    I feel like 911 jokes should be fair game by now…

      almost. South park said it takes 22.3 years before something like that becomes funny. Still 2 or 3 months to go

        That’s way closer than I thought it was to 22.3 years

    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 😊😊😊😊

      Maybe it’s because Godzilla destroys buildings?

      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

      It has blocked Taylor Swift both times I tried including her in a prompt. I’d rather not keep trying that one.

      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.

    I noticed it’s not creating hyper realistic images as it used to as well. Maybe to counter misinformation I’m guessing.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But as AI image generators have gotten into hot water over copyright claims and deepfakes, developers have been more careful about allowing people to use their tools to create questionable photos.

    Caitlin Roulston, director of communications at Microsoft, said in an emailed statement to The Verge that the company plans to improve its systems “to help prevent the creation of harmful content.”

    “As with any new technology, some are trying to use it in ways that were not intended,  which is why we are implementing a range of guardrails and filters to make Bing Image  Creator a positive and helpful experience for users,” Roulston said.

    Some Verge writers were initially able to generate pictures similar to those 404 described, including famous Italian plumber Mario flying a plane with a view of the Twin Towers outside the cockpit.

    Microsoft did not expand on what these guardrails or filters could look like and did not comment on whether it recently blocked content related to the Twin Towers.

    Blocking some content might be coming a bit late, as 404 Media reported posters on sites like 4chan have been guiding people on how to manipulate free tools like Bing Chat and Stable Diffusion to make and distribute racist images.
