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.

Adding another frustrated, working creative professional voice here - I'm unable to use generative fill for something as simple as improving the texture of a dress shirt when before I was able to create pretty much anything my imagination could come up with. The subject matter on my particular image is a boring asf male laywer headshot. Do you want us to use these tools or not? I get that we're in "beta" still so I'm not that surprised and I'm happy to help Adobe improve their tools but please make this tool more reliable over time not less...

I've now been having this issue on a senior photos. So obviously a very appropriate photo. I'm very frustrated because it worked once and now it's flagging everything.

On occasion, when a word is banned, I look it up on urbandictionary.com. There are often less than appropriate definitions for otherwise common words. This is an issue that will probably be fixed in time, especially once the bot learns to tale into account the context of the request.

Firefly doesn't like "nook", as in "a corner nook".  There's little rationality to it.  I wonder what it does about "beaver" and "butt", two words with straightforward meanings (an animal and the target end of an archery field)?

Strange, it works 100% of the time for me when I get a warning.

Adobe better change this in the official version. This "guidelines" thing is hypocritical since you can add weapons without so much as a beep

I would like to express my deep concern regarding the implementation of restrictive "woke" guidelines within your creative platform. As a long-time user of Adobe products, I have always admired the company's commitment to empowering artists and creators to express themselves freely. However, recent experiences have left me feeling frustrated and disheartened.

Specifically, I encountered an issue while attempting to generate an image of a fit person using Adobe's platform. To my surprise, I found that my creative endeavors were hindered by these guidelines, which appeared to limit the visual representation of certain body types or traits.

As a user, I firmly believe in promoting inclusivity and diversity within the creative space. Artists should have the liberty to depict individuals of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds without fear of running afoul of rigid guidelines. Creativity thrives when it knows no boundaries, and by imposing restrictions on harmless visual elements, the very essence of artistic expression is compromised.

It is essential to recognize that portraying a fit person is not synonymous with promoting body shaming or exclusivity. Fitness is a lifestyle choice for many individuals, and it should be celebrated as part of the diverse human experience, not restricted by guidelines that may inadvertently limit creativity.

I implore Adobe to reconsider the application of these restrictive guidelines and adopt a more balanced approach that encourages artists to explore a wide range of ideas and representations. By providing educational resources and support, Adobe can help creators approach sensitive subjects with tact and respect, rather than outright prohibiting certain visuals.

Moreover, transparency and open dialogue with the creative community are crucial. Collaborating with artists, designers, and users to gain insights into their concerns and aspirations will lead to a more nuanced and effective approach to inclusivity.

In conclusion, I urge Adobe to reevaluate the impact of these "woke" guidelines on creative expression. Let us work together to foster an environment that celebrates diversity, promotes responsible creativity, and respects the rights of artists to express themselves freely.

Generative Fill policy violation sensitivity has gotten WORSE not better with the new update release that contains "generative expand".  It is painfully frustrating.  I've been using and testing generative fill since it was released and applaude its capabilities.  I've also read the many, many issues users are having with the policy violations.  However, up until now, I was able to extend a background on a glamour image (such as a landscape) without raising the ire of the policy judge.  Now I am consistently limited....to the point of frustration.  This generative AI feature is turning into a toy, not a professional tool.  If that trend is what AI will do to Photoshop in the future then users will quickly become ex-users.

I installed the latest update of PS Beta this morning (25.0), worked on 3 images... 2 Female headshots and 1 Boudoir/Lingerie shot. I received no guidlines warnings and no scary monster generations. No fingers or toes in any of the shots, so time will tell.

 

I did have to rerender multiple times to get results that I could blend in to a satisfactory result, but it was a lot less time and effort than doing it the old way... meaning 1 month ago.

Are you using Generative Fill or Generative Extend, which is new in the latest version of photoshop?
