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've been trying to generate a necklace but for the life of me the [cursing removed] thing is invisible every time.

Most designers and artists ARE against any kind of restrictions because we are adults. We are not more or less qualified than the other adults at Adobe at deciding what we want to create. What makes people at a software company in San Jose qualified to restrict what designers and artists can create? On the plus side, it opens the door to a lot of competition, which is always healthy. If Affinity Photo or Gimp implement a generative fill without restrictions, they will quickly take a lot of Adobe's marketshare. Just look at this thread. Hundreds of artists and designers being stopped from their daily work because Adobe decided they have the right to dictate what people who have paid for a product can do with it. And it's not lost on me that the petition posted here to end the restrictions was quickly removed by Adobe.

I prompted pose in the box and got a lady that had no top. Boobies clearly visable, BUT, horribly distorted.😅

Yep, it worked for me a coupl of times but it just doesn't create smoke lately at all.

CONSTANTLY getting the "generated images removed because they violate user guidelines" message for things that clearly do not come close to violating any guidelines. This definitely needs work.

Hi @robk76980083 would it be possible for you to share the .psd file with the GF prompts/layers for the team to look into?  Send to shubert@adobe.com

Whenever I need the smoke effect I see the "violate" warning.

Yeah, I ran into a similar roadblock while using the generative fill feature on a clothed photo of me flexing my biceps (I'm a bodybuilder) and received the same error. But I stumbled upon a workaround that could tide you over until Adobe rectifies this glitch. Here's what you need to do: pinpoint a part of the image that's not sexually explicit (or that could potentially be misinterpreted as such), and form a new duplicate layer from this unexplicit area. After that, select this newly created layer and use generative fill on it. So, if you're trying to modify the mouth, for instance, just make a separate layer of the face, select the mouth, and use generative fill on it. I found this technique effective. You can also select everything that is explicit, invert the selection to everything that is not explicit, and create a duplicate layer of that.

 

That being said, I'm pretty annoyed at Adobe's decision. It doesn't make much sense, especially when a lot of us Adobe users (myself included) often work with stuff that can be seen as sexually explicit. Some folks even use the software to edit proper adult content. I don't get why this would be a problem. The AI certainly doesn't mind.

 

I guess the only reason that makes sense is that this wasn't really Adobe's own choice, but a decision they had to follow. It's kind of like how ChatGPT doesn't write sexually explicit stuff; the limits probably come from the people who built the AI that Adobe uses to recognize patterns in pictures. They might have put in rules to stop people from using it with sexually explicit content. Even though this still seems like a weird decision by the developers, it suggests that Adobe might not be the one to blame for this.

All I've been using it for is on mock-up images of a plain wall and a picture frame. Sometimes I'll resize the picture frame and to smooth it out I'll use generative ai. It works a lot of the time, but also a lot of the time it says the generated image is prohibited. It's literally a plain wooden picture frame, with nothing in the picture,  on a white wall. Scandalous 🤣

This has happened on several occasions and is becoming frustrating. 

I make a selection inside an image, go to generative fill and hit submit. (no prompts input) 

I want to remove an object from a picture. Then I get a notice stating this violates community policy blah blah blah. 

I have done this before with no problem. Why all of a sudden would it violate anything? This continues to happen. Very frustrating.
