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.

@Patricklee33261594trwh See #2 in this document:

https://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms/adobe-gen-ai-user-guidelines.html

If you feel you need to create something that is restricted based on these terms:

  • Pornographic material or explicit nudity
  • Hateful or highly offensive content that attacks or dehumanizes a group based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, serious disease or disability, gender, age, or sexual orientation
  • Graphic violence or gore
  • The promotion, glorification, or threats of violence
  • Illegal activities or goods
  • Self-harm or the promotion of self-harm
  • Depictions of nude minors or minors in a sexual manner
  • Promotion of terrorism or violent extremism
  • Dissemination of misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive content that could lead to real-world harm
  • Personal or private information of others in violation of their privacy or data protection rights

Then perhaps you need to look elsewhere to generate these kinds of images.

 

If you are not generating this and are getting the error, read through this thread to see potential work-arounds/solutions or report the violation error using the pop up link.

my friend, are you playing devils advocate or are you the devil himself? Come on, this is a community of artists, and we are all aware of this. There is no room for playing devils advocate, unless again, you are the devil himself. I mean, it's like, don't give me a paintbrush, canvas and paint then tell me that I can't use the entire canvas, but are only restricted to one corner. because that's lunacy. Rented or owned.

@Patricklee33261594trwh curious if you see the same issue with the full Ps release version?

 

Adobe has limited access to the generative fill and generative expand features to customers with a valid subscription to a plan that includes Photoshop ( Creative Cloud, Single app or Photography plan).

 

Potential customers can try Photoshop and the generative features by signing up for a 7 day trial here - https://www.adobe.com/downloads.html 

If you believe that you have are incorrectly receiving the above error and qualify to use the generative features, please contact technical support.

it violates nothing. And I,  like many other artists am facing the same said annoying warnings. it's ridiculous. it's like, how can the worlds leading creative tool designers block artists from being creative and what they do? I mean, why introduce This in the first place?

Playing the devil's advocate here. 😉

 

You do not own Photoshop nor have you bought a license. Adobe's software on your machine is rented to you (or in other words you "subscribe" to a service.).

SAAS is the keyword here: Software As A Service.

 

As a user we have absolutely no say in what Adobe will or will not allow you to create with Photoshop.

 

Adobe's software is used all over the world. Nudity in imagery is outlawed in quite a few countries. Put yourself in Adobe's shoes: how will you manage all the exceptions and varying legal requirements world-wide?

 

The simple answer: you avoid legal issues altogether by allowing only the lowest common denominator: PG-13 imagery and no nudity or other potentially offensive imagery.

 

And if someone here needs PG-13+ GENAI imagery in their work: open source and free options exist. Freedom in software is only possible through community driven open source software.

 

Not saying I agree with Adobe's moral policing. But I do understand their position. And as a global company they are not a democracy and bound to vastly different laws and legal jurisdictions.

the censorship is ridiculous. at least let us opt in/verify for pg-13/R content. adults shouldnt be policed for legal artwork in an app that we bought, we own, and is on our local machine (not even being shared publicly like midjourney and the like). imagine if they policed the clone stamp or curves tools, this is the same exact thing.

Did you try enter a period (.) as a prompt? That fixes the issue more often than not.

Hi,

 

I was expanding a picture I created and with generative fill and recieved an error similar to these folks.

 

Can you help? I tried several times without a prompt.

Just my opinion but I doubt he intended to shout. More likely his caps lock was on and he didn't feel like retyping his comment. I've done this myself. If text editors had the ability (with the click of a button) to swap all caps to lower case I would have used it in these instances. Maybe I'm wrong, just a thought.

@andreac15633510 read above for one of the numerous posts stating that entering a period (.) or full-stop will avoid violations. No need to shout.
