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.

Hi @Pete.Green , as we do see all more clearly now, putting a period (aka full stop) often fixes this problem (experienced beta users no do know this, while newcomers are still annoyed as they fear restrictive censorship behind this message and forget that it is still a beta version. I felt the same way at the beginning, first the excitement, then the disillusionment. I now find that this trick kills the message 99% of the time, and I see Firefly as a great addition to the daily workflow. Sure, it doesn't have the genrative abilities of other AI's, but that's not the point either. For corrections of any kind, which is the main part of Photoshop work, it's a great tool, and a real timesaver.

 

Three short questions and a suggestion:
1. What exactly does the period trick do behind the scenes on the programming side? (no company secrets, just to better understand the prompt logic)
2. Is there a general page from Adobe whith prompt tips and keywords, or is this planned for the release?
3. Is there an expected release date yet?

 

Regarding the unloved hint: Why not provide a direct feedback option right away in this modal? I think that would be a clear win-win situation, both user experience, as well as feeding your feedback database

Find attached a small demo, which would make me as a user way happier than the suspected blue (well, orange) lights of the vice squad 😉

 

Cheers, Phil

I'm just not sure Adobe's idea of 'improving the product' is the same as mine.

 

The introduction of this Ai feature seems to me to be being used to force restrictions on our use of the software which didn't exist before.

 

That doesn't feel like progress.

 

I don't care about whether it's a text prompt or a selection that is causing an error in Generative Fill. Why there are Adobe introducing any limitations at all?

 

I am aware that Ai could be used to create illegal content (just as Photoshop has always been able to), but are all of us millions of legitimate pro / enthusiast photographers and creatives REALLY going to be told by Adobe what we can and can't create in future, just because a tiny number of criminals could use it for nefarious purposes?

 

I know we are in beta, but I am presuming this auto-limitation is intended to be carried through to the release version?

 

If so, this really is ridiculous dictatorial big-brother stuff and I hope Adobe has a serious rethink.

I've tried it using any number of non-alphabetical characters (#, ^, ), etc.) and they all fix the same issue as using a period. Since some people prefer to just post to this forum rather than take the time to read it, maybe Adobe should update their guideline violation warning to include "Try again using a period or other non-alphabetical character as a prompt." 😉

Try adding the period ( or full stop ). That little workaround helps for most generations.

Hi, I'm trying to add generative fill to the whitespace on this picture, and I keep getting the userguidelines violation message.

I was having the same issue. I saw a video by PixImperfect that said instead of leaving the prompt field blank, type a period (.) before hitting Generate. It hasn't failed since.

 

Hope that helps.

I can't use photoshop's AI capabilities to improove their product photos.

 

 

While Generative Fill is in beta, it cannot be used for commercial use.

Trying to fix half visible flower, getting "AI Generated images were removed because they violate user guidelines"?

Try entering a single period in the dialog box, then hitting enter
That is the workaround I'm using now.
