Unfortunately, it suffers from the same safetyism than other many releases. Half of the prompts get rejected. How can you have character consistency if the model is forbidden from editing any human. And most of my photo editing involves humans, so basically this is just a useless product. I get that Google doesn't want to be responsible for deep fake advances, but that seems inevitable, so this is just slightly delaying progress. Eventually we will have to face it and allow for society to adapt.

This trend of tools that point a finger at you and set guardrails is quite frustrating. We might need a new OSS movement to regain our freedom.

I've done ~20 prompts so far and not had one be rejected so far. What sort of things are you asking it to do? I've tried things like changing clothing and accessories on people.

Basic things like: "{uploaded image of a man} can you remove the glasses?" or "make everyone in the picture smile" or "open the eyes of everyone in the photo". Nothing that a human would consider "unsafe". I am based in EU and using Google AI Studio with all safety toggles set to "Off".
