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.

Since Adobe has already started pushing ads about the new generative fill feature in Photoshop, I suspect that the programmers are working as hard and as diligently as they can to get things working properly. But this incredible feature (at least when it's working, which I suspect is most of the time) is and will probably remain in beta for quite some time to come.

I've noticed this often helps as well. Never thought of mentioning this

When I run into guideline issues, it often helps me to flatten the layers and then try again.

I got it to work using my method of making a small additional selection on the dark background curtain.

Have any of the complainers uploaded their files as requested by Adobe? That is the only way the problem will be resolved.

@PeterGJones what did you enter for a prompt? I used your image and put a period "." in the Gen Fill prompt and it cleaned up everything including your arrow.

CAn one of you Adobe employees explain WHY you are censoring everything we try to do? I can understand blocking unlawful acts as per the territory in which your software is used, but when you are telling us what we can and cannot have in a professional photoshoot..you must have a good reason- We'd love to know what it is?????

I was trying to eliminate the white specks with generative fill on the couch shown in the picture. The couch is sort of white people flesh colored and the censor does not you messing with it. This is a real pain and should be fixed.

We're going backwards here, with our software telling us what we can and can't do.

 

My car doesn't have a 70MPH limiter on it to stop me speeding. The knives in my kitchen weren't blunted on purchase to stop me stabbing someone. My printer doesn't have AI in it stopping me printing nudes and pasting them up all over town!... so why does Adobe think my photo editing software should be my nanny?

 

Many of here are experienced pros and we know the many rules and laws which govern what we do. We don't want to be told what to do by our computers, nor for for them to summararily decide we're guilty of something!

 

I'm an adult. I've worked for 35 years as a pro photographer, with 25 of those in newspapers. All kinds of subject matter crossed the desk during that time, from bombings and disaster scenes, to scantily-clad models in swimwear shoots. The whole time, I, my colleagues and my editors had free rein to edit all such material, with our own sense of decency, propriety, free-will and ultimately the law to keep us in check.

 

NOW apparently Adobe thinks it's okay for my COMPUTER to tell ME what I can and can't do. We are supposed to be in charge of the computer, not it in charge of us!

 

What's Adobe going to do next?... Maybe tell us we can only feature subjects of a certain ethnicity, or gender, or age, or only let us use the colour blue? Maybe they'll stop us editing images of politicians THEY don't like!?

 

This isn't just about AI. There has clearly been a POLICY DECISION that Photoshop should start controlling its users.

Since this thread's inception, numerous posts have been made detailing the "against user guidelines" issue.

Has Adobe addressed the issue and made any announcements about upcoming fixes? Any updates regarding AI technology? With generative fill, the remove tool, and Firefly Beta, I've had a lot of success. Everything is magic. I'm eager to see how the AI fixes this significant flaw.
