I am forced to edit the immortal words of Shelley:
Suddenly, I understand “free speech” absolutists like Elon Musk, and I want to set my entire fortune on fire in order to something something change something speech rights.
It bugs me, occasionally, when I confront how America’s taliban-like hatred of erotica makes us do such stupid things. I would not care, if it was just stupid people doing stupid things to themselves, but this fear of the word “bare” makes Midjourney do stupid things to me, and me to do stupid things to Shelley.
Ugh, and all I wanted was a screen background for the control panel of my storage server. Why’d everything get so complicated?
I changed “bare” to “empty”, forgive me forgive me.
I think this captures the feel of Shelley’s poem better, anyhow:
Ooohh, baby. Show me some naked desert, with the sand all barren of flora and fauna.
Now, that’s some hot stuff.
😜
Geez, maybe somebody could write an AI that could analyze the context of the word “bare” in a prompt and decide whether it is acceptable or not.
And what language is that? :-)
Just what did old Mother Hubbard do in her cupboard, anyway?
And don’t even ask about those B*** Naked Ladies up in Canadia!
I am thinking that, since poetry often uses language unusually, maybe AI are particularly confused by it.
Lol. That pretty much shows the limits of their AI – sure, it can generate images from text descriptions, but its input filtering still suffers from the Scunthorpe Problem.
@5:
Nowt to do with AI. The unfiltered underlying process would just do what it does.
The overlying filter is entirely the result of Human Stupidity.

They actually did that – if your output image is “not safe for work” it deletes it and complains at you.
I don’t get what all the fuss is – there isn’t a human actually involved, it’s just data and pixels.
All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder,
For filth (I’m glad to say) is in
The mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd.
(I could tell you things about peter pan,
And the wizard of oz, there’s a dirty old man!)
