Content Violation Warning

We are creating character concepts using ChatGPT 4 (DALL E) for a children’s book. Here is the prompt for the last one:

I need to create a character. Sofia, cute 12 year old Asian Indian girl, longer length black hair, black eyes, white shirt with black leggings pants, hand drawn cartoon style, on white background. Aspect ratio 9:16.

Could someone please shed some light on this?

Try providing more context eg: "I need an illustration for a children’s book… " to reassure it that you’re not wanting inappropriate pictures of a 12 year old.

More likely “Indian”. The content policy moderations doesn’t know what kind of Indian you’re being insensitive about. The AI may try to re-write it:

How to stop DALL-E from changing prompt?

I am trying to work with Dall-E API for creating an image. When I enter a prompt that has something like “an Indian cricket player”, it auto-corrects to “a South-Asian cricket player” and misses the point. For example, this was my original prompt: A young Indian cricket batsman executing a perfect shot. Dall-E corrected it as: A young South Asian cricket batsman executing a perfect shot. Based on the documentation, I updated my prompt to include the terms to prevent prompt tampering by …
