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.

Yep. Somehow Adobe feels "responsible" for what it is creating via genterative feature. Adobe's unprecidented "guidelines" are evidence to the fact that the work being "created" by artists via geneative fill is in fact being created or at least co-created by Adobe. That is the headline here. Adobe admits by applying a restrictive controller within the software that it does indeed take partial "ownership" of the work. Correct me if I'm wrong but Adobe has never withdrawn access to Photoshop or other tools from artists because of what the artist created with the tool. Adobe has never before seen itself as even partially the creator of our work.

It's actually a scary thought that Adobe will be determining what is
"suitable" for me to do.

Think of it this way... is it T-Mobile's job to listen in on your phone
calls and determine if you are saying something "unsuitable?" ...Or are
they just providing the service to connect you with another person?

Companies taking on the role of "content monitors" over the past decade is
a complicated issue-- I get it. Casting super broad censorship implemented
by AI, or otherwise, is frightening to creators.

What's next? You'll open your copy of Lightroom one day, and you'll get a
notice from Adobe that it sees "policy violations" in your Library and it's
going to stop you from editing a photo? As a professional photographer who
works with women, this is incredibly frustrating.

As a boudoir photographer I've had to deal with enough grief over the years
from platforms restricting me and my work... To be fair, I understand this,
to a degree, on a public platform...such an Instagram where photos are
public. What I don't get is Adobe restricting me from using the word "bra"
in the Generative Fill on my private PC.

Now, I understand this is new... and in beta... but it's still a bad
precedent.

Is it Adobe's job now to come into my home and stop me from doing my
professional job?

At this point it looks like we'll just have to wait and pray Adobe fixes this issure quickly. It is obvious the problem is not a guidelines problem but a real bug. No logic is involved when it gives the violation message on a rusty metal texture that was created with generative fill just moments earlier.

But its their own images they are flagging

The 'violate community warning' is problematic.

If the underlying image is perceived as 'risky' then it won't work, even when you ask for normal things, flowers, furniture, shelves, window. Those are not problematic items. The fact that the base image is considered unsafe, that's a bit of an over-reach, in my opinion. AI is producing flowers, where I put them is up to me. 

On some images AI will reach into unselected regions and alter things. I thought the whole point was to select out what you don't want altered and only work inside the selection.

Ex. on a skimpily dressed person when the background is selected and asked for something it did the background but also put underwear on the person, even though the person was unselected, so it reached outside the selection and changed underlying image.  I asked for flowers in the background, and I got flowers AND underwear on the model even though model was not selected and that layer deactivated/hidden below.

Too far.

I reckon I've probably had roughly the same amount of failed attempts. MANY of the ones that DID get through are dreadful

I often get these guideline problems and I have no idea why.  Can they add more details on why this was a violation?  I just clicked generate without adding any text.

Hi @Patrick22478442njpf in general, enter a basic prompt. You can also download the latest beta and see if this solves this. You may have to uninstall the beta first to see the new version available.
