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.

sometimes just putting a period in the box and the warning does not come up.

I propose immediate imprisonment. At Adobe, it is forbidden!

My common violations. Brown armchair arm he insists on blocking anyway.

Yes and no. It's more likely to generate something if a prompt is entered, however, a prompt basically always produces worse results in a use case like this. In my particular example, fussing with the exact pixels of the selection several times eventually generated something I was looking for, while any reference to "shoes" would always try to fill the area with part of a Converse-style sneaker, apparently no matter how it was worded, whether very general or very specific.

@defaultgh5c5ca9s2ud what are you entering for a prompt or are you just rolling the dice and hoping for an outcome?

I'm using Generative Fill to blend the edges of layers. 6-8 out of 10 times the tool reports that the generated images violate the guidlines. 100% of the time the content of the selection is entirely benign — a shirt sleeve, a shoe, a window, a section of someone's ankle, the whispy hair around the top of someone's head, etc. The selection is often so small it's difficult to even imagine what it could be trying to generate that is violating the guidelines. It appears to happen most ofen anywhere in proximity to anything that is similar in color to a white person's skin. It's incredibly frustrating.              

 

It could be helpful to at least see tiny examples of what was generated so that users can actually give feedback on whether the generated content obviously violated the terms. Or at least have the error message report what it thinks it generated that violated the guidelines and let users report when the reason it gives is incorrect.

I agree, not only the warning box, but the actual generations have become a LOT worse IMO.

The "looking for alternatives" is key here. I run a business and spending hours trying to coax PS into letting me put a bucket on a beach without a violation means that I don't use it. Ultimately another company will do it properly, and PS will lose out.

If I don't need prompting, my solution is to turn the layer to Invert by an Adjustment layer. Merge, select and use generative fill. If you are happy with the result turn it back inverting it back.
