of us who use Adobe products like PS and AI.

I'm glad to hear that Firefly rejected the word "dumb", as it gives the message that a disability makes a person flawed or “less than” — that disability is bad, negative, or something that needs to be fixed.

Not sure who you represent - Jane. I hope it's not adobe. I grew up with
"Dick and Jane" books. Perhaps you are also aware of the studies that some
names are positioned for failure?

It's a freedom of speech issue. Honestly, I don't care what Adobe "bad
words" are. I am asking for their list to decrease "mistakes" in prompts.

Thank you.

Please provide a list of "bad" words that Adobe doesn't like. The list must be extensive because even something as simple as "Dumb people reading" gets rejected. Countless other examples have occurred. I have to craft work around descriptions almost every time I use Firefly. Regarding the mentioned prompt, I was hoping for something cartoonish and funny. AI has no sense of humor. Please fix.

one of the MANY problems with adobe AI,  not only are they incredibly restrictive, but they are extremely inconsistent .

Hi @Javier37626234p7x6,

 

Can you please share your full prompt or a screen shot?  The word "bread" is not blocked for me:

full loaf of white bread 

 

Thanks,

I got censored typing "bread". Adobe should not do anything other than implement age verification. Incredible the power of generative AI that does not draw bread so as not to hurt our sensitivity. My 5 year old son draws bread and if you ask him he will surely draw you a knife, but Adobe Firefly doesn't do it to protect us... Thanks Adobe

Here's a strange one. My initial prompt generated a result. Then I chose one of the options I liked and tried to create additional gens based on that one.

 

I got the Oops monkey man saying I was being naughty. 😞

 

Happen to anybody else? Do we know why that might happen?

 

Best

Unfortunately , in addition to their canned response "our goal is to provide a safe ......" Adobe has already come right out and said that they refuse to tell us what the restricted words are and that they will not do so in the future. Their reason being that if we knew the restricted words that we would find other ways to say it in order to get the results that we want. $60 a month subscription, another 50 if I wanted substance 3d, and of course I'm the silly one because I think I should get the results I want instead of the ones Adobe says I'm allowed to have.

yes, I'm a bit embarrassed by my typos, but it still was worth showing how little Adobe cares, not to mention how little they pay attention.  Hey you just said you will no longer support our company, do you want to buy something else from us?
