generative expansion of photos leads to inappropiate results

[JHimmen]

Hello,
I am concerned about some results of the generative expansion of photos...

Today I wanted to test this function after an Adobe newsletter reminded me of it. So I opened a group photo: me and some friends standing in a garden, nothing unusual about it. Our legs were not seen on this photo. Photoshop (v26.10) generated three variations for an expanded background. I entered no prompt.

One of the three generated images showed me without pants, holding something between my naked legs that (because of the pose) looked like a deformed p***s.

After a surprised laugh I realized how dangerous this is. Sure, the quality of the details is bad and so it is obvious that it is AI-generated content. But I get a bit sick to my stomach when I imagine people use this function on photos with children and then they appear naked in poses like this.

Now I wonder why there are no filters in place to prevent Photoshop from generating images like these? Or did they just not work in this case? This is no experimental feature anymore, it has been around for quite some time. And I didn't even enter any prompt. So there is no chance Photoshop could have misinterpreted anything I asked for.

I really hope that Adobe will handle AI technologies responsibly in the future, so I decided to report this.

Hi @JHimmen

Apologies for this experience, and thank you for highlighting the issue. This is definitely not the kind of AI result we aim for in any of Adobe apps. We’ll share this with the team for review, and make improvements in upcoming releases.
