"Sperm Whale" and "Moby Dick" forbidden prompts

I was trying to create images of "sperm whales" and "Moby Dick" on Firefly and the AI didn't work. It was so weird. Sperm whale is a name of a very common whale specimen (that whale with a big square head). Moby Dick is a very famous book and also a classic movie. Why did AI refuse to create images with these prompts? Does Firefly have a censorship with some words? Sometimes this Artificial Intelligence can be so stupid... I'm very frustred.
I'm using the Firefly 2 and 3, desktop version, iMac 2023 with Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 and Safari 17.5

Moby Dick has a trademark:

For words that are banned, the best way to report them is to click "Flag for Review"

 

 

Several websites agree with @droopydog500 about the scientific name.

Hi. thanks for your answer. Nope, your image is totally wrong. 
A sperm whale has a big forehead, Here, some images I found on Google.
Adobe Firefly is unabble to execute the prompts "Sperm Whale" and "Moby Dick" cause I think there is a stupid censorship with the words "sperm"and "dick". It's my conclusion, but I hope I'm wrong because it would be a very ridiculous censorship.

Hello @Flavia370981850lpq,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

In the situation where the common name for a plant or animal is blocked, sometimes the scientific term

works.

Physeter macrocephalus whale in ocean 


Is this the right whale?

Thanks,
