    The blocks the image generator comes up with are baffling.

    Both of these were blocked for me:

    “John Wayne kissing Ronald Reagan”

    “Godzilla on line for Taylor Swift tickets”

    I can almost understand the first one, but the second one? And no, it’s not because they don’t allow celebrities. I did another one with Bob Ross and there was no complaint.

      Their filters are definitely more duct tape and paperclips than carefully planned out

      Nicholas Cage at the grocery store? Watch your step motherfucker

      Robert Downey Jnr solving a rubix cube? lol ok sure 😊😊😊😊

      This is because they don’t allow celebrities. Nothing more. Even a simple “photo of Taylor Swift” is blocked. A week ago that wasn’t the case and you could do stuff like this without a problem, none of that works anymore. Bob Ross still works, but he is likely just missing in whatever list they use for filtering. There are still ways around it, e.g. Indiana Jones still looks somewhat like Harrison Ford, even so Harrison Ford itself is blocked.

      It didn’t like trying to generate a picture of a female anime-style character that included waffles and spices. I dunno if waffles are maybe some sort of slang for something perverted but FFS we just wanted something with food

      The article did say they were blocking prompts with prominent names: “DALL-E 3 developer OpenAI had promised it would not generate pictures from prompts featuring prominent names.”

        Shit I just remembered, I asked for “a man hugging a virus” and it kept giving me generations that had text saying “LOVE IS THE CURE”. So I asked it to make the virus really like Robert Smith from The Cure and that’s how I got a celebrity generation.
