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.

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?

I am not even doing anything in the body of a person now. See the white area I am selecting. I Just need to extend the background of this photo (a classroom with children), so the image adjusts to the different formats I need to generate and it won't let me, telling me it violates the guidelines.... I definitely understand the need to regulate these tools, but the restrictions need to be smarter.

I'm sure 99.9 % of us have dozens of violation errors for no reason what so ever. Ignore them and carry on as normal

I was trying to extend the image below, and GF did fantastic on the left, right and top, but when it came to the bottom, I got a violations error!  THAT IS HER ARM!!!  There is NOTHING wrong with this image and it should not have been flagged. And thanks to AI's failure to know what an arm is, I have multiple violation errors reported on my account!  Remove them, and fix this.

So I'm aware generative fill is not meant to create nudity, but i have a bunch of sexy pictures where some of them include nudity and the images themselves are smaller than I'd like & i wish to extend the canvas to my preferred desktop size (2560x1440) & then have the generative fill, fill out the background.

 

Is this still possible and okay in regards to the terms of service?

I don't want to start a subscription only to find out I can't use it for the main purpose i wanted it for.

Thanks Ged,

But the reason i ask is because i don't find the user guideline specific enough to understand whether my scenario is allowed within those guidelines.

 

As i understand it, it says: Do not use the generative AI to create pornographic material or explicit nudity, but i'm only interested in using the generative fill functionality to create boring backgrounds. However the original parts of the image could contain nudity.

Adobe Photoshop beta is rejecting pretty much all generative fills that involve people's skin. It says I am violatiing Adobe's rules but I am not. These images do not contain nudity or any other undesirable attributes. Can you please help?

Generatives Füllen ohne Prompts (also ohne Texteingabe) erzeugt fast immer einen Richtlinien Verstoß und funktioniert nicht.
