As of now (like literally this minute) you can’t ask ChatGPT Dalle t generate any image depicting someone smoking a cigarette or any tobacco products!! I asked why… their strict content policies are getting ridiculous now. Do they want us only to produce happy clappy images like a stepford wives image, where there is diversity, everyone is gardening, no one smokes, drinks or anything deemed unhealthy! Fictional characters won’t be allowed weapons next. All this stiffing of creativity is not a good thing. Are they going too far?
I think some people forget that art was always a way to push boundaries, not play within them.
These kind of guardrails are exactly why I struggle to use the DALL-E tool.
Revelation!! If you mention an African man smoking or drinking, it has absolutely no issue producing an image!! Racist much?! LOL Whoever is in charge of updates is a joke!!
just mention your character is an ethnic minority and they can still smoke and drink… probably would allow you to have them use a weapon too, because that is the general ‘stereotype’ DALLE has been trained with it seems for black people!! Hmmm lol I can laugh about it, coz its hilarious.
I mentioned ‘a man’ smoking a cigarette. So you have to mention a politically correct genders and ethnicity for the ‘we can not depict people smoking tobacco products due to healthy environments’ crap to magically go away now? I see! lol
No, as explained for very short prompts, GPT adds description… So, if you can’t share your original prompt that got you in trouble, we likely can’t help.
OpenAI is erring on the side of caution, so in these very early BETA days, we have to kinda work with what we’re given. Having been around since 2019, I’m fairly confident things will continue to improve. Hang in there. The feedback is helpful, I’m sure.
Hokey! Thanks. I’ll learn to jiggle my prompt about in future to bypass weird random policies, as I don’t know which ones are fiction or real anymore lol
Huh, fascinating results here!
I’m curious to see what will change when this exits beta.
Now, what I’d really like to see is to be able to generate figure art references, or just figure art in general. It’s bizarrely frustrating that one of the oldest artforms in history (and most prolific art content out there, let’s be real) still flags the guardrails, at least for all of my possible prompting I’ve tried.
I give all of you who use DALL-E for artistic purposes major props, because so far, none of the artwork I do in real life is allowed to be produced via DALL-E yet lol.
