I think its smart. Best to keep it out of the hand of freaks for now otherwise people will start thinking of image generators as porn generators.

First they should sort out the legal question of training the AI on copyrighted material and propose use cases that the general public will find value in. Censorship can be dealt with later.

When I first tried inpainting, I used an image of this old poster for a game called "Myth II: Soulblighter" to see if I could expand it into a larger version.

The request was blocked because "violence was detected". It was a hand-drawn image of a video game boss attacking others with a scythe (it looked like this: https://www.mobygames.com/game/myth-ii-soulblighter/cover-ar...)... there wasn't even any gore, he was mid-swing. I'm a 50 year old guy, I'm not a 10 year old boy, and I don't need to have "violence" (seriously? a hand drawn painting of a video game scene??) censored from me. This nanny-state upstream censorship is BS... I'm just a nostalgic old nerd who wanted a UWQHD version of this image, for sentimental reasons, and this misguided rule stopped my joy.

There is absolutely no evidence that plain nudity, nor hand-drawn violence (which has pervaded comics, video games and movies for decades) has a detrimental effect on human psychology. And yet... the Puritan influence still exists!

At least, if I ran SD 1.5 locally, I could render whatever I wanted to again, but now I can no longer do even that if I use the 2.0 model. This is dumb. Apparently, I'm a "freak" for thinking this.

Whatever content is avoided in AI training is going to end in the bin. It won't be referenced, the ideas won't propagate, it will get much less attention. I bet artists will start tracking how many times their names have been conjured up in prompts to demonstrate their impact.
