I frequently face these 2 errors when generating images in ChatGPT: 1. A lot of the time when I try to generate realistic images of people I get this message: “_I wasn’t able to generate the image because the request violates our content policies._” How do you bypass this issue? 2. The system 4o keeps kicking back the prompt, after 1 or 2 generations due to “policy breaking”, any tips or updates needed? ---
