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.

@E250916993jnw, ha, re your point: “Meanwhile if you learn real art this is the foundation where you start,” I'm reminded of Szukalski, who complained when ordered in art school to learn from live figures, saying, “Working from the model destroys the talent.”

Before everyone goes off on some tangental rant about dystopian censorship [too late!] - ever thought that this is simply a bug in a beta release? Try entering a prompt, even a simple one and the error response goes away...

It's pretty much useless for beach photography, sports photography. Whether a man or a woman it'll say it's violating community guidelines. Was this tool designed by a radical cleric? Lol.

 

The reason why these tools tend to fail on hands and feet is because these AI companies tend to steer clear of human anatomy (inherently 'evil'). Meanwhile if you learn real art this is the foundation where you start.

While most censorship and content restrictions are valid, placing too many restrictions like those on visuals such as blood is unnecessary and hamper creativity. I wanted to turn a portrait of a model into a vampire and wanted some blood dripping from her mouth. But even a little trickle of blood violates the guidelines which seem intentionally set up to be broken even by those with purely creative intentions.

Hi, I've had two instances of the generative fill refusing to continue due to 'not complying with community guidelines'. The first was when I tried to remove a tattoo on a man's chest, and the 2nd was when I tried to extend a tulle skirt to allow an image to sit in a higher position on the page (no skin visible at all). Seems very weird that generative fill is 'policing' content that I produce in the privacy of my own computer. Even if I did want to produce an explicit image (which I don't) what's the problem?

Hi @FrangipaniOz try entering a prompt and not leaving the generative fill blank.

Also there is a new version that may help. You may have to uninstall the beta first to see the new version available.

Ditto - editing flowers and using Generative AI results in "violations".

The false flagging is so ridiculous I also took and uploaded video.

Trying to fill in the background on an image & my Generative Fill gives me an error message saying "The generated images were removed because they violate user guidelines."  I was able to use it on other images, but this one has repeatedly been blocked.

Hi @Sandy Photog did you enter a prompt? If not try and see if that works.

Also there is a new version available you can try.

Being a fan of zombie films - not for blood and guts but for the post apocalyptic theme, I thought I could bring them closer to home by taking a photo of the street outside and asking generative AI to put a zombie hoard on it, it tells me the image was removed as it violates guidelines.

 

I got a work colleague to try the same thing on a garden picture only to get the same thing.

 

It seems as though the word "zombie" is enough to trigger the AI warning.

 

Given zombies are part of poular culture, why does Adobe AI not like them?

 

I managed to get the likes of Bing AI to generate zombie images but only in generic AI generated settings.

 

Maybe the blood and guts images of zombies might not be suitable but one can generate hoards of zombies without showing blood and guts spewing out. The other AI did a good job of this.

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.
