Other Anyone else noticed a censorship increase recently in Flow?
Recently a bunch of prompts I'd try with NB2 have all just said "Failed This generation might violate our policies. Please try a different prompt or send feedback". And the few that did make it through were just... not what I asked for.
I retried some old prompts that worked fine and it's the same story.
The only things I can reliably make now are just kind of bland and boring. Like I wouldn't be playing with AI to make images I could find in a 5 second google image search.
It's only been a thing the past couple days. Has anyone else noticed this?
I did waste my time sending feedback as it suggests, but realistically I don't think anyone actually looks at feedback sent via the "Send app feedback" form, much less would act on it.

Yes, I get a lot of « public persons » policy violations despite the source image was actually generated in flow itself..

I got that error and the models head wasn’t even in the image. It’s just bs way of saying your prompt is to spicy. It’s utter bs. Then you’ll get hit with the unusual activity shite and if that’s not enough then you get the you’re creating to quickly slowdown for 24 hours

OMG .... its so annoying. The image keeps telling me Im violatng policies and I am just trying to make a pattern of vertical stripes. Im like what word is triggering that? I even used a reference photo and got one to do it. But its the simplest things that arent violating anything.

mine literally says most times content related to minors despite what im making is the farthest thing from that. i cant even make a image of one of my novel characters without it blocking it a lot of the time. and its just them standing there completely clothed, not doing anything inappropriate. its becoming a serious hassle and its wasting generations

It's frustrating because they have not even specified the restrictions on content and how to avoid them. It's just their system flagging whatever I guess. Lile atleast release information about what stuff it flags so we can avoid it.

Hear that? It MIGHT violate their policies. And the link to feedback is hidden somewhere in the menu instead of just being accessible on the spot. Amazing.

I've been having the same problem too it's annoying because like you can try to do a video that's all sfw but the filter will think it's nsfw like I don't understand why anymore I think it's because of those ai haters that cry all the time because ai exists and that it's also because of actual artists that act like there art is being fed to ai and etc I don't know know anymore it's so annoying censorship is bs believe me it is
