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.

So happy to see this posted because I keep getting this error. I've restarted, used lasso tool, marquee, blank prompts for generative fill, commands.  I have a 30 second video of getting the violation warning while using generative fill on flowers, if anyone wants it. 

 

I'm not sure if this is important or not, but these violations usually pop up after I've been editing for maybe 5-10 minutes, after it has already generated numerous areas similar to the one I got violated on. The exception was this last time when I restarted my computer and attempted to use generative fill on the area that I was last violated on. The violation popped up immediately. 

 

I am absolutely in LOVE with these new features and can not wait for this stuff to be resolved.

Often the generative fill does not work when there are women posing in the photo. He accuses as if I'm violating some guideline, but I'm not violating guidelines. There is no pornography in the image or anything that will offend anyone.

HI @rafaelo69059271 try entering a basic prompt instead of leaving the field blank.

using the latest version, trying to add to a portrait photo, that contains a white lady, clothed in a blue dress, no amtter what i do I get a voilating guidlines error, i mean what guideline am i voilating ? with a ai tool like this i would expect it to have zero guidelines since i could be working on a fine art nude photo, i could be working on a photo containing weapons , if photoshop limits those type of photos and excludes them thjen kindly provide me with a list of allowed photos so that I can focus my photography work on those types of photos only

Same problem. I do a lot of hosiery related photos and I'd like to fix snags or add seams with changing clothes again or whatever and it seems to have issues with it. It's also something I do as part of my business. Hopefully they correct this. Especially since you have to be over 18 to use it, but in the case of nylons (clothing women wear) I've been wearing itvsince I was a teen. It's clothing we wear. Very weird and sexiest of adobe to flag it as violating guidelines. Men's socks work in the prompt but not womens nylons...

@Cwer34 I merged your new post into this thread. Creating multiple posts for the same issue will not escalate things.

Please note the word "beta" in the name of the application. Since we can't see the results of the images in "violation," we don't even know what is being violated. Nudity? Violence? Intellectual property? Nothing at all, other than what the bot mistakenly construes as a violation? The only real issue I have in this sense is that we can't view those results, thus we can't report on them to better train the bot. But perhaps Adobe is doing so on their end.

You are correct. 😀 I wasn't super clear... as I wrote that running out the
door this morning.

We are talking about two entirely different things, and mixing them--
censorship vs intent.

In my work as a boudoir photographer if there is a situation where for
creative purposes a client would like me to change the color of her
lingerie in a photo, and a tool like Generative Fill makes that task 100X
easier for me to do-- I should be able to select that area of the photo and
request "black bra set," to make a change. I shouldn't be seeing warning
messages regarding "policy violations."

There will always be bad actors. Always. This cannot be "legislated"
away. Crippling a tool like Generative Fill with draconian AI censorship is
not the answer. Adobe should not be the absolute arbiter of good vs. evil,
right vs. wrong, but increasingly companies find themselves in positions
where they are more and more forced to do so-- which is never going to be a
plus for anyone who is a creative.

My bad attempt at a reductio ad absurdum was simply pointing out that
essentially ANYTHING can be proven "bad" or "evil." Generative Fill is not
evil. In your case, taking an image (or deepfake) created with Generative
fill or AI, and using it for an unethical purpose- or in a manner to cause
harm to an individual-- is a completely different argument-- I would agree
that that person should be held liable, and at a minimum it is an unethical
thing to do.

Yes, this violation sh.. popup window is even there when i have typed in a prompt word in the geneative fill text box. Please remove this restriction completely because it totally destroys the benefit of the new Photoshop AI "Generative fill" feature.
