OpenAI's filters are a total joke. I tried to upload The Creation of Adam (from the Sistene Chapel), blocked for adult content. "Continued violations may restrict your account". Yeah, it has naughty bits in it, but it's probably in the top ten most recognizable pieces of art ever made. I tried to generate an image of "yarn bombing", blocked for violence. They have the most advanced AI in the world and they can't solve the Scunthorpe problem?

They're not content filters as much as Doing Something filters. They're there to convince people that they're doing something, and of course if it wasn't zealous and regularly tut-tutted people for desiring a rubber duck, you wouldn't know they were doing something.
I was repeatedly warnings by gpt3 for trying to create images of a “rubber duck”. No idea what it thought I was looking for.
Maybe because "rubber" is a term for condom? If so, yikes.
The most advanced AI in the world isn't advanced enough to solve that, just yet. Either that, or it's not worth it for them to use it to do so.
