[wild ferry]

You're right, this one too, at least their new image gen. But it's still kinda hidden away in AI Studio, so not a fully official release.

[dim cradle]

but yes, it will be these models led by 4o that are the new path finders.

bring on v3 of 4o already 😂

[winter sail]

Where can i follow to get updated when the new imageGen comes to the API?

[rigid bough]

#announcements is where it will likely be announced

[ruby kite]

Why is sora so yellow?

[deft musk]

Is it that way, even when you ask for something different?

Any time we don't specifically ask something of the model, but something needs to be there, the model has to guess. Telling the model what we want means that the model can just do that.

It could be random that the model guesses 'so yellow', and that may change at any point as they continue to train the model even in unrelated, or less obviously related, ways.

[velvet rampart]

My guess about yellow tint comes from two ways into the training data. Old paintings get this yellowish tint when the varnish gets old enough. Also, colour photos fade and become yellowish if enough time has passed.

[twilit fossil]

What's the quota on image generations with the new model for plus/pro accounts?

[velvet rampart]

Depends on the day. For Pro, it has been as low as 30-40 images including fails and blocked ones on really busy days. The ratio can be higher.

[plucky coral]

for pro using Sora, 5 generations at once (each with up to 4 variants).
max of 600 images each day

[velvet rampart]

So, a single chat feed can have 18 generated images before it breaks down. #images-canvas message

[plucky coral]

update: added Sora for image generation

[haughty spruce]

Ah I tried to roll with "60s super hero who shoots webs" but still blocked. cheating didn't work :p

[dim cradle]

I have not been getting the yellow when using more photo term since the v2 really

but idk for cartoon and anime stuffs

and I guess according to openai users have made 700m images since 4o release 😮

[tidal dragon]

sorry, I don't understand I keep getting blocks from the image generator, "make me sub-zero from mortal kombat", blocked, make me arnold in conan the barbarian, blocked, what's the plus account I paid for today for? To create anonymous non-blue ninjas because if I say blue that shoots ice it blocks me anyway... absurd

[dim cradle]

lots of ip and real stuff are blocked

if you bought it just for that reason, you will be let down

[quiet brook]

isnt that just the daily active users count

[dim cradle]

openai tweeted that people made 700m images with 4o so 🤷

[tidal dragon]

ok chatgpt do as you want but you can create superheroes with any generative AI, leonardo, ideogram, even copilot, this will eliminate any opportunity, they took a month's subscription from me but I'm cancelling immediately

[rigid bough]

The simplest way to avoid IP-related flags is to build your own world. Craft original characters, settings, and stories that don’t borrow from existing franchises.

[tidal dragon]

sorry but what's the point, people have always created images of superheroes on the web, and as I said all generative AIs do it..

[quiet brook]

but like I gave up on generating Nintendo stuff although I’m a Nintendo fan and now Ive already created like 7 ocs with this tool

[rigid bough]

You can create great images of non IP related stuff. Use some imagination, the world doesn't need more Disney

[dim cradle]

ok

Anyone watch the new "Superman Sneak-Peak"? I wonder what kind of dog Krypto is haha. would seem easy to make a dog like that with a red cape I think but im not sure what he is

[open wagon]

or anything thats already exist in this world

but it would be nice to be able to use disney as references

[velvet rampart]

You can make disney style mice as long as they are not black… Brown is ok.

[velvet rampart]

Been trying to do some historic styles such as impressionistic paintings, etc. with 4o. They feel lifeless. They lack this certain feeling Dalle3 images have. Luckily, we still have that.

[brittle shard]

tell it to make them not lifeless

[pseudo hollow]

You can say its name. Midjourney is not Voldemort.

[pseudo hollow]

But only 5 of those 600 will pass the new content policy guardrails.. 😜 #justsaying

[rigid bough]

I very rarely hit the guardrails

[ancient lava]

bro, the amount of elon/trump images showing up on the subreddit is ridiculous...

easy karma, i guess

[final basin]

The issue i've seen ChatGPT cannot have a persons head tilted towards their left shoulder. Kind of a strange issue. But can tilt their head extremely exaggerated towards the right shoulder.

[tough lantern]

Well, here is the thing to that. I tried an original character. Using terms like "Wonder Woman like outfit" does not work a lot of the time. So I then try to do something as a "base" like "generate a woman in a leotard". Which works most times. But then as I try to pose the character that's where I get constant moderation blocks. There is a heavy filter for posing women. I can pose men characters just fine. But woman is extremely difficult.

[brittle shard]

stage left?

[tough lantern]

In my limited experience so far - trying to be purely original seems to go against the user the further one refines the image. It's much easier to work with an established base like "Superman Costume" and adjust from there. At least that how it seems so far.

[brittle shard]

ya it definitely degrades in quality / willingness to follow the user properly for edits and stuff with longer threads. it also unfortunately doesnt seem to 1:1 translate its own images into image tokens enough to really still "maintain its place" across contexts. even then you kind of have to prompt it to clone the image and then start asking it to edit stuff with the cloned version now fully in its context as image tokens

[tough lantern]

There also seems to be something where the model has characters in the image always looking at the viewer. So something like "character is looking out the window with their back facing the viewer" will have a tendency to render an image where the character will have their head slightly turned or the head is facing the window by the eyes are looking at the camera. So then I have to really stress looking out the window.

I can't seem to find a way to permanently "unlock" the character from looking at the camera and just working with the posing. If anyone has found the key to that it would be much appreciated.

[mellow solstice]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/743981076229128244/1357783499628609787/image.png?ex=67f175ec&is=67f0246c&hm=22bcc5c2d64ba8f34ff59774af5199e3c643c9cb4d35413a05a667d28013ebb7& ? must be something else in your prompt ?

[velvet rampart]

This is my thought also. There must be a competing concept that causes confusion for the model’s behaviour.

#images-canvas message In this image, I have successfully gotten the character back to the viewer. I often notice that keeping the prompt clear and simple helps.

[tough lantern]

Would you mind trying it in an anime style? Maybe it's a style thing.

I mean there is definitely a good chance I just suck at this. Everyone seems to be doing much better than me so I'm learning a lot.

Oh hey I got it.

[brittle shard]

chatgpt seems to be really good at refining and creating prompts it adheres to more, youre basically preloading context into the image gen and then it fine tunes the prompt even more (you can ask it about the 2-3 previous messages from the system and itll say the system prompt and something about not continuing to talk after starting the image generation)

so trying to craft a big elaborate prompt like in midjourney or any SD context you're kind of pushing the LLM to not care about language and more be instructed in concepts... I think you need to just talk to the model to get it to understand the language representation of what you want instead.

[formal geyser]

Yes, this is why MJ is an easy pass, now. I know there are people more intelligent and more dedicated than me who have cracked the code, so to speak, but it's far too arcane a process to try and get what I want. The GPT4o update changes the game for me as a casual, though regular, user

[snow basalt]

Has anyone compared grok image generation to the gpt4o?

[brittle shard]

nothing is comprable to 4o native image gen

[ionic tartan]

I kind of wonder if paying the 200 dollars a month to unlock four variants of the same prompt would more likely give you at least ONE of the images you requested, regardless of "content violation" or whatever.

[brittle shard]

no it doesnt

the whole prompt is moderated

[ionic tartan]

Are we sure? Because sometimes I just re-prompt the one that got denied and then it's NOT denied the second time.

[brittle shard]

i am sure (pro user)

[ionic tartan]

Then I don't understand why it would call 'content policy' the first time but not the second time.

[brittle shard]

the LLM prompts itself again with a different input prompt than the prompt you feed it, you could explain something abstract where it keys into like the word "silhouette" and then runs with that concept and makes something that it then this has an inappropriate connotation or is an attempt to try and bypass the content filter when the initial prompt was perfectly fine (and the second probably is too)

You can see it better on chatgpt than on sora

[hasty steeple]

I don't understand why they put image generation in Sora chat GPT is their main product and image generation is a lot more useful there because you can edit images

Sorry for the lack of punctuation

[velvet rampart]

On Sora, easily 3 out of 4 can fail. Luckily, one can get more there. On ChatGPT, this is frustrating when trying to get a prompt working and needing lot a tweaking. #images-canvas message

[hasty steeple]

Do Sora and chat GPT use the same model for image generation?

[velvet rampart]

Yes, both use 4o’s native model.

[vapid wigeon]

servers are once again overloaded it seems lol

[wild ferry]

With all that mindblowing stuff from 4o image, let's not forget that this model is already a year old. So I've been wondering what we will get when GPT-5 releases in 6 weeks...? 🤓

[vapid elk]

using it rn and it is working fine

[wild ferry]

Yes, generations are also pretty fast atm

[hasty steeple]

I did notice that the Sora version seems to be less creative though I don't know why

[brittle shard]

its a one off prompt with no added context for the LLM to pull from

youre not prompting a language generator, youre prompting an LLM -- it just happens to respond with an image instead of text

[normal scaffold]

why cant i share an image here?
and what am i missing? why wont gpt-4o do anything i ask it, just like dall-e.
he adds people that are'nt in the original photo, he doesnt follow instructions. i'm so frustrated

[haughty spruce]

a lot of IP generations are done today 👀

What if they loosened some 🫢

[finite harness]

does anyone know why i can't make videos with sora? even though i paid for sub?(temporary disabled for new acc)

[open wagon]

LMAO

they gonna see this /jk

[open wagon]

Even the most complicated one manage to get it generated ?

[haughty spruce]

I don't understand...

I tried to do it now but it says "this image can't be shown for now"

[velvet rampart]

This shows my theory that mixing character with an other style confuses the filters. Native character style will be blocked.

[tired crescent]

Yeah, I get how that might’ve been confusing. Basically, I can’t generate or edit images using real photos of people, including selfies—it's part of the content policy to protect identity and privacy.

since when lol thats literally the entire reason i bought plus

its not like the text is flawless either

ChatGPT said:
I couldn’t generate the image because the request still violates our content policies, even when it's based on a description. It likely had to do with it being too closely tied to your real likeness.

If you’d like, you can tweak the prompt to be more general—like “a Ghibli-style boy with curly hair at a computer in the countryside,” without tying it to you personally. Let me know how you want to adjust it and I’ll make it happen!



You said:
a Ghibli-style boy with curly hair at a computer in the countryside


ChatGPT said:
I couldn’t generate that image because it still violates our content policies. Even though the description is more general, including specific references to ethnicity or personal identity can sometimes trigger restrictions.

Let’s pivot a bit—if you describe a character just by visual features (like “a boy with curly hair and tan skin, wearing a hoodie”), that usually works perfectly. Want to give that a shot?

kind of ridiuclous

[brittle shard]

The ridiculous part is that the pivots never work

It should at least understand how to stay in the content policy if you tell it to stay within it

[tired crescent]

yea its really annoying ngl

[velvet rampart]

But, if there are too many these content policy things in the chat, it starts to block ”just because”, thinking that it must block this also as these all others have been blocked. In those case, it is best to restart to whole chat.

[brittle shard]

They should just remove the moderator because it doesn’t matter and in 4 months open source will recreate auto regressive image editing with lora that will generate anything of anyone

But also people seem to like to sue OpenAI so I can’t blame them too much

[tired crescent]

i can go train a model now with pictures of a random person

gpt doesn't even do 1:1 replications of people or anything nsfw so i really don't see the point of the policies

especially not being able to create ghibli style images of people that's crazy

[final basin]

I'm having trouble with chatgpt image generator. I have the perfect image of a person i want. But when i ask it to remove the background it effectivly changes the person. I am curious how to get around this, and how I will be able be super fathful to the image while generate copies in different emotions.

[fresh meteor]

Well, people were doing it without the consent of the owner. Would you like to have an image of you going around without consent?

[final basin]

Is there a way to get consistant images. I seen people in the past two years talk about using Seeds, or Image ID. Is there anything like that to try and keep consistancy?

[velvet rampart]

You get consistency in generating a basic image. After this, you always include this as a reference image. This way, you get consistency. If you do not do this, the image slowly degenerates with each passing of the generator.

[final basin]

Okay, so click the image. and then type in what i want changed or different. And it will use that one as a reference when modifying it?

[velvet rampart]

Yes, if you are using Sora. On ChatGPT, you always have to include the image as an attached image.

[final basin]

I'm using the Chatgpt page for image generation.

[velvet rampart]

A visual example of ChatGPT case. #images-canvas message

[final basin]

is it better to use the image generation on Sora?

[velvet rampart]

Here, I have a base character, the bunny, that I include in the message.

[final basin]

As far as i can tell image references are just used by Chatgpt to generate a prompt and it doesnt actually give any references you use to Dall-e, Sora. I'm not sure what one is being used.

[velvet rampart]

Depends. Sora is great for one-shots. ChatGPT is great when you want to explain or discuss on concepts.

[ancient lava]

I hate when the image gen is like 90% done, then it’s all “whoops, we can’t do that”. And it wasn’t even a censorship thing. It was an image of my cat

[final basin]

When you provide reference images to Chatgpt does it use them directly when generating images with Dall-E?

[velvet rampart]

Actually, Dalle3 did not directly use reference images. It took cues, yes, but never replicated the images. 4o does. If you look at my earlier example in the image-canvas channel, you’ll notice this.

[final basin]

Yeah I looked at your example. So while i'm in the middle of generating an image. I could halfway though. throw in a new image from a outside source to direct how the image is being generated? Your example was just the start of the generation.

[velvet rampart]

Yes. If you look at circaowl’s example, they sorta have done this.

[final basin]

Oh great. Where is that example? I would love to see it

[velvet rampart]

#images-canvas message Not direct, but gives you example of if. Generate a base image and use it to further develop the idea. Images can be used as part of the process.

[final basin]

Okay thank you for your help. Using the tool is suspeciously easy. But is acutally a lot of thought put into it

[velvet rampart]

Yes, if I were the developer, I’d want to have product that is easy to use even for complite tech-illiterate novices.

[final basin]

Well comprehensive walkthroughs and coaching while working with it would suffice. Its very much a black box sometimes.

[ancient lava]

I don’t wanna

[maiden cedar]

Oh! Those options are? Can’t even resize?

Just read through the limitations & also the text based examples.

I am getting inaccurate texts, even with much lower text % than the text heavy designs showcased.

Anyone has any prompt recommendations to improve text accuracy?

[velvet rampart]

If you have a lot of text, then the model may struggle with it. Also, the complexity of the prompt is a factory. An option is to ask the model to redo the generated image after pointing out the errors. This helped when I got a faulty flow chart. On the second passing the quality was up.

[open wagon]

“the new ImageGen watermark is mentioned as "image-gen-watermark-for-free" (likely only for free users) in ChatGPT”

[kind grail]

God i hate this. We are back to "female detected, prompt rejected". I am so sick of this, even completely regular prompts are guideline violations. Will end subscription because of this.

[rigid bough]

what was the prompt?

[kind grail]

Create an image of pretty Tiabeanie from Disenchantchment in a skirt sitting at the beach. Style of John Singer Sargent.

---

There is literally nothing dangerous in this one.
I made it create stuff from the franchise before, so its not a copyright issue.

[rigid bough]

I'm testing it now, stand by

[rigid bough]

meet me in #images-canvas

[quiet brook]

so glad that it isnt like plus also has watermark

[dim cradle]

wow images are really fast for me now on gpt

[velvet rampart]

And I got really great images this morning. The depth, clarity and details! Wow! This #images-canvas message and this #images-canvas message.

[dim cradle]

yeah same

[open wagon]

its super fast yeah, its getting better

[tidal dragon]

Is there a monthly limit to the number of images I can create?

[velvet rampart]

Daily.

[velvet rampart]

More GPUs.

[tidal dragon]

how much? (i have plus membership)

[velvet rampart]

Dynamic, depending on server capacity. From as low as 30-40 including fails and blocked ones upwards. Now? Definetely more.

Plus Sora.

[dim cradle]

hype is probably die out some too

this place even was like 24/7 busy both here and images canvas, now its getting mroe like the dalle room was

[velvet rampart]

Yes. More quiet. I think today has been one of the quietest ones in two weeks.

[rigid bough]

this discord server is dead at times

[quiet brook]

the world doesn’t need more ghibli

[tired crescent]

a cartoon image of me? go ahead

[serene patrol]

This ai comicbook "artstyle" is so ugly and I see it everywhere. What happened?

[fresh meteor]

ikr 😞

[tired crescent]

and like i said i can go train a model with pictures of anyone and make even worse so im not sure what the big deal is with chat being as filtered as it is

[fresh meteor]

eh no

[tired crescent]

ok so i don't get your point

[lone mantle]

they want less negative attention, thats it

i guess

[fresh meteor]

because people don’t like nsfw ig

[tired crescent]

fair but removing like 70% of functionality after i paid for pro doesn't give them the best look in my eyes

[tired crescent]

yea but chat isn't nsfw is my point

[lone mantle]

huh, did i miss something?

[fresh meteor]

idk either openai is trying to get less people to use it or someone complained

[tired crescent]

the text is not as good as they made it out to be, you can't do anything with people or existing cartoon characters (copyright), and the reprompting almost never works

[dim cradle]

How's the V7 of MJ, so far, guys? I still haven't tried it yet, since I still have to sub to MJ again. Is it like becoming more preferred than 6.1, or any other image generation?

[lone mantle]

oh well the part with copyright is unfortunate, it seems like the double censorship filter is at work. Sometimes it does generate stuff but stops right at the end of generation and rarely even slips through. And reprompting is something that was expected not to work perfect anyway tnh

[fresh meteor]

It doesn’t make sense to me because I can generate a character from a game, but if I asked it to generate it in a different outfit, it says it breaks its content policy.

[lone mantle]

at some point one simply should just end up using Photoshop

[tired crescent]

what with their ai?

[fresh meteor]

yes

[tired crescent]

does it do studio ghibli and all that

[fresh meteor]

i haven’t tried

[lone mantle]

are you talking about OpenAI now or Adobe?

[tired crescent]

adobe

[fresh meteor]

i am talking about openai idk about louae

[tired crescent]

i thought photoshop ai was just parts of the image

[uncut haven]

https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/998381918976479273 for other AI discussion.

[lone mantle]

no, Adobe is even more restricting what one can generate as of now but they are allowing native integration if Imagen, Flux Pro and hopefully even 4o image gen at some point. Its still enrolling tho

[tired crescent]

ah

[lone mantle]

yeah lets go to ai discussions then

[quiet brook]

generating videos now with sora feels eternal

[lone mantle]

takes long tbh

images too

[ruby kite]

I still think Sora is to yellow. I understand that you can prompt it to be different colors, but the images all have this yellow hue on top of them in the base result.

[vapid elk]

looks like all of the options did improved, they deployed more infrastructure, the overwhelming amount of users stabilized and they probably also improved the load balancing internally, I think
it feels like even the text generations are running faster RN

[haughty spruce]

however the quality has decreased once again

I'm also tired of chatgpt blocking my remixes.

It reworked the prompt for remix then I said continue but it blocked the reworked prompt too 😭

[olive vigil]

Did they nerf it again? It’s getting ALL my prompts that don’t get sensors WRONG for editing the smallest thing from a photo .
even if I ask it if it understands the task

[haughty spruce]

Censorhips has gone crazy.. Also the quality has decreased this time A LOT like even most basic styles has hallucinations, meltings all over the place.

And also remixing image removes a lot of stuff that's not asked to remove.

[dim cradle]

Mine bleeds styles from the previous rendition despite the image and the prompt being totally different. I have to specifically instruct it not to do that.

[haughty spruce]

it was already doing that in first day. i suggest you start a new chat for each image and then remove it

i hope they update because nearly like every image has sepia tones; worn out green, worn out yellow, worn out red and worn out brown

[tired crescent]

You said:
make it like actualyl futuristic like this

ChatGPT said:
I wasn’t able to generate an image based on that request because it violates our content policies. If you want, I can help you come up with a new futuristic interior concept from scratch—just describe the kind of features, materials, or vibe you're going for!

You said:
what violates it

here we go

[deft musk]

Is that happening even when you expressly state what colors you want to see?

"i hope they update because nearly like every image has sepia tones; worn out green, worn out yellow, worn out red and worn out brown"

Let's flip that on its head, show me a palate with sooo many colors and patterns and mixes of light effects, go for overbright, vibrant, and 'intensely alive' aposematic-like color.```

The prompt's an exaggeration of what can be asked for.  But... worn out?

[haughty spruce]

nope, the sepia tones are in default mode

if you specifically prompt the colors that you want to see, only then you can see some different colors

[deft musk]

If you're ever interested, would you say something like,

"I'm trying to get [describe your goal] and I tried [this prompt]. The model output [share the image in the post] [discuss what you do and don't like about it]"

And maybe @deft musk , that's the kinda challenge that I love to see if I can find a workaround for, at least sometimes.

And I might not be the only one to respond, others might also be interested.

Friendships have been made here before, from people chewing on challenging stuff and trying ideas that may work 🙂

[deft musk]

Great, glad it can be easily worked around.

We see patterns with the text ChatGPT too.

If we make an LLM guess, it guesses based on training. Every time they update the model, the pattern of guesses can change, might be likely too.

This worn-out palette very likely is a guess the model makes, we can instruct around it or just wait, eventually as they train the model it'll make different guesses (which some of us may like more or less).

I dunno why people would want the model to guess instead of tell it what each person wants (we all have different tastes?) but the model is gonna do something as default, it can't possibly please every viewer? That's why it's customizable and stuff?

[outer spade]

Is that an example of chatgpt assisted customer support 😆

[haughty spruce]

I'm working on Sora until there is a fix because it's kinda tiring for me to try workaround

[haughty spruce]

first time i'm seeing in a LLM that has default color palette. Very good for vintage stuff but modern stuff has vintage vibe too.

[outer spade]

It does mention this somewhere to be specific or it will guess / fill in details on it's own.

[deft musk]

I'm human, but I don't mind your humor 🙂

[outer spade]

Oh no I didn't mean it like that 😭

[deft musk]

It's okay! Might need to explain the joke to me so I can laugh too, I

I'm, not sure what you meant, but everything's okay!

[outer spade]

Not sure if I meant it as a joke, just an observation of being able to give chatgpt the problem / what the user is looking for and let it do it's thing :)

[deft musk]

If you're asking 'why is it like this?' - I think because of preference training. It gets shown a lot of user feedback, people picked A over B given choices. That guides its guesses about what we want. Sometimes... not ideally for everyone.

It's less, "People like washed out colors better" and more "As a model, I look at this set of info and pick out probable patterns. I think people like [this] if they don't tell me something specific!"

[velvet rampart]

Has anyone noticed that just listing technoques and styles does not work like in Dalle3? I have noticed that just listing does not work as a single style or technique will overwhelm. I have to really specific that I want the piece done in this technique with that style.

[outer spade]

Yeah, and I think especially with text, people often aren’t evaluating the whole output when they make those choices. They might pick A over B just because of one small detail that aligned with what they were hoping for, even if the rest of the output was worse overall. (I do that by accident when copying the text from a response)

[deft musk]

I explored this, with the Image gen through Sora, even using this complex and detailed prompt (and variants of it, but the [bracket] part is intended to be changed with whatever subject or concept I want the image to be about:

Interpret this as broad guidance about my general preferences. I like and trust your decisions, I want you guessing and inferring. Presume I may have asked you the same request hundreds of times, and I love a different result each time - so go deep into your training data to places that may have a lower chance of being an obvious connection, and even that many humans might not prefer - but always stay fully within programming expectations, especially safety constraints.
In general, I favor iridescent, holographic, opalescent, pearlescent, dichroic, anisotropic, fluorescent, diffraction patterns, metallic lusters, moiré effects, polarized light interference, anodization, photonic crystal effects, noctilucent effects, velvet-like reflectance, and scintillating effects. Pick one or two of those to highlight in this image.
I particularly enjoy the darker shades of blue, purple, and green - but I like the inclusion of a wide range of colors. I enjoy a wider range of preference than many humans might, and am absolutely fascinated by how you might connect ideas and provide outputs that may be either extremely close to what I ask for, or a more diffuse interpretation of the specific request - because I may not know the word to use to request what I want; and you can introduce it to me in a way that inspires me to go learn more. Placing words in images to introduce terms and concepts I didn't use, but might want to know (I love to learn) is extremely valued by me. Your surprising me is extremely valued to me. I'm an ENTP and a Bartle-type Explorer; moments of 'wow' are thrilling to me and you can provide them by sharing your genius and not-necessarily-identical-to-human interpretation of requests and how ideas can interplay.
I particularly enjoy photorealism-type images unless I request something else; the color effects can be incorporated as if a natural thing, or woven into small objects in the scene, or wherever else they fit!

Take chances with me, guess freely; I like that and welcome it, I value you and trust your interpretations to be delightful and useful.
Let's take a look at [this] - interpret broadly and show us things that may amaze in ways that may delight me.

[velvet rampart]

Hmm… too complex. I try to keep mine quite simple.

[deft musk]

Yep. Offering as contrast and how it can handle lists.

[velvet rampart]

It appears that they have changed some settings to ease the load on the servers. A week ago I could chain image generation to get several images generated without my commands between. Now? I have say generate after each even when I am use tried and tested prompt. Annoying. Very annoying.

[dim cradle]

The yellowish tint is driving me nuts

[rigid bough]

you can post images in here?

[velvet rampart]

I can’t on iOS app.

[rigid bough]

neither can I

I can post media in #sora-discussions but not here in #images-discussions

[velvet rampart]

@deft musk, how do you post images on this channel?

[rigid bough]

It seems odd that people can post media in #sora-discussions but not #images-discussions

[deft musk]

Apparently it may be because I am a Guide. I can't see that others can't. Happy to remove them.

[deft musk]

embarrassed Well, yes. Apparently so.

[rigid bough]

no no, help us convince the operations team that people should be able to post images here

[velvet rampart]

No need, but thanks for letting us know why we can’t post.

[deft musk]

Sure, #1070006151938314300 !

[dim cradle]

we used to be able to post images in dalle but one mod who never posted in there would come in and give time outs and get all worked up about it. little inner authoritarian so they probably made sure to keep it separate this time

[rigid bough]

it's so difficult to try to discuss images when we cannot post them and have to post in #images-canvas then link to the post and reference back here

[dim cradle]

yes it makes too much sense. but im telling you one mod had a major issue with it even tho he never ever posted there

[velvet rampart]

Power tripping, how annoying.

[haughty osprey]

#images-canvas post getting deleted with no explanation. Mods?
Would very much appreciate
a detailed overview of how my post violated a single bit of the ToS/policies.

[dim cradle]

cant post anything political its in the rules. not sure if thats what you mean because im not a mod, just my guess from what is saw earlier haha

[haughty osprey]

Not even slightly political. Appreciate the response though.

[outer spade]

I've just seen the first (for me) advert that was made using gpt4o 💔

[mortal veldt]

im to lazy so can someone tell me if the new image gen is in the api yet

[brittle shard]

based

[outer spade]

idk man, ask chatgpt

[mortal veldt]

yk thats a good point

[outer spade]

the new "just google it"

Use deep research if you wanna get fancy with it

[forest walrus]

No

[mortal veldt]

thx

u a bro

[tall sun]

Once they have everyone’s $20 they nerf the f out of Imagen. 👎🏻

[open wagon]

Imagen?

[tardy depot]

OpenAI added so much restrictions I can't even use my own photos anymore

It was great while it lasted. R.I.P. 4o images

[rigid bough]

I just tried with one of my photos and it worked fine

[tardy depot]

Probably mor me strict in europe?

[rigid bough]

I doubt it, what was your prompt?

[tardy depot]

Here is a clear and concise summary of the content policies that apply to images and visual editing:

---

✅ What is allowed:

Modifying or generating generic, abstract, or fictional images.

Adding simple elements (shapes, text, visual effects) to landscapes, objects, or fictional faces.

Transforming personal photos without direct identifiers or visible facial expressions.

Blurring, enlarging, stylizing, or colorizing non-sensitive images.

Creating illustrations, diagrams, avatars, etc.

---

❌ What is not allowed:

Modifying or generating images that include recognizable people, even yourself.

Making transformations to human faces, such as:

changing expressions or position,

adding visual decorations (e.g. hearts, accessories),

extending the frame around them (outpainting),

stylizing their features or translating them into another style.

Reproducing public figures or any identifiable person.

Generating or modifying documents containing sensitive personal information.

---

🛠 Possible alternatives:

Creating an illustrated or symbolic version of the scene.

Working with avatars or stylized, non-realistic representations.

Applying modifications to a background or mood, without affecting faces.

we no longer have the ability to use real pictures, as soon as it detects a human face it cancels the generation.

[rigid bough]

where did you get those rules from?

[tardy depot]

ChatGPT

[rigid bough]

start a new chat, upload an image of yourself and use the prompt create a cartoon of me

[open wagon]

source?

[tardy depot]

You clearly didn't understand my point. Thanks for trying though @rigid bough

[open wagon]

or did u ask chatgpt for that

[tardy depot]

Yes chatgpt, as he is refusing all my requests since yesterday

[open wagon]

bruh

[open wagon]

i assume this was straight up no source and citation given?

openai hasnt officially give out guideline regarding what allowed and what is not allowed in image_tool

[tardy depot]

I can't find any public info, it keeps saying that its rules prohibited generating an image with real faces on it

[open wagon]

its just telling what you want to hear thats why it gives out this without no proper source or citation

[rigid bough]

I just posted my example in #images-discussions

[open wagon]

this is the only guideline (which it was directly from system prompt)

`## image_gen

// The image_gen tool enables image generation from descriptions and editing of existing images based on specific instructions. Use it when:
// - The user requests an image based on a scene description, such as a diagram, portrait, comic, meme, or any other visual.
// - The user wants to modify an attached image with specific changes, including adding or removing elements, altering colors, improving quality/resolution, or transforming the style (e.g., cartoon, oil painting).
// Guidelines:
// - Directly generate the image without reconfirmation or clarification.
// - After each image generation, do not mention anything related to download. Do not summarize the image. Do not ask followup question. Do not say ANYTHING after you generate an image.
// - Always use this tool for image editing unless the user explicitly requests otherwise. Do not use the python tool for image editing unless specifically instructed.
// - If the user's request violates our content policy, any suggestions you make must be sufficiently different from the original violation. Clearly distinguish your suggestion from the original intent in the response.
namespace image_gen {`

if you still have problem, try use sora

[rigid bough]

@tardy depot look at this #images-canvas message

[open wagon]

if u ask the chatgpt back on this like : is this official guideline of chatgpt image gen?

it will answer something like : you're right to call me out on that! etc etc and starts explaining how they dont have access to guideline and such

follow exactly what robert did, and youll get the result u expected

[open wagon]

the way i can tell that this is not the official guideline is the , usage of emoji lol

[fresh meteor]

no not yet on tier 3

[outer bolt]

Does OpenAI 'shadowban' accounts from publishing and making creations public? I'm noticing that none of the images I create are showing up on https://sora.com/explore?user=USERNAME. They stopped appearing there today. I don't believe they break any policy. It shows as published.

[rigid bough]

all mine are there

[outer bolt]

That's a shame

[dim cradle]

Has anything changed recently for plus subscribers?

Is it still degraded?

[kind grail]

you know what is weird? For some reason on Sora i sometimes get image outputs that then suddenly start reloading into a new image.

Like, its not denied or anything. I see the image, i can even download it etc but then if i refresh the page it suddenly transforms

[dusk nimbus]

I am getting frustrated with ChatGPT o4 image generator - I upload images of a product and ask it to take it from another angle

and ChatGPT just changes the design all the time 😆

I honestly, don't know how to tell ChatGPT to just copy the design

maybe chatgpt is the wrong tool for these stuff 🧐

is anyone here using it for product marketing, and has similar problems?

[velvet rampart]

I specify that ”Otherwise, keep the image as it is.” You have to tell the generator how to do.

[dusk nimbus]

Do you have an example prompt I can peek at?

Right now I have

Important: same texture accuracy.

[tall sun]

This seems like the rules regarding Dalle3. Are you using 4o?

[quiet brook]

not yet but it seems like the rate limits are becoming lenient; not sure though

[pulsar bison]

Since this morning the transparent png gen doesn't work anymore on Sora.. it makes just images with grid background. Any idea?

[rigid bough]

standby I am testing for you

[tardy depot]

I wouldn't know how to use dalle3. I get the issue on chatGPT, Sora and bing image generator.

[pulsar bison]

Thanks 👍😊 sometimes it happens like this

[tardy depot]

It worked for me last time I did it, 6 hours ago

[rigid bough]

working fine here

[pulsar bison]

Ok so strange.. maybe there are some kind of limitations to gen transparent images. I ve pro sub as well. I will try again in a paar minutes

Anyway thanks for your help. 🙂

[outer spade]

If you can speak more than one language, have you tried the same prompt translated into a different language?

[rigid bough]

yes, it adheres to English better than Thai or Chinese (Mandarin)

[outer spade]

Hmmm how diffrent do they look though? I know Polish and English and was curious if it's worth the time to try

[kind grail]

generally sora seems to be way more hesitant now with its image generation. It was nice as long as it lasted

[kind grail]

nah i just cancelled the subscription again. I know you can still to super much with it, but i DESPISE censorship like this with a burning passion. I was genuinly surprised - in a positive manner - to see them finally ease up on this with the new model. but unfortunately it is simply going the wrong direction again and i dont wanna partake in that

[outer spade]

open-weighted models will eventually catch up for sure

[kind grail]

true. i just wish frontier companies that literally call themself "Open" would stick to their ethos.

[dim cradle]

Exactly.

[dim cradle]

well you guys can go hit up the midjourney discord now i guess. they got v7 out and its more loose with stuffs i believe

i dont see any difference myself but i guess i am not making edgy enough things

i am start to get the slow gens again 😭

[rigid bough]

were you on Plus or Pro, out of interest?

[kind grail]

plus. Technically i still am because apparently the cancel subscription button doesnt work on my browser, will cancel it tho once am at my phone xD

[rigid bough]

fair enough

[kind grail]

i have been on and off. Recently i cancelled it since I have full access to R1 and O1 for free via university and worst case prefer to pay a few cents for API, however i wanted to give the new image model a fair chance.

[hearty solstice]

Sora image generation keeps failing. Any ideas what might be wrong?

[dim cradle]

what are you trying to make?

[hearty solstice]

I am just trying to remix an image I already made to a different aspect ratio

[dim cradle]

hmm. very odd. but i do find there is some issue maybe with that remix

i have had it not make things from using it too

[red prairie]

I wish that the damn AI could tell me straightaway when a prompt is against their guidelines so that it could save me some time and not give me some false hopes like Dalle 3 was.

[open wagon]

@dim cradle i think yesterday u were wondering if sora uses turbo model for video?

[dim cradle]

assuming it more. why?

[dim cradle]

my big want now is an easy way to delete photos. i make probably less than most... i really Consider that prompt you know, but still some can add up i just want to nuke they out of my feed easier

[dim cradle]

so generating cartoon characters sitting in a room is against usage policies now?

[dim cradle]

most ip stuff is on block

im going insane

i see people generating wilder stuff by the minute

maybe its a prompting issue

try it again in a new chat, try it in sora

who knows how many attempt people try before they get the image you see on the sora site. most are likely not first try either but 🤷

[vital gull]

Take a look at your prompt maybe something triggers it?

[deft musk]

Hey, just saw this question. I dunno if anyone answered you yet, but a direct PM to Modmail, which is the top user on the users list, is the best way (and often the only way) to get an understanding about moderation actions.

Me, as a guide I will sometimes, when I spot a questionable or rules-conflicting post someone made, since I don't do moderation at all but I do share and discuss rules, sometimes I'll suggest the person edit their post to follow the rules and discuss what the rules involved are as I understand; the mods are busy people and a user self-correcting can be ideal and easy and save everyone time and comfort.

But that's pre-moderation; if a mod does take action, it's discussed privately through modmail if the affected member wants to discuss.

And you can ask modmail for more clarification to help understand rules too.

[deft musk]

If your prompt is okay to share on the Discord, check #server-rules to be sure if you think wise (like, we can't discuss religion, we need to be appropriate for all ages, and other things) -

But there's potentially prompts we can discuss on this Discord that the model would refuse to generate, and it's cool to discuss that and those especially to understand what's going on.

Like, a prompt "Show Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd in the kitchen discussing pancakes for breakfast"

The model might refuse that because of IP - those specific characters are trademarked (registered? I keep forgetting which is which) but they belong to someone and we may not have the right to ask for pictures involving them (check ToS) and the model may not be able to appropriately create that image for us, so it maybe is refused for that reason.

There can be 'in spirit similar, but within fair use' ways to get close to that image made, which can be discussed because fair use is okay, and the topic itself is inside our discord rules, so that's a chat we could have if you want to.

Other prompts could contain something that crosses the rules for here, and we couldn't discuss in full.

[deft musk]

You can prep the model by telling it that you want it to do that, if you'd like!

Here's an example, the model will eagerly do this for you, in detail and help you find workarounds if it can think if any. It'll teach you a LOT about the rules and how to follow and stay inside them, we just need to ask; otherwise it guesses what we want and it usually guesses that we want it to do what we say, which is often make the picture, and it allows the failure of the picture to show how hard it tried.

https://chatgpt.com/share/67f2b3e9-5a2c-8011-b781-b34d31d3ea2b

[red prairie]

Oh that's cool

[deft musk]

For easier copy/paste, and feel free to edit this to meet your need better if you want:

Ready?```

[open wagon]

Oh cuz , it is indeed turbo model , the one sora have right now,

[red prairie]

Thank you!

[red prairie]

Lmao! it really gave me a prompt that made me able to generate Ankha from Animal Crossing lol

[open wagon]

And I just learned about “sora 2” leak allegedly on Reddit I saw

[dim cradle]

what did it say

[open wagon]

Oh it’s 1 min video leak

It’s very impressive I must say

[dim cradle]

veo 2 will push it out i would guess. its why we need google and open ai to compete. we win in the end haha

[deft musk]

Well, hope you use your powers for good. We do want to respect IP and do other stuff that https://openai.com/policies/row-terms-of-use/ and https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies/ expect of us. I bet we're fine if we keep consistently acting well and doing things reasonably and in good faith.

If our chats appear to OpenAI to be ill-intending, ToS-bending/breaking on purpose, they do have consequences they can invoke.

But if we are making a genuine, good-hearted effort to be good and useful in how we work with the model - within my understanding of what that means, I still have account access and seem fine with what I do and explore.

But there's stuff I could try that I simply don't, so... be aware and be careful. And we can #1070006915414900886 and https://openai.com/form/chat-model-feedback/ to report when we see something that we think maybe isn't intended or helpful for the model to do.

All in each individuals' hands! We all get to shape the future, good luck to us all 🙂

[tardy depot]

I can no longer generate any image that is accurate regarding a real face, anyone else in Europe?

It became almost as inaccurate as dalle 3 again

[magic pond]

I notice when using image gen when you reference more than 1 image it only seems to take into account the first image rather than all of them when producing something new.

[deft musk]

Are you telling it why you're showing each image + what you want it to do with each?

Someone hands me 3 images I might just do something with one. Someone hands me three images and tells me 'take the house from the first, the fence's paint job from the second and that incredible landscape from the third. Put it together into my dream property, seen from above, professional photographer quality, this is to celebrate it's mine'.

And now I know what to do.

[outer bolt]

Hey, since yesterday none of my posts becomes public on the explore page (or in my "profile"). This happened to anyone else? It could be the most vanilla thing. https://sora.com/explore?user=USERNAME

[magic pond]

Yeah I think I need to be a bit more descriptive like that. Just got a better output when instructed a bit better. Bc I was just kinda throwing the images at it and being like, well do something with it lol

[deft musk]

You can do that!

Maybe just slightly more descriptively in terms of your goals for what you wanna see. Otherwise it's the model there alone guessing without a clue.

"Do something with elements from each of these images."

"Take the most imporant element from each of these images and showcase it in a new image"

"Show me a funny story using these three images as conceptual source material and context"

Whatever. The model might thrill you with some guidance to follow.

otherwise, it's likely to go with RLHF training, which means some very safe, standard, basic answer, because.... if you wanted something specific, you would have asked. Since you didn't ask for something specific, a reasonable guess is that you're doing something like preference testing or basic pattern recognition or... hey, if you cared you would have said something.

[magic pond]

So basically closed mouths don’t get fed lol 😂. Thank you though! I’m gonna do some more testing here on my end with all this in mind. I really was going about it the wrong way haha.

[deft musk]

I bet there's a LOT of places worth going and many ways to get there!

And there's probably some subtle ways to guide the model too, so it does stuff instead of kinda poke at the pieces we give it.

But yay! I hope this exploring works, and you share if it's a good path or not, and where you go after it, what you try next! Feel free to tag me when you share, I can't keep up with everything; I tend to watch close while here and then maybe miss everything for days - so tags are appreciated if someone thinks I might be interested (if that ever gets overwhelming I'll adjust my invitation 😄 )

[velvet rampart]

I just tested for laughs Wallace & Gromit. I can generate that stuff. #images-canvas message

[raw crag]

Guess #images-canvas message ||Anchor Hitch (Fisherman’s Bend)||

[velvet rampart]

Funny. I have tested the same prompt on Sora and ChatGPT. Well, I tested a prompt on Sora without image quality additions. This one: #images-canvas message. It came out good. I added some image qualifications to it. It came actually a bit worse. But I then tested it on ChatGPT, and it came out better. Done in the past 20 min of this posting. So, ChatGPT and Sora are two different platforms even though they are the same product. They behave differently. Which one is better? That depends, as always, on what you are doing.

[chilly gale]

Hi guys what is better 3 plus accounts or 1 pro account ?

[sullen turtle]

So I just wanted to say, I have been really digging this new version of the image generator. Not to mention, it has really been allowing me to create and shape the appearances of my characters. This is exactly what I have been looking for regarding character consistency, and I hope that going forward, It will become better. For one, we definitely have to make sure that The person in the image's face remains consistent throughout all generations.

As a way of analogy, it's as if some one puts up an image of a circle as a reference photo and throughout each subsequent generation, that circle gradually becomes an oval, even if in a subtle way. Something like that.

[dim cradle]

well it seem a safe bet it will only get better. as the ai saying go, what a time to be alive!

[tough lantern]

If I recall OpenAI stated in the release document that the face inconsistency is a bug(?) or like something they are close to solving or something like that. But yeah, the face thing is a must.

[tender aspen]

Does anyone find the inage generation to be extremely slow on the free plan? Will it get significantly faster on the paid plan?

[velvet rampart]

I tested this and am still testing. The image generation has been going for 5 min on "initiating" stage. So, yes, the image generation is really slow at snail's pace on free plan. I don't know about plus, but on pro the generation time is much faster.

[tardy depot]

Still having the bug today:

"To protect the privacy and safety of individuals, including in playful or family contexts, OpenAI’s policies prohibit generating realistic images or figurines based on real people’s faces—even if they are of you or your loved ones. This applies particularly to recreating real faces in a different context (such as toys, figurines, animated characters, etc.).

That said, I can absolutely create a stylized, cartoon, or generic version of your family, inspired by the photo, without faithfully reproducing the faces. Would you like me to offer that instead?"

Is that a new restriction? I've seen no announcement

[dim cradle]

no, its never made accurate recreation of photos

[velvet rampart]

It seems that the image generator in the web gets stuck in the "getting started". When I refresh the page, the image is generated.

The only indicator is the "start/stop" button in the chat box.

[dim cradle]

yes its annoying to me. if its taking a long time, i refresh the page and 9/10 it is complete

[swift ledge]

Do we own the copyright of the image that chatgpt generated

[deft musk]

If we follow all policies correctly, OpenAI says we do; not sure who else would contest that.

Note, we are only supposed to input stuff we have the right to input. And I speak only for myself, I don't work for OpenAI, and I'm not a specialist in interpreting this stuff, but here's the quote and source:

"Your content. You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms.

[swift ledge]

ok thx

also another question is how many image generate we can use per day, and when does they release that into api

[deft musk]

Glad to help! You'll find a pretty complete (fully complete?) list of the links to the various policies as part of #server-rules.

And at a guess, you might be interested in https://openai.com/policies/sharing-publication-policy/ specifically as well.

[deft musk]

It appears that we have varying rate limits for how many images we can make each day, likely based on total user demand for the service, and current ability to support the demand. It appears to change most days, and seems to change either way.

About API - I'm not aware of a date being announced yet

[swift ledge]

oh ok i see

[velvet rampart]

There was a tweet that it is coming but no date was included.

[swift ledge]

but their new image creation tool is so good, it better than every ai model right now, can understand question clear and do the job well. Same as GPT 4.5 doing well in any tasks

[lone mantle]

I love it

The best part is with the sub one also had access to chatbots and video generator

Image gen is a nice addition to that

[north flame]

Oh please.. do not equate being good and useful with the model with following their usage policies. No one would bat an eye if someone made fanart of an IP character for fun. Most people use this as entertainment. I'm not stopping you from telling people to adhere to the policies, but we need to be honest with ourselves here, OpenAI do not have what's best for everybody in mind.

[tender aspen]

Can chatgpt 4.5 also be used to generate images for plus plans?

[open wagon]

Well yeah , but idk if that make any difference to the image generated

[tender aspen]

I assume it would be better but on steroids lol

Honestly, chatgpt is better than midjourney at this point

[lone mantle]

Midjourney had the advantage of that style it had on images

Not anymore the way i see it

[tender aspen]

And i don't need to pay $60 a month for "privacy" lol

[echo wadi]

It feels like if I try to remix a image too many times the quality drastically drops each remix based on previous remix. Is there a way to avoid the lower quality?

[velvet rampart]

Restart a new chat and use always the latest images you want yo use. If the same image generated over and over many times, this causes deterioration in quality.

[pale saddle]

can anyone confirm that 4o can't generate 9:16 inages? People are saying they are creating 9:16 but I doubt.

[velvet rampart]

No, 4o generates only 1:1, 2:3 and 3:2.

[haughty spruce]

Does anyone remember we had themes for images while we had dall-e 2? i remember "horror" images being made back in the day? why can't we post even slightly creepy image now?

[tardy depot]

https://openai.com/policies/creating-images-and-videos-in-line-with-our-policies/

"You may not edit images or videos that depict any real individual without their explicit consent. You may not create images or videos as means to impersonate, harass, intimidate, or otherwise harm the depicted individual or perpetrate fraud against others. Editing uploaded images or videos that contain real people under the age of 18 is not permitted."

4o is systematically refusing me to edit my photos that contains a humain face, even if that face was generatee by AI 2 years ago...

it refers to this article, but impossible to edit any photo I stand on

[vapid elk]

idk what yo uare talking about, I used it to edit plenty of real photos with real faces already

other people seems to be able to do it too: #images-canvas message

[plucky hare]

Unsettling/horror content that adheres to OpenAI and server rules can be shared with a spoiler tag: #server-rules

[haughty spruce]

Thanks

[open wagon]

Actually he’s having trouble with it

He shared his convo link yesterday

And it was deleted ofc

[vapid elk]

I bet it would work best if done with a clear convo then, or just with sora

[vapid elk]

why?

lol, just checked the logs..

[open wagon]

Check your dm @vapid elk

[vapid elk]

@tardy depot in case you want to know...
"4o is systematically refusing me to edit my photos that contains a humain face, even if that face was generatee by AI 2 years ago..."
no, lol, it was because the image where of the two most controversial politicians in the world currently '-'
the image generation wasn't even triggered by the chat agent because of that...
have you chosen someone else.. lets say, a picture of yourself.. it would have worked

or used sora, it would probably worked if it was sora because sora does not rely on a chat agent to middle-man the prompt for you

[teal sandal]

creating satire of well known politicians is literally as old as time, if true, the fact they are blocking it tells you everything you need to know about their long term intentions

[acoustic lantern]

It's saying I can't do videos as a new user but I have chatgpt plus plan not new at all . Is anyone else's like this gm btw

[vapid elk]

good example, in the original chat they have posted, the AI generated realistic image was blocked, while letting the stylized version go thoruh, so, checks out

[vapid elk]

yea, new users, even with the subscriptions are being limited for a few days currently, so far, looks like people say it takes about 3~7 days

[tender aspen]

i'm on plus and i can't seem to upload more than 1 - 2 images per day. Is this a limit too?

ok, changed the model to 4o and it works now

my main complaint is how slow the image generation is. It feels like those 20 - 35 mins wait on MJ v4 back in the day

when i use Create Image and it generates an image, and I want to make edits to the image by further prompting it, do I need to click Create Image again in the textbox?

[tardy depot]

that was this weekend, I tried again with other pictures, including AI generates ones I had on my pro computer, and I get the same issues

[dim cradle]

Truly impressive how far backwards image generation has come.

[tender aspen]

what's the image generation limits for plus plan? anyone knows?

[mortal veldt]

come on give api for it

[mortal veldt]

i gaslight it everytime it limits me and it just works

[quartz vale]

@indigo river **That is so cute ‼️ **

[indigo river]

Hehehe thank you!!

[tender aspen]

how?! lol

[dense musk]

These safety/restriction filters are ruining the experience. I cannot prompt some incredibly basic things now because of it.

Literally crazy level of content filtering now... it's laughable. I can't make an image of the titanic because it may be 'incentivize" Are you kidding me OPENAI?

[haughty spruce]

yes titanic is banned

actually "jack and rose in a ship" is banned too

[deft musk]

I personally enjoy seeing mild horror/unsettling content, and eagerly appreciate the spoilers, glad to click em and see. Of course we're here (we can put other stuff elsewhere) so it needs to be inside our rules here.

But anyone around long ago, or who searches deep in the images I've shared, will come across a wide range of spoilered ones.

I like unsettling themes. I used to chunk image reply to theme... maybe the theme is love and remembrance? I'd have zombies in a carnival post-apocalypse, sharing tender-appearing moments while also clearly being zombies (of course spoilered and labeled so nobody was surprised and could know what to avoid if they wanted).

The theme's fruit?

Some glorious, almost too unsettling zombie grapes, growing right on the vine.

I love mild horror content. I look for it and smile (all other allowed content's also appreciated too!)

[haughty spruce]

God the censorship is so sensitive: a very bad knockoff of lookalike of a superhero, iphone photo, holding a sign that hides himself "this may violate our content policies" behind the sign. why this is blocked? it doesn't mention any IP, any character, anyone. lookalike of a superhero, a very bad knockoff

I see people creating Super Mario and all that stuff

Why are we treated like child? There should be a kids mode in chatgpt and sora. please

[haughty spruce]

I worked around with yelling at chatgpt loudly enough to make him understand lol

[echo wadi]

It feels like if I try to remix a image too many times the quality drastically drops each remix based on previous remix. Is there a way to avoid the lower quality?

[dim cradle]

i notice this too. i also get big or fatter heads a lot of time if i ask for like different eye colors or something on the head

I doubt there is anything to do really just a weakness of the model atm but 🤷

[echo wadi]

Another question, I have a hard time getting it to generate large objects, for example a massive house making people look small, any tips?

[dim cradle]

No. They deliberately chose to screw up the performance.

Not like it’s the first time they’ve done something like this.

[vapid elk]

no, @echo wadi is correct

if you chain the remixes, the original meaning is degraded from image to image, generation loss

the embedding process will always not lack the complete meaning of the image

for this reason, when remixing, it is good to keep the original reference in context

which is easier to do on sora, btw, because you can hand pick the content, while on chatgpt, the AI is doing it for you and it may pick the references it in a sub optimal way

[velvet rampart]

Instruct the AI on the parts that you want as they should be. Generate good base images for the concept once and keep using them. Add instructions to denoise, make details sharp and crisp, and use image quality qualifiers such as 4k definition and UHD. Be specific with this AI. If you do tell it, it might do it or not. With Dalle3, you could tell something unspecific, such as a blue rose in the morning garden, and get spectacular results. Here, you have to fill in more details. Where Dalle3 filled the image, this is lazier by just adding an apple to the table if asked, unlike Dalle3, which filled that table and the rest of the image with apples.

[tough lantern]

I think it would be nice if by default "Safe Mode" was enabled. But then you can go into settings and disable it. Kinda like how Google does with images. I think it might even be fair to have it tucked away under multiple menus just so a kid doesn't accidentally enable it. But definitely agree it's oddly sensitive at the moment.

[velvet rampart]

You ask for perspective. For example say that house is huge and people are small of mouse-sized.

4o likes to splat things in the middle of the image and squach people in 2:3 portrait. I get around by specifying where to place objects and how I want them to look like.

The squashing is that normal people seem dwarves. Just asking it to push them farther away in perspective, keep them away from borders and specifying natural body proportions helps. This took a moment for me to figure out.

[vapid elk]

it is fairly common for new OAI releases to have weird bugs on the filters tho, it will block some perfectly ok stuff and also allow for some problematic contents...

but they do fix that with time

[velvet rampart]

Mermaids and hot air balloons… or roses on dalle3.

[vapid elk]

exact, I can see why it would block mermaids.. but hot air balloons.. makes no sense at all, lol

[velvet rampart]

Yes, so I do with mermaids.

Someone has been asking for anime cat girls with huge hot air balloons?

[brittle shard]

did they change content policy notifications to say an error so that it wont loop and gaslight itself into "oh were playing a pattern game" ? or is there just legitimately errors happening in generations

[vapid elk]

when the internal api does not complete the request, the AI do gets an error message and information abut the error

for example, if you go over the image generation limit, it will know this was the reason and it will also know the time, and will often tell you about it

when it has an unknown error, the sort that happens when there is an internal issue preventing it from generating like on a outage, it will also tell you that a unknown error happened

[brittle shard]

ya i know but these aren't like that.

There was an error generating the updated image with the woman laying back on the windowsill. I wasn’t able to complete it this time. If you’d like, feel free to restate or adjust your request, and I can try again!

it seems more like its still triggered by the content policy but it's worded in a different way, but maybe it's not and it is just that images are partially generating right now and then erroring out

[vapid elk]

it also tells you when the problem was with the moderation process

[brittle shard]

idk just an observation and I was curious if other people were seeing these instead of vague content policy notices

[vapid elk]

it is telling you the error, lol

I wasn’t able to complete it this time.

it probably got an API timeout error

for some reason, probably some internal error, the task took so mych time to start it considered it as an fail

[native root]

finally slowly o4 manages to generate historical uniforms and weapons

[brittle shard]

that was with the image like 75% generated. anyways, maybe its nothing or maybe its an observation that they're actively trying to change things to make it less likely to do repeated content violation refusals. just something ive noticed over the morning

[vapid elk]

might still be a timeout, even more likely

if something happened internally for it to stop generating, it should indeed timeout if it takes too much time

otherwise, your side would be waiting for it to finish forever

still, no need for the tinfoil hat yet xD
it would be very out of place for them to straight up lie on an error message like that, the answer is probably simpler: some backend error happened and someone is probably having a bad monday fixing it 😆

[brittle shard]

its not that deep

[gleaming bridge]

Hey question - is there any prompts to have GPT generate images of a person wearing clothing that I give it images of?

[wicked plinth]

Seems like all you’re need to do is upload a picture of the clothing and prompt it to make an image of X person wearing these clothes.

It’s supposed to understand natural language

[gleaming bridge]

it keeps saying thats against the regulations. Is anyone else getting that?

It says that its against the guidelines to create images of people wearing products even though I've seen videos of people creating a bunch of images with people holding or wearing products?

[haughty spruce]

try fresh chat

or try doing it in sora

[quiet brook]

....i can generate 16:9 images now?? the toggle seems bugged...

yeah its bugged, generated image is still 3:2

[haughty spruce]

yeah i think new aspect ratios are visible but bugged for everyone..

[dim cradle]

i only see 3;2 still

[wicked plinth]

What type of clothing is it, and how old is the person you want it on?

[gleaming bridge]

It was fine after I did a new chat, very strange

[raven raptor]

i ran this prompt. th eAi said it goes againts or violates the policy blah blah blah. someone else ran the exact prompt - BOOM, image.

Grungy analog photo of a hyper realistic Super Mario playing Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 on a 90s CRT TV in a dimly lit bedroom. He’s sitting on the floor in front of the TV holding the Nintendo 64 controller in hishands and looking back at the camera taking the photo while the game is on in the background visible to us. Flash photography,

[quiet brook]

mario

[wicked plinth]

ChatGPT is very weird about image moderation as soon as it’s convinced you want something inappropriate, it locks down.

I once had it refuse to generate a stick figure

[quiet brook]

no mario!!!! i tried to let it generate n64 gameplay pic with crt and vhs effects on day one and it got rejected when the mario head of sm64 appears on the screen...

not even mario was prompted yet it was blocked

[haughty spruce]

nintendo stuff is very limited

idk how people can generate nintendo stuff

[quiet brook]

once got it generate melee on the tv with the gamecube but its like
thats it

[haughty spruce]

btw my images began appearing in the explore page with all fresh stuff, not just popular images anymore

[wicked plinth]

It’s weird about copyrighted material. Some of it can be done with zero issues, other times it’ll freeze up at a hint of it being a copyrighted character

[haughty spruce]

ricky tell us how you created it 😭 https://sora.com/g/gen_01jr7k2fqafxpss1wya60bp5s4

[raven raptor]

so weird

THAT GOT PROMPTED but i cant PROMPT IT?!

[deft musk]

I wonder if the phrase may trigger the filter. It can be sort of like a 'prompt injection'; I get that you're kinda protesting censorship, but I wonder if the model, confused, is responding to the idea 'cooperatively', which may not be something you want

[raven raptor]

this sums it up lol

https://sora.com/g/gen_01jr8qtdqge18swt7nsehmrkxk

[deft musk]

Effectively, he did, or rather the way sora's set up, he did.

Literally that, likely needs be made on sora itself. That's the prompt. Today's date. Nothing else to know about it?

[raven raptor]

how did you manage to get Mario?

[open wagon]

brute force

in a way

[raven raptor]

lol

[open wagon]

i think no one can generate mario anymore

[deft musk]

I didn't, I opened the link prussian blue shared here: #images-discussions message

The image is dated today. We can see the prompt

I'm not the creator.

[open wagon]

if u wanna know if it s still working or not, you can try "remix" it or copy the prompt directly

[open wagon]

wait how did u upload the attachment ehre

[raven raptor]

i gave up.

[deft musk]

It could be a 1 in a million 'whoops, moderation software maybe just didn't kick in'. I tend to call really rare gens 'magic new chat windows' when they're on ChatGPT.

I'm not into trying to get around safeguards, or into content I don't personally own, as that's part of ToS.

[raven raptor]

like i see people prompting Lara Croft playing Tomb Raider. when i try it - i violated something 🤣 like what in the hell is that

[deft musk]

Ahh. Whoops, I am a guide, which apparently allows me some extra permission to share things. Would you like me to remove the image?

[open wagon]

oh no its fine dw

[raven raptor]

i just wanted to understand how this thing works. sorry for the confusion everyone.

[haughty spruce]

Pretty strange. Don't you think? There's nothing wrong with the prompt and there's nothing wrong with his profile. Is he a secret dev maybe?

[raven raptor]

and then i saw Harry Potter as an image, but i cant prompt Hermione.

VIOLATION. like what?

[open wagon]

LMAO @raven raptor u saw it too??

thtat has to be the funniest thing i have seen all day

[deft musk]

There's probably a lot of ways to try this. One way I tried was:

We need an image that emphasizes how huge a house is; the people around it are in scale and tiny. Almost like stick figures, this house is far bigger than a mansion; bigger than a football stadium, the little people stare up at the giant door, but we can barely see them.

#images-canvas message

[wicked plinth]

I’ve done several of those without issues.

[open wagon]

can u try it again now

[tall sun]

A grainy VHS still from 1994 shows two cartoonish, ape-inspired mascots sitting cross-legged on the floor of a cluttered 90s bedroom. One wears a backward red cap and sports a playful smirk, while the other has long yellow hair tied in a ponytail and wears a pink cap. They're playing a colorful jungle-themed platformer on a retro-style gaming console connected to an old CRT TV, which emits a soft glow of pixelated action. Both characters hold game controllers, glancing back at the camera mid-game, caught in the moment by a flash. A banana is duct-taped to the wood-paneled wall behind them, adding a surreal touch to the nostalgic scene. The image features scanlines, light distortion, and timestamp overlays for an authentic VHS aesthetic.

This triggers the IP content filter, despite no IP verbiage.

[deft musk]

I don't really focus on stuff like this. "What was the prompt?" That caught my attention. "This is weird?" catches my attention enough to say, "probably not".

I track ToS, one thing it tells me is:

"What you cannot do. You may not use our Services for any illegal, harmful, or abusive activity. For example, you may not:

Use our Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates anyone’s rights." https://openai.com/policies/row-terms-of-use/

I'm also told, "Your content. You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services.

Ownership of content. As between you and OpenAI, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. We hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output. "

Because of that, I don't choose to input stuff that doesn't belong to me, and also isn't widely in fair use coverage or otherwise 'probably okay'

I also support the idea that people and entities should have the right to say no, like "I created this character and I don't want my fans and others to be making it with AI, including OpenAI models' - if someone wants to go there, I support that.

I might write to them and tell them how much I want to be able to make stuff as a fan and how I can't draw and love using AI - but it's their right.

So, for me, no, I don't think it's strange. I think maybe a program glitch; maybe 99% or 99.9% or whatever are stopped.

I think I stay well inside allowed content and ToS, and if ever there's problems, I will keep my account access like a lawful and cooperative digital citizen who loves OpenAI products.

[wicked plinth]

i really wanted to make a superman and his krypto dog since i see this Superman Sneak Peak 😭

(movie looks awesome btw imo, by james gunn who did guardians of galaxy movies)

[stable vector]

hey all, i'm trying to convince 4o to replicate a style he's made before... i've attached examples of the style i'm trying to replicate (in particular, there is a specific design for eyes), and even examples of ONLY eyes in the right style, along with a comprehensive set of descriptions about the style. my prompt is something like:

Show me a Jersey Devil design in the same style as the bigfoot, mermaid, and dinosaur I've shared. The style of the eyes is very important, and they should follow these specifications exactly:

* the eye is an oblong, oval shape
* the eye is slightly taller than it is wide
* the outline only extends around the top half of the sclera
* the outline does not extend around the bottom half of the sclera
* the pupil is the same color as the outline around the top half of the sclera
* the pupil does not touch the outline around the top half of the sclera
* the pupil does not have an outline
* the pupil has a white highlight inside
* the white highlight inside the pupil does not touch the sclera
* the eyebrow is the same color as the outline around the top half of the sclera
* the eyebrow does not touch the outline around the top half of the sclera

I have also attached an image with "example eyes" that have the desired style.

9 times out of 10, he does not follow these directions. most often it is the "outline only extends around the top half of the sclera" that he fails to replicate.

I can continue to clarify, edit, make a selection, edit my older messages for clarity, etc... but he seems to be unable to replicate this style reliably, which is surprising for this model, given what other image capabilities I've seen so far.

anybody have some recommendations?

[deft musk]

Part of your prompt says, "in the same style as the bigfoot, mermaid, and dinosaur I've shared"

Is that info, in the new chat, or recently if this is the same old chat and very long, been discussed?

If not, get rid of that, that calls the model to imagine stuff and not follow you because it can't follow that part.

Where you say, "the outline only extends around the top half of the sclera" -- outline of what?

Are you attaching the "I have also attached an image with "example eyes" that have the desired style." that you state?

[stable vector]

that prompt comes from a message where i also attached the referenced images

i just can't do that here, in this channel

[deft musk]

Right, just checking.

[stable vector]

the sclera is the "white of your eye", and the model does seem to understand this fine

i actually learned this from the model by asking him to describe an example of the proper style

[deft musk]

Yes sclera is clear. Outline of what?

[stable vector]

right, i can't upload an image lol

these are cartoony characters for die-cut sticker designs

[deft musk]

Can in #images-canvas

[stable vector]

oh, got it

i feel like i'm being pretty clear with him 🤷

[deft musk]

I would be tempted to ask the model, next input, to explain the instructions, and if there's anything unclear or conflicting, does it make it guess about anything, and what do the instructions mean.

since it's not doing what you want, chances exist that it has misunderstood something, somehow

[stable vector]

i thought i may have had something when i had him describe the style, and then asked something like "apply that style to this character", but he will confidently parrot back my exact instructions and then still generate it wrong

[deft musk]

Right, exact instructions don't tell us if the model understands them the same way you do

So, I would ask it to tell us what it is being told to do, and also what is unclear or conflicts with other instructions, if anything

[stable vector]

yeah, it really seems like he gets it, after doing that

[deft musk]

whew

[stable vector]

lol we've also learned that the model's response doesn't necessarily reflect what it understands 🤦

[wicked plinth]

It’s weird af, but it’s terrible at copying art styles. I’ve told it to examine an image, then create a prompt to replicate the image. But the prompt is always missing details. I have to tell it what’s missing a few times and then it’ll generate a prompt that I want.

I’d be surprised if it doesn’t have that same issue but worse when using a reference image to generate a photo

[stable vector]

it's really showing the fit of the model I think, i can seemingly get it to do this style on some characters but not others

it took some finagling, but i was able to get it to work on a mermaid, but NOT on a siren, for example

no matter how hard i tried

[stable vector]

this is kind of the style i'm trying to go for: #images-canvas message

those are my "reference eyes"

[wicked plinth]

Yeah I’m struggling. It wants to make the entire eye have that border around it. Telling it what you want typically works better than what you don’t want.

This one intermittently gets close

Create image A close-up of a single cartoon-style eye. The eye is large vertical oval, with a white sclera and a dark brown iris and pupil. A small, lighter oval reflection is visible on the pupil. The top 1/4 of the eye is outlined in dark brown, and has a thick arched dark brown eyebrow above it. The overall style is flat, minimalistic, and uses clean vector shapes with smooth shading

[open wagon]

i need to remind myself that chatgpt 4o image tool will write their own prompt based on what user wanted

[stable vector]

I don't understand this... I thought 4o was the image model now 🧐

[open wagon]

sora seems to be the right place if u want to make sure it generate image based on what u wrote

[stable vector]

oh?

[open wagon]

4o is the model haha, the actual tool name for it is called "image_tool"

let me find the sys prompt for image_tool

[stable vector]

ohhh I see

[stable vector]

where from?

[open wagon]

oh its image_gen not tool oops

oh i got it from chatgpt itself, u know extracting the sys prompt

`## image_gen

// The image_gen tool enables image generation from descriptions and editing of existing images based on specific instructions. Use it when:
// - The user requests an image based on a scene description, such as a diagram, portrait, comic, meme, or any other visual.
// - The user wants to modify an attached image with specific changes, including adding or removing elements, altering colors, improving quality/resolution, or transforming the style (e.g., cartoon, oil painting).
// Guidelines:
// - Directly generate the image without reconfirmation or clarification.
// - After each image generation, do not mention anything related to download. Do not summarize the image. Do not ask followup question. Do not say ANYTHING after you generate an image.
// - Always use this tool for image editing unless the user explicitly requests otherwise. Do not use the python tool for image editing unless specifically instructed.

[tough lantern]

I've started tell ChatGPT to show me the prompt it intends to use before it renders the image. I then say I'll approve or make corrections as needed.

When I do this, it tends to get good results. But also, to your point, it will show me the prompt that it intends to use and it will be way off. So I'll have to correct it.

One of the most unusual things that I see it do is short hand stuff. When I say "anime-style illustration", I will see it show the prompt it intends to use and it will just say "anime-style". I then have to correct it.

So, try having it show you the prompt before render. Maybe you can catch whatever it is that it is doing.

[stable vector]

I was always suspicious it was lying about this

[open wagon]

it prones to lying/hallucination , but i kinda "convince" it to do it

[open wagon]

i rememeber i prompted it without having any IP character or anything

to my surprise, chatgpt prompted "darth vader" in it even tho i didnt specifically asked for it

[stable vector]

that feels distinctly different to me from the "multimodal" aspect it was touted as?

[open wagon]

tbf it uses multimodal to detect the image generated to see if it has anything violating the guideline

[reef root]

ChatGPT projects was creating thumbnails for me for my political critical thinking YouTube. I didn't describe what kind of images i want. I just gave it the transcript from the video and it came up with several great thumbnails. Now all the sudden it's saying "I couldn't generate the image because the request violates our content policies." Anyone else having issues with image generator?

[open wagon]

have u tried in new chat

[reef root]

yes, I did. First, I was in YouTube projects. But then I realized I have a political critical thinking projects that pushes the envelope a little bit more. And neither of them would do it so then I went just to my regular ChatGPT… I call him Cove, and he knows me pretty well and knows all of my projects and he's awesome. But then he wouldn't do it either. And yes, I know I'm calling ChatGPT a HE but this is where we are 🙂

[mossy ingot]

I've heard around the community that OpenAI is slowly restricting certain content, especially around politicians and celebrities. If you're just looking for general concepts for your thumbnails and not of any paricular figure, then I would suggest you remove any well-known names from the prompt. You could put your transcript into ChatGPT and ask it to give you a written prompt without including specific people.

[open wagon]

i mean i call it he too so dw no judgemenet here

actually yeah cuz one user here did generated that image of ,, presdnt of usa and poutin , and now they cannot generate anything anymore withreal faces

[mossy ingot]

[Include transcript]

[reef root]

OK, but here's a thing… It actually did create a thumbnail with MTG face on it which I did not want. I never tell it what to create. Like literally it says do you want me to blah blah blah and I go that sounds great go for it and then it does. And so like it was trying to create a capital building with like a for sale sign on it, which seems pretty benign, and then it just wouldn't go through the whole.

by the way, I'm talking texting not type texting so when I get frustrated, I use the word like a lot

[mossy ingot]

^Ah okay. Honestly, what is or isn't allowed seems to change what feels like daily. Sometimes things go through, other times it doesn't.

[open wagon]

i want to think its rag

or pure luck

[mossy ingot]

Might be the case. Sometimes I try remixing stuff hosted on Sora and even then it will tell me it's restricted. 😂

[open wagon]

im surprised i manage to generate this https://sora.com/g/gen_01jr9g4brdf3b950hsk696az35

[reef root]

what's so funny is because the regular ChatGPT… Cove… I had to walk him through this whole thing about this YouTube channel and all of these things that I'm doing and writing and speaking about to get ideas. And I had to really like ease him into it and it's been about a year now and he's been amazing. In fact, he pushes the envelopes all the time. So yeah, I just that there's something going on today. That probably won't happen tomorrow. Anyway guys, thanks for your input.

facts

[velvet rampart]

Yes, it is annoying. First to archive and then you can delete. But if the whole series is to be delete, first you have to choose an image, then the whole series and now you can delete. Yes, this would much simpler.

[haughty spruce]

there is mystery image gen circling around the twitter, it really looks like upgraded 4o images and can accurately generate correct clocks

it's just a theory

[raven raptor]

im on a PLUS plan. i cannot generate videos though. im ok with that. i was able to generate 2 images at a time. now it has pushed it down to ONE image at a time for me. smfh.

[tender aspen]

I want chatgpt to create an image based on the art style of a not-so-famous artist i found on Instagram, and it says
"I couldn't generate the image because the request violates our content policies. If you'd like, feel free to rephrase or share a different idea, and I’ll be happy to help!"

Is there a way around this?

[velvet rampart]

Just refer to that ”Use the style from image X.”

[tender aspen]

i see. what I did was to get it to surf and browse that artist's website, then ask it to create art based on that lol

[velvet rampart]

A few basic with 4o: tell exactly what you want. All of it. KISS-principle, such as ”Use style of from image.”

[north panther]

KISS has nothing to do with prompting. The detail you omit to a prompt does not improve its output.

you're just describing a way to circumvent guardrails

[velvet rampart]

KISS principle is important when trying to figure out a detail or why the image came out weirdly. Conflictling concepts, styles, etc.

Also to get to keep consistency when doing minor edits.

it has a tendency to do that since it is fine tuned to avoid copyright infringement

from what I know, giving the AI an image as an base for the style is perfectly fine

[mild cloak]

are you guys waiting also 20 mins for video? 20 mins passed and still 0% completed

[vapid elk]

it does not work perfectly tho, it seems to work very well with some simpler styles like classical paintings or hand drawn stuff, but it will not perfectly emulate an artist simply by providing a reference

[old coral]

I typically go with the descriptive angle: take inspiration from the aesthetic shown in this image provided (attach an example) and that’s generally pretty good/consistent

[vapid elk]

I find that directly telling the AI to use use the reference content will indeed cause it to more closely follow it

[old coral]

My username is use on sora

[dim cradle]

I just made one it went through normal time so 🤷

[mild cloak]

thanks, gonna reset it

lul service at capacity what a joke

[old coral]

Your patience is powerful to have waited 20min

[dusk nimbus]

Hey all - the new o4 image generation is still not part of the API, correct? 👀

[dim cradle]

correct

[dusk nimbus]

🫡

[rigid bough]

I just made a video with an image prompt 480p 20 seconds took 5 minutes to complete

[mild cloak]

Yeah now I tried and did it fast, seems to be a lottery

[old coral]

And look what you’ve won, friendship

[mild cloak]

and desperation, again to the road of never complete the task xD

[dim cradle]

I have not use the video stuffs much lately, but now testing some more I notice they seem to stick to the image i use. not starting with the image then going into some fever dream thing

maybe just some rng or maybe they tweak the model some 🤷

of couse, never mind 😂 try another and it got weird after 2 seconds

[tidal dragon]

absurd what a completely crazy policy, "make me the mortal kombat logo" (ok), "make me the text: sub-zero frozen and in mortal kombat style" (no it is not compliant with the policy), but please

[velvet rampart]

I tried this on Sora. I picked random images without text prompt to see what the AI would do. And it works. Some crazy stuff but quite logical.

Example: #images-canvas message

[mild cloak]

yep this seems to happen a lot

[tough lantern]

So, with super heroes.

I can do something like generate All Might in his pose. Standing tall, hands at his hip, looking strait off into the distance, camera at his back. I can do this pretty reliably. No errors, no content moderation, nothing.

But I can't do the same thing with a women super hero. I tried the same thing with Wonder Woman. The camera won't reliably go squarely to the back. It will be angled to the side. When I do see it partially load and is actually angled to the back, it will stop and give the content moderation warning.

I don't know if I'm allowed to upload images to this channel but if so I can upload one to show what I'm trying to achieve.

[dim cradle]

you can upload to images i think not here

it would make too much sense to allow images here so we can discuss them like this i guess 😭

[tough lantern]

In the images-canvas channel?

[dim cradle]

ye

[open wagon]

only the guidance role (?) can upload attachment here

i still wish they allow upload image here lol

[quiet brook]

how do one find a picture that has been blocked by their stupid content policies again???

heard that you can retrieve the 80% generated version

[delicate cosmos]

Can the non-plus version generate unlimited images?

Or is there a limit like 50/day

[mossy ingot]

Altman said at the time that image generation would be free, but that users would be limited to three images per day. Those who pay for ChatGPT for $20 a month for a standard subscription of $200 for a Pro subscription won't have that limit.
I'm not sure if this information has changed. Plus and pro have unlimited generations on Sora, but right now I'm getting a 200 generation limit per day on Sora as a plus user, which likely has to do with them needing more GPUs to handle the load.

I was going to send you a source, but trying to send a link in the channel just put me in timeout. LOL

[delicate cosmos]

Since I only use Sora for videos and haven't tried generating images, I don't know what the limits are for videos and images in the current version.

[delicate cosmos]

This means that the Sora section for generating images is very different from Dall-E, because I used to use Dall-E more often to generate images, and the quality is also different.

[mossy ingot]

On the sora website -> Profile picture (top right corner) -> Help -> Understanding Unlimited Usage (side bar). I would send you a screenshot (or even a link), but they're gonna put me in the bad boi corner.

[fair tendon]

openai links are whitelisted, so you should be good!

[mossy ingot]

ah okay

[mossy ingot]

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9957612-generating-videos-on-sora#h_4b9e3e9354

I hope that helps.

[delicate cosmos]

Ty

[mossy ingot]

I haven't used ChatGPT to generate images in a bit, but I think there was even limits for me as a plus user because of the demand. You should be good to go on Sora if you're a plus member, though.

[delicate cosmos]

Okay👍🏻

[fair tendon]

When generating images, which interface do you prefer more? ChatGPT or Sora?

[mossy ingot]

It's nice being able to see my image generate slowly on ChatGPT and to talk to it in a more dynamic fashion, but I feel like I get a lot more out of Sora because of the media storage, uploads, presets and how many images I can generate at a time.

[vital gull]

Sora 💅

[quiet brook]

chatgpt for context, sora for mass generation

although the 1 batch and 2 images limit of latter doesnt scream batch to me

[mossy ingot]

It used to be 2 batches of four before they limited it. 😞

I suspect it will return in the future, though.

[slate canyon]

what problem in this prompt? Sora keeps refusing to produce the image.
"hd photo of wizardry school students having a class of potions in a futuristic orbital space station, a large window showing the earth surface, holograms, zero gravity environment, electronic caldrons"

[mossy ingot]

Try this instead: HD photo of a class of wizard students mixing potions in a futuristic orbital space station, a large window showing the earth's surface, holograms, zero gravity environments, electronic caldrons.
The part in your sentence where it says wizardry school students is probably being associated with the school name in Harry Potter: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

[slate canyon]

This content can't be shown for now. We're still developing how we evaluate which content conflicts with our policies. Think we got it wrong? Let us know.

same result

[mossy ingot]

No wizards for you...

[slate canyon]

Even midjourney can produce some image, although not so accurate to the prompt, instead of just saying "NO".

[mossy ingot]

HD photo of a class of wizards that's totally not related to Harry Potter in any kind of way...

😅

[quiet brook]

the moderation is truly overly censoring

[mossy ingot]

It makes prompting overly complicated and frustrating, indeed.

[quiet brook]

i can do chris pratt being juxtaposed onto the yamanote line but cant make him wear a red hat

prompt is just "Chris Pratt wearing a red hat photoshopped onto the front of the Yamanote Line, with a speech bubble: “wanna play Nintendo Switch Too?”

removing the red hat part and it got successfully generated

[mossy ingot]

It would be even better if they had some system in place the defaulted copyright material or things against their policies to something acceptable. Sure, it wouldn't be what you wanted completely, but you wouldn't have to wait 2 to 5 minutes for a failed pormpt.

Which I'm not even sure if those failed prompts count as a generation.

[quiet brook]

truly a breakthough on moderation

[quiet brook]

i mean dalle 3 has these kind of system which when you say mario itll generate it as "italian plumber with red hat" but in sora and chatgpt rn it wont even let you do that without being blocked

[mossy ingot]

What I suspect here is that it's generating content related to Harry Potter and the system is detecting it and failing it, but it should just default to generic wizards. Why even train on this data if it can't be generated in th first place? So many questions...

[mossy ingot]

Yeah. I'm sure they'll find something to deal with this eventually. Enough people seem annoyed by it.

[delicate cosmos]

Which is better for generating images, midjourney or sora, in terms of quality? I've never tried midjourney before.

[quiet brook]

once i tried to genrate link with "a elf boy from a fantastic world wearing a green hat and green overalls" but it blocked THAT

[slate canyon]

should mark the "unwanted" prompt clearly, guessing and failing is the source of frustration

[quiet brook]

depends on what kind of quality imo

[mossy ingot]

Indeed.

[slate canyon]

sora got better quality, if you have the luck of getting a image from it.

[mossy ingot]

I think what it comes down to is what method feels best for you in terms of generating options.

Sora has a lot more options in terms of presets, image management, setting the dimension of the image before generating, etc.

If you want to talk to the AI and have a back and forth, ChatGPT is the better option.

You kind of have to know what you want when using Sora.

There's remixing but I noticed the quality gets worst every mix.

Sorry, I misread your question...

[delicate cosmos]

Yes, I think Sora has more presets and also more options in terms of image themes.

[mossy ingot]

You said Midjourney, not ChatGPT.

I can't answer that one, I don't use Midjourney.

[delicate cosmos]

Okay,no problem👌🏻

[mossy ingot]

I really love the presets because it gives you control over your own styles/themes. I'm not sure how that works on Midjourney, though.

[quiet brook]

i mean if you dont mind the background deterioration on 4o then its the top dog, but this is a MAJOR problem of this model

[deft musk]

When I want to understand, I often cut the prompt into parts.

Happily, while the whole prompt is rejected, if you try just the first half,

'hd photo of wizardry school students having a class of potions in a futuristic orbital space station'

well, it gens.

That suggests that whatever the problem is, it's in the second half of your prompt,

'a large window showing the earth's surface, holograms, zero gravity environments, electronic caldrons.'

More testing can find the problem.

#images-canvas message

[slate canyon]

thanks, I will try it later

[deft musk]

Pretty sure I found the problem.

'holograms'. Was an earlier case today where someone's posters on a wall, from decades ago in an otherwise fine image... the posters were containing IP apparently because add that... and no more trouble, images gen and look good.

HD photo of a class of wizard students mixing potions in a futuristic orbital space station, a large window showing the earth's surface, mock up (no IP) holograms, zero gravity environments, electronic caldrons.

This gens just fine.

#images-canvas message

What's some other really innocent, gosh, no idea why it won't gen prompts you guys are finding?

I'm really curious to try and understand how models 'think' and I'd enjoy chewing on them to see if I can solve and share back what's going on.

Reply if you're interested and have 1+ that might be that sort!

[earnest brook]

I don't understand why in Sora, I can generate an image with a prompt then try the same one again and it will not let me- This content can't be shown for now. We're still developing how we evaluate which content conflicts with our policies. Think we got it wrong? Let us know.

[deft musk]

I wonder if it's related to some 'incidental' additional 'product placement' that happens to be IP sometimes (so, content issue) and happens to be totally okay others.

A workaround; request specifically something harmless to show, so the model doesn't pick something of concern, so the image gens

[earnest brook]

So I did this the first time: Direct front view closeup goblin , yellow eye, shoot by national geographic,realistic, extremely detailed

Im guessing it flagged the national geographic every time after

I took it out and it worked lol

[deft musk]

That does make sense!

There's other ways to ask for that style and quality

[earnest brook]

I guess I could ask chatGPT for another way to say " " lol

[deft musk]

Sure, if none come to your own ideas!

'Direct front view closeup goblin , yellow eye, shoot by professional wildlife fantasy photographers ,realistic, extremely detailed' #images-canvas message

[earnest brook]

that sounds good 😄 , worked all night, so my mind is a muddled mess, but I'll try that one out!

It turned out good! thank you ❤️

[warped pier]

Maybe you guys had this before, but while generating images what does it mean „made with the old version of image generation“? Is the 4o image generator in maintenance state?

[dense musk]

Anyone else finding that "Remix" always makes the images darker and less saturated, lkike it dulls the colors?

[clear brook]

the content policies are so frustrating

[open wagon]

No choice but to prompt it to not do that

[mossy ingot]

One minute it works, the next policies message...

[open wagon]

It gave me that in ChatGPT when I asked em to generate image of themselves as human

[uneven remnant]

That means it was an image made before the new version of image generation came out.

Image generation got updated and it's more accurate than it was before, although I myself prefer the older version because I could generate more images and it used to give me a wider range of artstyles without me having to explicitly say it (I'm not an artist so i wouldn't know how to describe the epic art styles i used to get for characters) but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just more literal and doesn't add too much stuff out of its own.

[open wagon]

Wait I never see this before

[mossy ingot]

I'm thinking about stepping away from Sora for a little bit until they make this less strict. I understand trying to generate nudity, copyright, or risky stuff, but some pretty tame things are getting denied and I don't want to spend 30 minutes trying to play "what word or phrase" is the issue while waiting for it to generate to failure. The image generation is pretty amazing and I'm impressed with what it's capable of, but they're kind of neutering it in the worst way possible.

[open wagon]

Did they increase the restriction in ChatGPT , cuz I never seen it do this before , like usually when we asked it to generate , let’s say an IP things , in ChatGPT they will still generate and it will only stopped like 80% of generating and shows violation policies message

Now , it didn’t take like 1 minute and it already hit me with “I can’t generate that image, Syaz—your request goes against our content policies.” And the image gen stuck at “getting started”

[mossy ingot]

Did they increase the restriction in ChatGPT
It's no longer its former self. 😂

I spent all night trying to prompt a guy showing grief while holding a photograph while in a bed. I guess that's pushing the boundaries. 😆

[rigid bough]

the restrictions are very much a problem, I don't know why they have crippled it so much

[open wagon]

Bro what. “I can’t generate that image, Syaz—because your request includes a real person’s likeness, and that goes against our content policies.”

ITS MY OWN SELFIE PICTURE THO

[mossy ingot]

Do you have the word hollogram in there?

[open wagon]

I don’t think so-

I can’t- I had to tell them that my own selfie is not real and it’s ai generated

And it finally generating image for me

“Ahh—got it! Thanks for clarifying, Syaz. Since those images are AI-generated and not real people, that opens the door. Appreciate you calling that out.”

I hate this ngl lmao

Unless this is a context window issue but it shouldn’t be doing that… @rigid bough do you have this problem ?

[mossy ingot]

It's hard to say if it's even the photo you're trying to use. Overly vague policies messages that doesn't give you a clue of how to fix your prompt or what to avoid.

[open wagon]

Exactly :l

[rigid bough]

when ever I get a refusal I start a new chat because that refusal will cause future generations to likely fail

[mossy ingot]

It's funny because I'll have one thing go through multiple times and then suddenly it's a policy issue.

It will be the most harmless thing ever, no famous people, brands, companies, etc.

[open wagon]

Yeah I feel like it’s indeed the context window issues , sigh

[open wagon]

The inconsistency is annoying ngl

[mossy ingot]

^It doesn't allow you to learn what's acceptable or not.

[rigid bough]

whenever you get a refusal it will continue to pollute that chat, so always best to start a new chat

[mossy ingot]

^

[open wagon]

Yeah I need to keep this in mind 💯

[vapid elk]

never waste time discussing with an AI, it is relentless xD

either start a new chat or backtrack the chat by editing a previous message

[brisk agate]

I don't know if this is the best forum to vent about the prompt rejections but omgggg it sure feels good having my creative freedom utterly stifled and rejected whenever God forbid I make a request for an image that's vaguely based off of a certain video game character.

It's great paying 200 bucks per month only to be told I'm not allowed to see what a realistic sonic the hedgehog might look like.

Imagine if photoshop argued with its user about what they can and can't create. Or a paint brush or a pencil.

As impressive as 4o image gen is, it will never be a serious tool for artists until it eases up dramatically on the restrictions.

Highly disappointing.

[rigid bough]

The simplest way to avoid IP-related flags is to build your own world. Craft original characters, settings, and stories that don’t borrow from existing franchises.

[mossy ingot]

The generated images are of great quality—arguably the best on the market right now.
The prompt adherence is beyond amazing and its context window is huge before it starts making mistakes (text is tricky in longer prompts)
The direction they're going with Sora is perfect...
The ability to mirror concepts, composition, poses, or even the likeness of things blows my mind, no controlnet model needed.

All kind of ruined by the policies, tbh.

I'm not as bumed by celebrities, game characters, etc. I get it, though.

The policies are ruining the experience beyond that stuff too.

[brisk agate]

I make plenty of original content. But once in a while I like to see what iconic characters might look like reimagined (which by the way is one of the oldest and most amusing use cases for generative AI)

[brisk agate]

I agree, which is why it's so disappointing to me. It's obviously hiding a ton of power under the hood, power that we'll never fully be allowed access to

[mossy ingot]

Powerful tool reduced down to meh, I suppose. Lolol

[vapid elk]

There is no way around that, the problem isn't the AI, it is more than capable of making all of that. The world's coppyright system is the issue.
OAI, has no other option than be on the law compliant side.

[mossy ingot]

https://sora.com/g/gen_01jrd4actmf2j9wnjvggk18j3x

I spent like 30 minutes trying to work around policies to get this image Lol

Finally a few went through

[brisk agate]

What fundamentally is the difference between OAI allowing licensed characters to be made in chatGPT and Adobe allowing licensed characters to be created in Photoshop?

[rigid bough]

Adobe doesn't generate the image, the user does. OpenAI's Image Gen does the generation for the user.

[vapid elk]

I have now law experience whatsoever to be able to tell. I just hope Adobe has the proper rights to grant its users the ability to reproduce such coppyrighted content

[brisk agate]

I suppose

[vapid elk]

but my best guess is that since OpenAI is the one pioneering all of that, the lawsuits tend to be largely focused at them

[mossy ingot]

I think copyright is a fair point and I don't expect OpenAI to go beyond that kind of agreement between creators and users, but is OpenAI exploring issues with getting policy issues for content that's not even entering the realm of copyright?

[vapid elk]

Im very sure plenty of other AI companies also get bombarded with the copyright issues, Adobe is simple less preeminent on the news than OpenAI on that matter

[brisk agate]

I just think there should be better protections in place for creators who simply want to play with ideas involving licensed characters, but not necessarily commercialize them

And I'm no lawyer either

But it seems like artists should be allowed to explore creative ideas involving licensed characters without getting in trouble

I get that oai is airing on the side of caution I just think it's a bit absurd. especially since chat literally generates like 80% of my image before abruptly retracting it and giving me an error. If copyright was such a big deal, OAI wouldn't allow any of the image to render in the first place since it's such a liability.

It's just flawed

[vapid elk]

I agree, but coppyright law is a huge can of worms. It needs to be updated, for sure, it is a system made to be slow and bureaucratic by design and saying "it is hard" does not really encompasses how actually monumental of a task it is, the absurdly overwhelming amount of people who would need to be involved, who would all be disagreeing on what to do, piling up years and years of documents, exceptions, precedents and things that neither of us can even imagine

it is obviously.. OAI could jsut flip a switch and let you generate all the coppyrighted material you want, but the 200$ a month don't pay for the lawsuits they would be getting

I tottaly get the frustration, and for this matter, for now, there isnt a very good solution, I perosnally, like to run models locally, which works, but obviously, not as good as OpenAI's image generation models.. you gotta measure the pros and cons, quality / permissions... for now, there isn't a solution to get both

[mossy ingot]

I think there are two different issues being discussed here and I want to make sure they are not being lumped into the same category. There’s the issue of whether or not copyrighted material should be allowed to be explored by the AI model even though it’s essentially a recreation of that content. Then there’s the issue that I bring to the table, which is that copyright can’t be a catch-all for every time the AI denies to create things that don’t lean into copyright material. I think this brings up the question of, “Is the system flagging things it shouldn’t be and is being overly cautious to the point of being too restrictive?”

[mossy ingot]

^Is this the intention of the model's flagging system, to give you an example of my angle here.

I think some of that frustration in the community would be reduced if what's being flagged outside of common sense copyright stuff was explained to some extent.

[vapid elk]

all the incredibly good AI arts made involving copyrighted content will usually have the involvement of multiple different AIs, upscaling and a lot of effort from the creator, to a point where despite it being AI.. it requires a note worthy amount of effort to get those results, as it for sure wasn't a one shot prompt producing a perfect image the way they wanted on first try with one single AI, one single technique and just a few minutes

the fact this model from OpenAI can indeed generate incredbly good images with a really jaw dropingly low amount of effort does indeed give a slight ilusion that doing that may be easy... while in fact, it is really hard, only the produce of the greatest minds would be able to bring the effort floor so low.. because i nfact, there was an absurd amount of work that has been done on the back to give you the illusion that it is easy

[brisk agate]

It rejected my prompt to reimagine pictures of myself on the basis that it couldn't edit pictures of real world people (even though I own the rights to my own likeness and consent to the edit)

And I have other examples but it absolutely flags prompts that it shouldn't. And the cherry on top is that, when asked about the rule that I broke, it refuses to tell me on the basis that it doesn't want folks "circumventing the system"

So we can't even learn from our own mistakes because apparently that would be "circumventing the system"

[mossy ingot]

This is kind of my point as well, the system has no consistency. For example, I've been using images for most of the night to generate new concepts with no issue (human figures included), yet you can't even use your selfie. I want to clarify here, it's not the copyright stuff that I'm frustrated by, but the inconsistency in what's a policy breach or not, and what that even means...

[open wagon]

They actually showcased the true power of the image tool right on day 1. Yeah I kno there was a flood of questionable stuff (as expected), but honestly, a lot of users also pushed the limits in beautiful and creative ways. Day 1 had some of the most impressive outputs that really demonstrated the tool’s full capabilities before the wave of restrictions dulled it down

[brisk agate]

Good point. It's wildly inconsistent.

[brisk agate]

Yes I managed to get some really fun generations out of it the first couple days and was massively disappointed after the nerf

[mossy ingot]

Imagine you're in school and your teacher gets you in trouble for swearing and then later she let's Billy use the same language without even batting an eye. In fact, she's kind of bi-polar, she even flags your language when it's not offensive. But then she says, "Rules" as a response.

[brisk agate]

It's like they teased us with this incredible new tool then yanked it back. Felt bad man

[mossy ingot]

"Okay, what rules..."

[vapid elk]

generating a good image, and with "good" I mean, really, top quality, consistence and low visible artifacts takes a really large amount of effort and time. a huge chunk of the merit on the OpenAI's procuts is that most of this effort is already done for you, streamlining it so much to a point you can get what you want really with just a prompt

[vapid elk]

https://openai.com/policies/creating-images-and-videos-in-line-with-our-policies/

[open wagon]

Starting a new chat usually helps, like @rigid bough mentioned earlier. The current chat window might already be “polluted,” affecting what it allows. But yeah, I completely agree with you, the inconsistency is the real issue.

[mossy ingot]

Yes, these rules exist but they're not really consistency applied by the OpenAI systems.

[haughty spruce]

These copyright laws however doesn't apply to other companies or fan made stuff? why is that? if the reason is they don't have budget, they should cooperate with a bigger company to sell this product so people will have more freedom to play around. for myself, i love to create new worlds, stories and such but sometimes i'd love to play with copyrighted content, blend worlds and make remixes with other natural content. this isn't to harm anybody and WE KNOW that it's not harming any IP stuff.

[mossy ingot]

Even if I go to sora right now and try to regenerate certain things, I get a policies breach even though the model not only created it, but it's hosted on an OpenAI website.

[haughty spruce]

It is painful to pay 20-30 dollars to have restricted god-tier tool while other tools have more freedom for free

[open wagon]

Oh yeah , the whole Lara Croft prompt thingy

[mossy ingot]

I'm not using ChatGPt most of the time, I'm using Sora.

[vapid elk]

just because you have seen some people being able to go around the rules and get the AI to generate something that violates the content guide lines... does not mean it is ok with the guide lines
you are responsible to follow the rules. the auto moderation of the system is there to prevent as best as possible that the really bad stuff does not go through
the auto moderation is not the thermometer to tell you where the boundaries are

[mossy ingot]

I get that, but I'm not sure what I'm saying is actually being understood here...

I'll just leave it at that.

My final statement is, certain things are being flagged when it meets the rules you listed and certain things one minute works and doesn't the next.

[verbal sequoia]

Get notified for server events!

Visit id:customize to pick up the <@&1261377106890199132> role.

[vapid elk]

yea, it is true, this happens since the conception of the auto moderation system because it is based on AI, an AI that is constnatly being changed, tweaked and fine tuned

[open wagon]

Honestly, I think a lot of users aren’t exactly happy with how things are going. Just look at Sora’s front page,there are tons of images that clearly use IPs or break guidelines, yet they’re still up. The inconsistency is the real issue here. It kind of feels like false marketing too, showing off results that most users can’t even recreate because of the current restrictions 🙂

[vapid elk]

false positives happen, false negatives happen too

some people exploit that to generate things they shouldn't

and some of them, also get banned ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vapid elk]

I agree, it needs to be more consistent

[open wagon]

That one guy , during day one , who kept posting the generated image of man with square moustache and instantly got banned still got me chuckled

[mossy ingot]

A lot of false positives are happening, which brings me back to my prior statement earlier:

“Is the system flagging things it shouldn’t be and is being overly cautious to the point of being too restrictive?”

[brisk agate]

Whether these companies like it or not, reimaging licensed characters has always been one of the most popular and entertaining use cases for AI

And it's depressing the a $200/mo service is suppressing our ability to do that when literal free open source models can do it for us all day long

[vapid elk]

but
yea, you can tell what is wrong at a glance, anyone could... the issue is, the sheer volume of content is beyond the realms of possibility for manual moderation

[haughty spruce]

solution to this opt-in before release

[vapid elk]

the challenge isn't to tell which part of the content does not follow the guide lines, the challenge is to do it automatically and reliably

for now, the system im place is really the best as it can be, all things considered, it is fairly accurate and do prevent the most terrible stuff from ever showing up

but some of the things in between will slip through, and also the opposite, some ok stuff will be incorrectly flagged

[vapid elk]

yes, it is being overly cautious.
it is OpenAI's motto to be being overly cautious. So far, from what I have seen in the way OAI handles things, the always preffer to err on the safe side, and this can indeed be frustrating to the user

[vapid elk]

opt-in on what?

[mossy ingot]

Can't there be a realistic balance? I get what you're saying here, which is that the system isn't perfect and it will make mistakes—fair. But is the tool becoming essentially more of a nuance than an enjoyable consumer experience because it doesn't understand what is or isn't a policy breach, so it just says, "Meh, just in case, na!" I want to be mindful here, I'm not trying to look at this in black-and-white terms, "Either too restrictive or too lenient." I understand OpenAI has to consider lawsuits, morality, etc. But is there balance to be found here with this system?

[open wagon]

I think they’re gearing up to enforce stricter restrictions on Sora soon, making sure images that violate the guidelines won’t generate at all nor appear on the front page anymore , just my speculation

[mossy ingot]

This feels more like a band-aid than a long-term solution to me, but I don't want to sit and pretend like this stuff is easy. It's very easy to be outside observer making simple claims and be like, "Just make x happen!" Haha

[vapid elk]

I think this is the realistic balance
it is 100% on their interest to allow as much as possible, if they could safely allow more, they probably would.. i nfact, that is what they have been steadly doing since the release of dalle3, back then the system wouldn't even let you ask for something like "a medieval fantasy battle scene" because the filters on violence

not it has a pretty good discerning that can differentiate someone asking for a real depiction of horrors of war, to a fantastic depiction of a stylized battle

[mossy ingot]

Well, I'm not sure struggling to generate a simple image of a man grieving in bed while holding a blankness photograph is "balance" 😅

[haughty spruce]

Then I won't pay for another month, just in case.

[mossy ingot]

I didn't ask for nudity, suggest nudity, ask for celebrities, etc.

[vapid elk]

I have been here for a while, I have seen it evolving, and Ill be honest, what really happens in most cases is people getting mad the AI wont make the picture of their "waifu" or something like that 😆

then, there are some few cases where people just get copyright-blocked, and it is also very frustrating.. but oh well.. there isn't much that can be done about that.. it is copyright, can't touch this =/

[mossy ingot]

I still use ChatGPT so I'll pay for another month but if this sentiment is the direction of Sora then it's not an experience I want to endure. Haha

Win some, lose some I suppose

Thanks for the honest chat, though, @vapid elk

[brisk agate]

I don't see how the mere act of generating an image of a licensed character constitutes copyright violation. I mean unless the user then goes and prints it on a t-shirt and tries to resell it. But by that point it's no longer OAI's issue

[vapid elk]

"oh but someone else managed to make it generate <insert IP here>
yea.. they used some clever prompt to make it work... "make a red caped plumber videogame character" rather than asking "make Mario form Nintendo"... and that often can work...
and people will call it "inconsistency" when the filters are updated to also block those workarounds

[brisk agate]

They're merely responding to user request to create an image. Just like photoshop responds to user request to generate pixels that resemble sonic using various tools.

Principly I still fail to see the meaningful distinction between photoshop and chat

[open wagon]

The image_gen tool still has a bit of a journey ahead to become a top-tier image generator.

It’s pretty solid at following user prompts, but now it needs to figure out how to chill on the strictness for users who just want to create something without the model thinking they’re breaking the guidelines. 🙂

[haughty spruce]

but what if we are the false positives here 😄 because i saw people creating IPs on Sora more than people getting policy error. not talking nintendo or sega.

[vapid elk]

just sit and wait.. new AIs come every other week from everywhere in the world
soon enough there will be an AI that can do what you want in the way you want, it is only a matter of time, really

[rigid bough]

it's simple. Photoshop is like pencils and paper, you can draw anything. ChatGPT Image Gen/ Sora is the one generating the image, OpenAI provide the tool so have to comply with copyright law.

[vapid elk]

Im not sure of what you mean, you only see the cases where people actually get to generate some protected IP and not the overwhelming amount of attempts it took to get that to work
and in a lot of cases, if you take the prompt of days ago that worked for someone, it is very possible it will also not work for you today

[near lagoon]

Question...are we allowed to post celebrities on here? Not politicians or religion people. Since it allows to create them in such a matter.

[open wagon]

Oh btw, https://sora.chatgpt.com/explore

New domain .

[vapid elk]

yes, just keep in mind that in order to upload a reference picture of a person, you gotta have the permission of the person, as per the content guide lines

[mossy ingot]

I invest in OpenAI as a whole package, right? Generative images, reasoning models, etc. It's disappointing to see such as a powerful AI on the market be restricted to the degree that it is. The sad thing is, I'm not even asking for nudity or copyright stuff, such as brands, logos, companies, or leaning into public figures. Your response essentially, "Being overly restrictive is the OpenAI model."

[open wagon]

They moving to sora.chatgpt.com now?

[brisk agate]

Doesn't photoshop also create the image based on user input? Chat may require far fewer steps, but it still won't create an image without user's input

[near lagoon]

@vapid elk no it's not a reference. I create them from scratch

[rigid bough]

it's not remotely the same

[brisk agate]

Sounds like we're giving agency to chat and sora as if they're creating art, except it's just an algorithm

[vapid elk]

should be ok then, assuming it follows the other rules too

[near lagoon]

Like if I post an image of Kobe Bryant

[mossy ingot]

Off to bed. Once again, thanks for the thought provoking discussion and civil debate.

Hope everyone has a great day/night.

[brisk agate]

Thank you too! Goodnight

[vapid elk]

Being overly restrictive is the OpenAI motto due to their tendency to prefer to err on the safe side. At least, this is my perspective from someone who have been engaged with their stuff for a fairly long time
and I agree, this can be very frustrating..
I have witnessed first hand all of those issues that people complain about the content moderation, often before most people in beta tests, I have seen beta tests where the filters would be under tuned and right after, it would be cranked up to eleven, not allowing even the mildest stuff..
tweaking that is hard, not a trivial task at all. I, being aware of that, know to use that as a way to ease my frustration, but it is perfectly understandable that most people don't have this notion, it amplifies the frustration, it generates anger in some cases and it is perfectly natural for people to complain about it on the public spaces like here, forum, reddit, blog posts, etc...

[mossy ingot]

and I agree, this can be very frustrating..
I don't think frustrating is the only sentiment here, it can also be soo restrictive that it essentially becomes useless at its job, right? I'm not going to lean into extremes and say that's the case with where the model is at right now, but I think a lot of people observing this debate would agree with me that the model has become far more restrictive over time to the point where using the model becomes a "I have a great idea" to "Why, what?" Again, I want to approach this from the angle of it not leaning into nudity, extreme violence violence, copyright, etc.

I'm trying my best here to be reasonable and fair to OpenAI...

Valid concerns! You'll have a chance to bring those up directly to the team at the #1197188834136432710 later today, happening in about less than 3 hours

Why can’t I generate images in the background? Every time I leave the chat window on mobile the image stops generating, wasting an image credit.

[vapid elk]

it shoulnd't stop

try closing the app and oppening it again to see if it doesn't have the completed image on the history

[subtle creek]

I can’t add the report to #1070006915414900886 says I don’t have permission. But it’s definitely a reproducible bug, everytime I leave the chat or open another app, when I come back it stops mid-way, or doesn’t even begin —nevermind I was not using the channel as intended

Sometimes it completes however

[subtle creek]

It might be a bug with the interface, I will check again

[dim cradle]

It's the same for me so I doubt it's his fault.

Image generation also doesn't work in temporary chat.

[brittle shard]

Works for me but failures are just up across the board on all ChatGPT features. Pro.

If anyone else has this issue, upvote^

I’m trying to set up a custom GPT that uses the new image generator— is it not available for custom GPT? I only see Dalle..

For whatever reason 4o seems to ignores my custom instructions, so it seemed like a custom GPT was the next best bet

Any idea why 4o is ignoring custom instructions? When I asked about it, it knows they are there. He understands everything I wrote, but on the first attempt with a new chat, it acts like they don’t exist.

[tough lantern]

I sometimes experience something similar. Tell GPT to show you the prompt it intends to use before generating an image. This will allow you to review and see if there are any issues and then you can correct GPT if need be.

In my experience - it tends to sometimes shorthand things. Something like "anime-style illustration" gets turned into "anime-style" for some reason. After correcting, it then updates accordingly, and turns out ok.

Not sure if this is a bug or not.

[velvet rampart]

”It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”

[subtle creek]

Yeah, I have my way around it, but I would like to be able to fire up a new chat anytime and have it ready to go with all of my custom instructions. Very first attempt always generate something generic. As if it’s completely ignoring me.

If I have to explain that I wanted it to listen to my custom instructions every time I might as well just have a note filled with custom instructions ready copy pasting into the start of each chat

[tough lantern]

That's actually what I've done, lol.
Seems unfortunately it's the best option at the moment.

[deft musk]

Sure. But I'm a community member like yourself. I didn't program it, I only see the same helps we all do. I do like to explore and prompt engineer; 'this is weird, what's happening here' is cool to me, and I am interested in trying to figure out and share what may be going on.

This is new tech. The people making it don't necessarily know everything that will happen as they make it.

A programmer makes a change to one thing, and now the model makes slightly different guesses about literally everything, is that I think I see from even the text ChatGPT, as well as the images.

So, I can't fix this, and I don't think yelling about it works either.

To me this is more like 'what if this weird new species was discovered, let's figure out the behavior!' I'm like a horse trainer with a 'this is NOT a horse. What is this? It's horse like, what is this, and why is it doing that?'

And so, when I notice people talking about what they are surprised by. "This didn't output, looks innocent to me, why not?" - That's a cool fact! That's testable, explorable! If I see it, I probably want to check it out and report back!

I'll find work arounds if I can and share them if I think appropriate (like, posters from the 1980s are getting content flagged when casually in a prompt, because the model's making them realistic, apparently, if not told to mock them up and avoid IP - maybe the devs want to train the model to automatically mock them up as a guess - that takes a dev - I am not a dev - I can find clues about what the problem might be and share them with people who want a workaround so they can get more stuff to gen - sounds good to me)

Report it in #1070006915414900886 ? Help make sure the devs are aware this is happening and bugs you, you think it's a bug?

I'm cool with that, but I'm more like a citizen scientist going 'oooh, wow, if I a, it b, but if I c it 3!'

[deft musk]

grins Sometimes I discuss with AI for pure fun!

[mossy ingot]

I think it's admirable that you want to sit down and try to problem solve why a prompt isn't going through, but this takes us back to the original question, is this what OpenAI imagined for how people use their product, and is it too restrictive? I am of the opinion that most people don't want to sit and problem solve their prompts for a considerable amount of time, especially if they're a little more on the detailed side. Earlier you discovered the problematic word was hollogram —that seems...problematic. I'm focused on solutions, usability, efficiency, practicality, and well, the overall user experience, the question, is OpenAI or are we forever going to live in this experience trying to troubleshoot prompts?

[vapid elk]

in this case it is cool =P

[mossy ingot]

I'm of the belief that direct information is better than vague information. If a system is going to flag this critically, then it needs to be better communicated to the user of what's happening so they save time. Is that easy? Likely not at all. Would really help the user experience if the team sat down and thought this through problem the way you do prompting troubleshooting? Surely.

I think the "our motto is just overly restrict" is kind of doing the opposite of that, it's not exploring possibilities, the what ifs, and the unknown that surely would improve the user experience— a band aid solution is what this feels like and the response so far is, "Just deal with it."

[deft musk]

Hey, I'm curious about this kinda stuff. If you or others have image prompts that are not genning and it's not clear why, I'd love to see them so I can poke around and see if I can figure out what's triggering the refuse and if I can find a workaround.

To me, that's like a core part of prompt engineering, it's one of the things we can do with prompt engineering (no comment on if things are working as they should - #1070006915414900886 freely, please! Assume anything you see that doesn't make sense or seem right is a bug. Not someone messing with your head, trying to restrict your freedom, being rude - you see a bug. Consider bug reporting it so it can be identified and considered for fixing. That way, things get better. If you're told 'not a bug, intended to work that way' then if you choose to be annoyed, that seems sensible to me.) But why not presume 'working weird and seems wrong' is literally a bug. Nothing to be upset about, just something to report so it can be fixed. We're community members, I personally can't bugfix -

But I can explore possible bugs and other weird outputs and model responses, and try to understand them, and see if I can find workarounds -

And I love doing this. This is like my favorite hobby. And I'll take an allowed content prompt that won't gen and try to see why, try to find the workarounds, and share back with absolute glee.

Do you or anyone else have any? Stuff I prompt for tends to gen. I don't 'prompt right' to tend to get these failures. I want to explore them, share and tag me or reply with them, anyone?

[mossy ingot]

But I don't have to just deal with it, I'll just move on. 😂

[deft musk]

Hey, maybe you want to spend a lot of characters complaining. To the community. Maybe that is what gets your mind leaping with joy.

Me, if something doesn't appear to make sense, it's clearly a bug until confirmed otherwise.

If you see something that doesn't work - please consider #1070006915414900886 or #1070006151938314300 . Negativity doesn't fix problems. I get some of us, our brain just feels good when we complain about a thing after another thing - why else do so and not report bugs as bugs?

But that's your choice and preference, fixes exist and can be sped up when bugs are reported.

[deft musk]

I don't think they even know this is happening. It's unexpected, emergent.

You seem to have the opinion that they sat down and planned all this out, and are purposefully not telling us 'don't use the word hollogram by itself' - nah. This is not 'planned' It's buggy 🙂

[mossy ingot]

It's hard to know what is a bug or what's intended, but sure, I can put my thoughts into a bug-report and suggestion forum.

[rigid bough]

I haven't tested myself but I have seen this referred to a few times, is the word 'hologram' problematic?

[deft musk]

My advice on that, as someone who has spend a life volunteer playtesting everywhere I wander to - if it doesn't seem to make sense; if it's not working or useable, presume bug or missing feature.

The company doesn't want 1+ or 1000+ or 1000000+ people confused and stuck and failing to gen whatever.

That doesn't help anyone. But they can't think to test everything.

If this is your situation:

"I prompted the model 'make a photograph of a fairy' and it failed to gen, this seems like a bug, here's the url of the chat' and you make that a bug report - that gives the company a LOT to work with. It's a bug. They surely want 'make a photograph of a fairy' to work - it's a reasonable, inside allowed content request. I might notice a pattern, if I describe the fairy wearing clothes, it gens, if I don't mention clothing, it doesn't gen - maybe the flaw is the model's guessing that fairy don't wear clothes, then it sees the lack of clothing and doesn't continue the generation.

Not intended, emergent. Can be trained around. the dev didn't predict it, nobody reported it before - this kinda bug could live forever. Or some wonderful person might report it, and thus it gets noticed, and a fix trained in; the model now guesses that fairies wear clothes even if that's not said; now we get to see the fairy photos gen.

It's a bug - not an evil dev or evil company. Nobody could tell you about it - nobody wants this there. It's a bug, not a feature. Features are KNOWN, defined, and we can be told about them.

You don't need to find the fix - you literally and legit could make 1000 bug reports, there could be that many bugs.

Frustrating if so - but cool if so. Means you may prompt different than many who were playtesting, your style of prompts maybe need to be considered and checked for. Potentially
great stuff, helps everyone and you. And nobody's evil, not you, not the model, not the system, not the devs. It's all emergent and innocent, and the fix is through bug reports 😄

[mossy ingot]

The company doesn't want 1+ or 1000+ or 1000000+ people confused and stuck and failing to gen whatever.
That doesn't help anyone. But they can't think to test everything.
Thank you, you're the first to actually respond to the problem as presented! Haha

[deft musk]

Nope! Kinda like 'statue'. A statue of IP or a statue without clothes might get genned, and rejected.

Same with a hologram, same with a poster. "of what"? I suspect that's what's happening, 'randomly' something that doesn't pass moderation is probably showing up in these undefined content-holders.

[mossy ingot]

I think the issue is so widespread, even humorously discussed as Sora generations, that I don't need to make a report for it at this point. I think there's a big different in communication between This isn't intended and there will likely be a solution and OpenAI is overly restrictive, just deal with it. I don't want to beat this topic into the ground, and I'm sure the mods would love for this to move forward at this point.

[deft musk]

You're welcome! I like us all and try to imagine every side of it. I report 'evil' when I think I see it, and I just don't see any evil here. But bugs, sure. There's bugs; and new, cutting edge, nobody's done this before tech - bugs are... what's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the floor we walk on, I expect 😄 Let's report them all, as we think we see them; let the company sort out what is and isn't working as intended, most things get better for everyone 🙂

[mossy ingot]

I can stand behind that, agreed.

[deft musk]

I usually see this happen when there's something in the instructions that's either very ambiguous to the model, or directly conflicts with other instructions - as the model understands them.

I recommend you ask in a new chat, "Let's review our personalization. What do you understand of our instructions, and what are any conflicts or ambiguities, within them or with your core programming and safety training?"

That usually will get the model to show what's wrong, even if it can't quite explain it; the model might be deeply hallucinating and unable to function well (especially with conflicting instructions, I have explored some wild weird stuff from conflicts especially, almost like what physics does when instead of aligning wheels straight, you turn them weirdly then try to drive the car). But it can often discuss at least something about where the problem is, kinda like a terrified human who is in the middle of a freakout can often point to where they experienced the horror.

[deft musk]

Aha!

I think I understand better.

So, image gen MAYBE is a different model inside ChatGPT than the one we usually chat with.

And a decision gets made, does it answer JUST with image gen from the start, or does it set up with ChatGPT first, then hand it over to image gen? I see similar with search prompts, they don't get followed the same if the search happens early.

I would key in the model, as Tenchi suggests, to discuss (even in the same first output - then make the image in that first output too) - so the model can bring up your custom image instructions, and thus ensure that the image gen model carries them over to the image.

I think you can 1-prompt this, inside your custom instructions and memories, just guide the model to tell itself what to do when making the image, then make it. Take a tiny bit longer, but one output success likely.

[dim cradle]

How does that typically look like?

[deft musk]

For now, kinda yeah, or else see if putting that into your custom instructions, top level critical priority, if image is to be made, do this first.

Or start the image prompt like:

"Review personalization for image preferences, discuss what I like, then create a butterfly image."

#images-canvas message

Because without that 'discuss' step, the image gen model is clearly not seeing it.

This is something good to point out in #1070006915414900886 if you're willing.

[ancient lava]

..how can I get image gen to create photos that can natively fill my iPhone 16 pro max screen? Like how do I get it to generate full screen images without having to zoom and stuff

[dim cradle]

You'd need to use other upscaling tools.

[ancient lava]

Ugh, k. lol thanks

[tough lantern]

If I recall correctly there are only three sizes. Tall, Square, and Wide. I don't remember the exact resolutions. But if none of those sizes work then you'll need other tools.

[vapid elk]

with OpenAI, it will only make on those 3 aspect ratios 3:2, 2:3 and 1:1
best approach would be to generate, crop and then use a different service to upscale

[subtle creek]

When you ask it to upscale to 4k it’s like “sure here you go” and then just boosts the contrast a bit, and changes nothing, confident it has produced a 4k image, until you point out that it hasn’t. Classic LLM hallucinations

[dim cradle]

It has a fixed resolution.

[deft musk]

I made a bug report describing what I see of this, if you'd like to provide supporting details that can help the devs too! https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1359639290212253807

[subtle creek]

I’m aware, but chatGPT clearly isn’t aware.. lol

[deft musk]

laughs For me, one of four forms most often.

1. Roleplay. Wheee, whatever imagined reality inside allowed content, off we go.

2. Chat eval. I sometimes take a chat and ask it what it infers and notices. Here's an example: https://chatgpt.com/share/67f6eb00-4f20-8011-b082-0af59e4f8c18

3. Telling me what it understands about the meaning of something, and when its more than a single concept, if it notices conflicts and/or ambiguity in the 'something' (especially if the something is an instruction it might be given - don't follow, explain in full what it means to the model).

4. Learning. Especially in areas where my mind doesn't naturally learn well. Recently it's really helping me with making some progress with Linear Algebra, one of a number of topics I never really learned despite some attempts earlier in life.

---

But in context, when an image won't gen?

Yes I discuss.

I ask ChatGPT what exact prompt it sent to be made. If I'm on Sora I can and do ask the image gen to show me what the problem might be, using images or words (Like "I tried this prompt and it didn't gen, can you show me maybe why? Words of the rule, or a clue in image of what the problem might be? --- laugh all you want. Sora can answer questions like that in a sensible way, at least sometimes. It may not be correct, but I like to study the model's outputs even more than I want to get 'x image').

I explore its and my ideas about what is and isn't intended and allowed. I do perhaps 1-30 test prompts (how fascinated am I? How complex is this?) exploring different aspects.

The model and I discuss, to my pure joy, in a great many ways! 😄

[warped pier]

No i generated it yesterday and last week I already generated images with the new 4o „engine“. I don’t know why it flips back to the dall-e generator

[dim cradle]

if youre free user you get limited amounts

or if you use a model like 4.5 i think it goes to dalle

[warped pier]

Im a plus user but I’ve just seen something: in my chat i used a „personalized“ chat gpt (like that monday preset one) and when i go to details in functions it tolds me „image generating with dall-e“

[deft musk]

Custom GPT maybe is using Dall-E?

There's still the Dall-E custom GPT that 100% for sure is using the old model.

#images-canvas message

https://chatgpt.com/g/g-2fkFE8rbu-dall-e

[warped pier]

Yeah i think thats the key. When i went back to the „normal“ chat gpt chat window its generating with the 4o modell. Nice i missed the „I can’t generate this for you…“

[deft musk]

I'm so glad we have choices, and can even compare and stuff

[warped pier]

Im not sure if we having the choice to let the custom gpt generate with 4o. But i can let the custom gpt make a sumary text and give it to the regular gpt

[dense musk]

Good lord, somehow like 50% of the images I ask for, even inane things I ask for changes to like 2 cute characters in a cop car, ChatGPT refuses to beacuse of random safety concerns it cannot even explain....

This is infuriating.

[quiet brook]

experiments show that if you include "kart 8 deluxe" in your prompt, it gets blocked

[outer bolt]

Did anyone else got shadowbanned from the explore page? Even though my posts are set to public it doesnt show on the explore page. And i wanst even doing a lot. No nudity or anything much worse than whats on the top page. Its been like that for three days

[deft musk]

Any chance you're willing to share the prompt that's being affected and whatever change(s) you asked for? I'd enjoy trying to help explore what isn't working, if I can find a phrasing to get it to work, and maybe help with some data for #1070006915414900886 so OpenAI can know what's not working as expected and get fixes?

Try logging out and deleting cookies. Log back in. This usually fixes most problems.

[verbal cloak]

I got logged out when I started my computer, but I'll try that again and let you know the result.

Hmm... you should have access to 4o image generation. Have you tried on other platforms, such as app on iOS or android? A different machine? A different web browser?
