P: Generated images violate user guidelines

So as you can see, it's a PG-13 relatively inoffensive image of a woman in a bunny outfit. The top worked fine, and I was able to complete the top ear, which is cool. When I tried to extend the bottom with generative fill, though, I got this warning. They're just a pair of legs wearing stockings, and I wanted to extend it.

It feels like a false flag - though I could be wrong? I find myself thinking it would do the same for women in swimsuits.

Figured I'd share here.

There is nothing idealistic about you. I respect how you earned the community expert badge. I wish you were in charge at Adobe. 🙂

Speaking of Adobe, I understand there's a link to the $9.99 plan, but uncovering it isn't exactly straightforward. When folks are searching for Adobe's prices, they typically follow one of two basic methods:

They resort to a Google search for Adobe prices, which leads to https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html.
They head to http://www.adobe.com and either click “Start free trial” or navigate through “Creativity & Design” to “View plans and pricing.” It's worth noting that clicking “Start free trial” opens a window (as shown in the screenshots) with no mention of the $9.99 plan. Moreover, both “See all plans and pricing” and “View plans and pricing” lead to the same page at https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html, which conspicuously lacks information about the $9.99 Photoshop and Lightroom bundle.

Interestingly, the only way to land on the link you highlighted is by specifically clicking on “Photo” from the above-mentioned page, or by choosing “Photographers” under “Creativity & Design” on the main page.

It's quite evident that most individuals are naturally drawn to that enticing “View plans and pricing” blue button, which regrettably doesn't guide them to the elusive $9.99 offer.

One would expect the “all” includes ALL packages, so there's no need to navigate the categories.

@zvi_t not being an idealist at all but also don't care for disinformation.

The pricing structure is clearly posted and even has a convenient comparison page outlining the details of each plan before purchasing. Maybe you should refresh your view and take a look.

There is a link to compare plans on each purchase page - Creative Cloud, Photoshop, etc. that takes you to this helpful matrix to make the right decision. How do you consider this "misleading"?

If you find ads disruptive to your work focus, you have the option to pay $5 for every 100 credits once you reach your limit. Personally, I can't afford to do so, and I wouldn't choose to pay extra on top of a subscription. I'd rather continue seeing ads.

Adobe should follow the example of many other apps by giving users the choice to either purchase additional credits or view ads, similar to how YouTube offers Premium for an ad-free experience. This way, it would be a win-win-win situation, and everyone could be satisfied. If Adobe requires additional funds to compensate photographers for their images, that responsibility should not fall on the users. There are legal ways to train AI models without having to compensate photographers.

Adobe has the right to prioritize its own financial interests, just like most companies do. They aren't unique in that regard. Regarding the $9.99 plan, let's not idealize Adobe simply because we're on their forums. The primary pricing page displays the $19.99 Photoshop/Lightroom plan with 1TB of storage. If you're not familiar with where to look, you might not even realize there's a cheaper $9.99 plan with 20GB. Is this a transparent practice? No. Do many people end up paying $19.99, believing it's the best option? Yes. Is Adobe misleading these users by not prominently featuring the more affordable plan? Unfortunately, yes.

When integrating AI into your life, you often end up paying various fees like $20 for ChatGPT, $5 here, $10 there, and it all accumulates. While it's true that AI generation requires substantial computing resources, companies seem to prefer charging users instead of incorporating ads.
