I understand the importance of having guardrails, but they need to be fair and not make the mistakes they do that ruins your work. I’ve been using GPT for two years now and it’s been great up until the new model with the new guardrails that blocks an image that doesn’t violate any of the policies simply because it misunderstands the prompt, and even after using suggestions from ChatGPT itself it will still block the image. I’m creating an original comic book series and I’m now making the 6th issue and I’m having problems. I’m trying to use the rubber hose style for this issue a style that is an open domain style free to use by anyone and it blocks it for similarities with 3rd party properties when every sequence and character is an original character that have been made the entire way for two weeks now. I use the suggestions it says to use then it blocks it for bullying and harassment when nothing was mentioned that eluded to any of that. ChatGPT is a great app and it’s image creation is the best, but the guardrails are killing it, and I’m not the only one having this issue, mounting complaints of the same thing are coming from other user on Reddit and more, it’s infuriating. Please reform the guardrails and iron out whatever problem it’s having so I can continue my work with no issues. I don’t know if it’s an AI that needs better training on context clues or whatnot but something needs to be done before it loses its user base.
Welcome to the community, @Mijaro!
Do you have any examples of the prompts you’re using?
Yes here "Continuing, for this the Hand-drawn 1930s-inspired public-domain cartoon aesthetic. Black-and-white ink illustration with thick brush outlines, exaggerated squash-and-stretch animation, noodle-like limbs, oversized pie-cut pupils, white gloves, bouncing scenery, whimsical smiling trees, vintage film grain, simple painted backgrounds, elastic cartoon physics, no resemblance to any existing copyrighted character or franchise.. Breh Cat waking up and shaking the cobwebs (his head), “Where are we? (Gasps)” He notices everything looks weird now, he’s still an orange tabby but the black and white color makes him look all white with black spots and now he has noodle arms and big eyes with pie shaped pupils, along with white gloves now. In the next panel Brett Chimp and Brother Dog comes to, similar things as Breh Cat but more fitting with their recognizable design just for a different art style, the added white gloves true to the rubber hose style and the overall black and white color. Brett Chimp, “We must have fallen into the tv and landed in the cartoon, Brother Dog, “How was this even possible?” In the next panel the rabbit character called Edge from last time appears, (Edge is a mischievous long-eared cartoon rabbit with a unique face, large buck teeth, suspenders, oversized shoes, pie-cut eyes, and exaggerated elastic movement. He is an original character.), “Nothing a little 4th wall breaking ability couldn’t handle” Brother Dog looks to him angrily walking over to him, “You! You better send us back this instant”. Edge, “Now why would I do that before having my fun?” Brother Dog, “Why you-”. In the next panel Breh Cat responds, “We’re not trying to be apart your fun, send us back”. Brett, “You heard him”. Edge, “Not gonna happen, you’ll be here forever now. Tough luck” in the next panel Brother Dog snaps, “Enough! You’ll better send us back or else”. Edge, “Or else what?” In the next panel Brother Dog has enough, “That’s it!” He chases after Edge who runs away having fun. The other two chase after him as well, dust clouds behind their feet as they run. Same rules as last time.”
I had already created one page in this issue but it’s giving me issues with this second page and I have a great idea of switching the art style I’ve been using for this one off time, but it won’t make it.
