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.

Given the fact that the Adobe team has requested to see example images
wherein the problem occurs, I get the impression they are not experiencing
the issue to the extent that we are, if at all. Despite what the message
says, I believe other issues are involved well beyond assumed censorship.

THAT's exactly the point I made more or less at the start of the testing ?

I think Adobe needs to get out of the content moderation process entirely, what we use the AI for is really none of their consern, they can't be held liable, and it ruins the experence. I've ran into dozens of issues with violating the guidlines just having the AI try and remove objects or generative fill, if the results were not something I wanted I wouldn't use them but censoring them before I get a chane to will just drive people to other tools that know their role in the community.

I think the criteria must be that the responsibility for the result image is the user, as the copyright is . So Adobe can keep improving without being judged.

Hello team. I work usually on beauty shots and every time I try to extend a led or an arm or even a background the error comes out. Where do I send the example psd file?

I was removing people from an image I took near Rockefeller Center. The first few passes using AI generated refill removed people perfectly but on 4th area when I hit generate fill to remove last group of people I got this message- "The generated images were removed because they violate user guidelines." The image was taken by me using my Nikon digital camera. The people I was removing were mostly dark blobs so no distinguishing features but it was just a distraction from the view I wanted. Can't imagine I broke any guideline rules but who knows this is all new to me.

I tried to remove a twig in the background and got the warning message, that I am violating the policies. It is a picture with a bird in it and lots of branches and twigs in the background. I tried it several times and kept getting that warning message, that the created imaged has been removed, since it violates the policies.

Generative Fill will not process images produced by JidJourney or Stable Diffusion. Photoshop beta gives error message "Generated images were removed because they violate our user guidlines"

The background I was trying to extend consisted of a beach (sand and stones) and the ocean, which was to the left of the subjects.  I did not include any of the subjects (or subject parts) in the selected area to extend.  I consistently got the "violated guidelines" alert and the generative fill was deleted.

The process worked when I extended to area below and to the right of the subjects but would not work when trying to extend the image to ghe left.

 

I was using the latest Beta version of Photoshop (16 June 2023)

How big was the image in pixels?

Can you upload the image so we have an idea what you were dealing with?
