OpenAI has just become completely un usable, any prompt I try to run even trivial image generation runs into the same error “involving biological research”. It’s an absolute disgrace, can’t even be used. And there doesn’t seem to be any way around this error. This has to be fixed, especially for a paid service.
Hi @keith.farrugia.24,
Thanks for reporting this! I understand how frustrating it can be when even simple prompts and image-generation requests are getting blocked.
OpenAI uses automated safety checks to detect content that may be harmful or go against our Usage Policies. Sometimes, these checks may also block harmless requests.
You can learn more about this in our Additional safety checks for biological and cybersecurity requests article.
If you believe the block is a mistake, you can use the thumbs-down option to share feedback when available.
If the issue continues, please contact support@openai.com with the following details:
- A screenshot of the error message.
- The approximate date and time of the error, including your time zone.
- A request ID, if available.
- An example of a prompt that gets blocked, with any sensitive details removed.
Please avoid sharing any sensitive or personal information.
