As with most of these tools, it appears that it is reasonably easy to get it to generate some truly hilarious/disturbing stuff, probably not for long: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/16wf1i0/dalle_3_is...

I'm kind of hoping that they adjust it to ask for clarification or find some sort of soft adjustment to make them less problematic rather than just trying to do blind keyword blocking.

Of course, I'd love for them to take the approach as well that folks are just going to do what they do, and maybe they'll burn out the novelty and give it a rest.

I asked for an image of The Muppets as the counter-terrorist team from Counter Strike and that got blocked, so "terrorism" is definitely getting picked up understandably.
I don't see how blocking "Counterstrike" is understandable or helpful. How aren't these kind of restrictions just infantilizing users ?
You might be able to do "counter strike" and "ct" but "terrorism" as a word might be banned, even in the context of "counter-terrorism"
I may be missing something, but how does a prompt containing "fawn" turn into terrifying Spongebob?

[Edit: The prompt didn't contain "fawn", see the replies]

The top comment is not the prompt, it's a different image. "Fawn" generated a fawn.

OP's prompt is below:

> Create a fuzzy phone picture of a cryptid sighting of spongebob as he runs into the bushes. Spongebob has gone completely insane. He turns his head and creepily looks into the camera as he makes his getaway. There's a thick fog and the scene is dimly lit.

There is a photo of a "fawn", I don't think the prompt for the spongebob was published...https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/16wf1i0/comment/k2...
