Nudity and other issues which appear to violate Adobe Generative AI Guidelines [merged thread]

"So, the solution is to look for alternatives to Photoshop."

==============

This topic is about Firefly, Adobe's AI image generating app.

Photoshop is first & foremost an image editor, and a very good one. You can use Photoshop to manually create whatever you want without AI.  Or you can combine it with other tools to create whatever you want. The possibilities are unlimited providing you have the talent & skills to do it.

If you want an app that lets you do whatever you want, you'll need to create one.

There are AI app builders available to help you. But you'll need a decent sized database of images to use for training because AI can't create something from nothing.  98% of Firefly is the quality & quantity of its source material, culled from curated Adobe Stock assets.

Incidentally, Adobe Stock does not accept nudity or other adult content.

Then provide different guidelines for different parts of the world.  

Yup, as you said, it's not just nudity at all. I had been trying to create events from my life, like during my infantry training almost 50 years ago. For example, an innocuous scene of a group of us 18 year old guys, running on an old airstrip before dawn, shirtless and wearing olive green PE shorts and tennis shoes. Wouldn't do it at all and told me I was trying to do something against the community standards - absolutely ridiculious. In the infantry, we often did things shirtless but, as soon as I used the term "shirtless" bells and whistles go off and it would not do it. I gave up on Firefly in late 2023 as it was too frustrating. MJ has similar issues but not quite as bad. I tried Adobe's product again about 2 months ago and still had bad results with people so I'm not overly impressed.

Then start using different guidelines for differeant area's.   

"Duh, it's not adult content when a man or woman in a bathing costume is
standing at a bar in the Bahamas. "

Maybe where you live... In other parts of the world, the decency police would disagree. 🙄

I'd run out of my four daily freebies by the time ChatGPT came close to getting in right. 🙂 I'm still not convinced I want to drop $20 for it.

"I wanted an image of two children standing in front of an abandoned, post-apocalyptic amusement park..."

Divide and conquer.  Generate the children as a separate image. Then generate the amusement park. 

Combine the two manually with traditional compositing techniques.

@c.pfaffenbichler You just highlighted a problem with AI, which is that most people don't realize that the term "AI" is almost meaningless because it covers such a broad range of different technologies. (Think how the word "vehicle" covers a moped, an SUV, a semi-truck, and a SpaceX Dragon. They have some technologies in common, but they are very different.)

Google Deep Mind solved the protein folding problem some years ago using a specific AI technology that grew out of their machine learning research. Co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, Sir Demis Hassabis, and Google DeepMind Senior Research Scientist Dr. John Jumper, who led the development team, were co-awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for that breakthrough. Yes, it is a kind of AI, an advanced type of machine learning, but should not be conflated with the technology behind Firefly or Adobe Sensei, just as you wouldn't conflate Toyota engineering with SpaceX engineering.

I know that probably seems picky, but it's important. "AI" is everywhere. Not all of it is real. We all have to understand what it is we're dealing with or we'll be swamped.

I think that honor goes to ChatGPT. I wanted an image of two children standing in front of an abandoned, post-apocalyptic amusement park, and it refused to generate anything that suggested harm to children.
