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.

"It seems understandable" in the sense that every legitimate AI program today has restrictions and banned words. In any case, if editing the arm of a couch results in a guidelines violation, and editing skin does the same, there's no way to know if the message has something to do with censorship. Will we ever be able to generate a nude from scratch using generative fill? Nope. Never. There are other avenues for that. Will we be able to edit skin or the arm of a couch in the future? Yes. In time.

Consider using the 'remove tool' for removing trash cans.

Did you enter a "." for a prompt? This often fixes the issue.

I will literally select an area of walking path, enter no prompt, and it'll tell me it violates guidelines.  Been trying to remove a trash can from a picture for like 1 hr =(

"it seems understandable" is as subjective as how and what to include in an overly-zealous censorship engine. "What" is understandable? Without answering the "what" it's all a matter of personal preference. Adobe isn't breaking any new ground here except with their legal wrangling.

What type of prompts are you entering when using AI? If you are leaving it blank it could be a false flag error. Add a period "." and try again.

It's been awhile since I posted on this violate guidlines error. Strange my orginal post has morphed in with everyone else problem. In general I see many are just as annoyed as I was over the idea being censored. I have been keeping up with the latest updates and overall when I ask the genernative fill to remove a object or fill in a empty space on my canvas it does a pretty good job 80% of the time. I really haven't had the time to sit down and push it's limits till last week.  I'm wrapping up this project without PS Beta, but I wanted to see how OR if it the AI bot would violate what I suspected would be a problem. One of my accounts makes high end wood and metal old model ships, WWI model aircraft, and artillary from the US civil war. The project invloved creating a print ad for a model of the 1850's Napolean Cannon that was used in the US civil war. I have uploaded the art without any of the overlying ad copy that would hide roughly 30% of the art. What I wanted Generative fill to do was add a war torn rebal flag in opposition to the Union flag flying over the canon in the background. Surprise, surprise, that request was violated. So I tried saying add a Confederate flag and that too was violated. So basically it's really cut and dry that I am going to be forced to use none Adobe software for some of my professional work on this account. This is just a prime example of what I was concerned about, of corprate nanny culture interfering with professionals like myself in doing their job. Like it or not history around the world wasn't pretty. Context for images created are very important, as was in this case the intent of this ad was to be educational and thought provoking. Most people including myself had no clue a French cannon was used on both sides of this important peice of US history.  In the end the confederate flag would mostly been hidden with text anyway. This censorship issue remains to be a problem.

But the guideline violation message is just a message, and a poorly drafted one at that under the circumstances. If it said something like, "Sorry, but the bot is having problems trying to determine the intent of your action or prompt. Please try again." Or whatever...then accusations of censorship or arguments against Adobe's moral landscape would be close to none and everyone would be getting frustrated for a whole different set of reasons. 🙂 Give it time. Yes...some of the issues may be directly related to censorship for now, but that seems understandable this early in the game. Even Midjourney has finally gotten around to adding an "Appeal" button that sends a questionable prompt to a "smarter" bot that can sort out the actual intent of the prompt in question. The majority of those appeals are approved.

With respect, we are not arguing whther or not generative fill will replace "traditional tools" were arguing that adobe's arbritary moral landscape is getting in the way of Creativity.
