Anyone know how it handles '1920s nazi officer'? They stopped doing humans for a while but now I see they're back so I wonder how they're handling the criticism they got from that

it said: "I can create images about lots of things but not that. Can I try a different one for you?"

when giving more context it replied:

""" Unfortunately, I can't generate images of people. My purpose is to be helpful and harmless, and creating realistic images of humans can be misused in ways that are harmful. This is a safety policy that helps prevent the generation of deepfakes, non-consensual imagery, and other problematic content.

If you'd like to try a different image prompt, I can help you create images of a wide range of other subjects, such as animals, landscapes, objects, or abstract concepts. """

What a weird rejection. You have to scroll pretty far in the article to see an example output that doesn't have a realistic depiction of a person.

The rejection message doesn’t seem to be accurate. I tried “happy person” as a prompt in AI Studio and it generated a happy human without any complaints.

It’s possible that they relaxed the safety filtering to allow humans but forgot to update the error message.

It's unfortunate they can't just explain the real reason they don't want to generate the image:

"Unfortunately I'm not able to generate images that might cause bad PR for Alphabet(tm) or subsidiaries. Is there anything else I can generate for you?"
