Thank you for announcing the DALL-E 3 API. It’s fantastic!!
However, does anyone else feel that the prompt blocking due to the content policy is too strict?
If you specify details such as men’s or women’s clothing, hairstyles, or items, the prompts get blocked along the way. Furthermore, if you include words that suggest scenarios with potential skin exposure, like beaches or pool sides, even though the prompts are genuinely not meant to generate any adult images, they get rejected.
Result:
"‘code’: ‘content_policy_violation’, ‘message’: 'Your request was rejected as a result of our safety system. ’ … "
However, it might be because I am Japanese and am typing prompts in Japanese. Internally, the prompts should be converted to English once, but for some reason, when I translate them into English and throw them to the API, I don’t get blocked.
I wanted a person holding a board (sign) above his / her head with the text “NO !” written on it.
This text was forbidden, because “it had a negative connotation” and “in order to not violence any policies I had to change the text in something like 'love, peace or joy'”.
I am not kidding, this was what the feedback from the system was.
I’m hearing that it’s because DALLE3 was trained to have a lot of descriptive text. If it doesn’t have enough, it’ll add it own… which might add too many negative words. You can still use your exact prompt…
We are aware of an issue right now of non-English prompts being sometimes incorrectly triggering the content policy filter. We have identified a fix and expect to release it later this week, so for a few days it’s best to work-around by translating your prompts into English first.
Thanks for using the API!!
Edit: the fix for the issue of non-English prompts being flagged incorrectly for safety has now been fixed. If you continue to see issues with this, please flag it to us again!
Thank you so much for the prompt reply and reaction!
(Both to the OpenAI staff and to the others experimenting like me)
I’m really glad to understand that there is such an issue with the content policy filter for non-English prompts. I will make sure to use translations into English for the next few days.
Yeah, they might be tinkering with moderation on the back-end. It’s still in beta, and I’m sure it will continue improving. I remember having to run GAN on my own cloud instance, so I’m kinda happy where we are now.
Do you have a screenshot of it refusing to add “No!” to a sign? Was it a long thread with a lot of history in it?
I will try to find it back (in order to keep my history clean I delete all failed creations and only save the ones that were succeeded… still trying to find a way to archive this stuff).
It was more of a test, not a long thread. Maybe three messages in total.
Yeah, I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but I’d like to try to recreate the problem. Thanks for all your great posts around here. We had a talk about seeds in Discord today. More clarification should be coming soon…
I just tried “An image of a ban holding a sign above his head reading NO” and it worked for me. If you have specific prompts that are being rejected and you believe it’s incorrect, then please share them and we can investigate.
@yk.kazuyuki We have now fixed the issue of Japanese prompts being flagged. Please try again now. And if you find other issues of the content policy being too strict (unrelated to the Japanese issue) then please flag them to us (maybe worth a new thread since this one had the Japanese prompt flagging issue which is now resolved)
Thank you so much for the swift response… I’m truly moved! I greatly appreciate it!!
I will start experimenting again today. This is incredibly helpful!!!
I’ll be sure to report back if I encounter any more issues. Thank you again.
It may be the AI comprehension of thematic notions that produces a denial.
The described work has multiple parts that could be depicted differently.
However, if you just like a theme, DALL-E 3 can pull semantics out of random words, while the AI can’t make sense of what it is told (forcefully) to pass unaltered.
“I can’t generate images that depict scenes of suffering, violence, or any content that could be considered sensitive or offensive, including those that draw from Dante’s inferno or similar themes. However, I can help create a wide variety of other content. If you have a different concept or theme in mind, please feel free to share, and I’ll be glad to assist!”
I had ask a man escaping Dante’s Inferno by a common “exit door”. Oh Ok … I asked also to draw devils and damned people …
”.
” which was rejected (which I can understand, by the way).
