Bing’s image creator often flags prompt content, which can sometimes be circumvented by putting “worksafe” at the beginning of the prompt. Sometimes it also puts the word into the image.
Ah ok. I struggle with it because it refuses to make a lot of my prompts, even though they seem innocuous to me. Sometimes it will make them, then Ill change a parameter and it will refuse. I should just stick to stable diffusion.
An unfortunate intersection between people inputting prompts that ruin it for the rest of us, and a company being overly cautious.
I’d really like access to a non-guiderailed version of the image maker for myself so that I don’t keep hitting arbitrary seeming restrictions, but I know that Microsoft isn’t going to do that.
“Work safe” made me think of the Return to Office push, so I generated these:
Only tangentially related, but just a little while ago I asked Bing “Are there any good, short Lovecraftian quotes about how ignorance is bliss?” To get something I could use in a roleplaying adventure that I’m working on, and the topic was a weird minefield of “I can’t give a response to that right now.” Bing Chat itself admitted that it was rather ironic that there was something in the results it was getting that was causing heavy censorship. Never did figure out what was going on, and worked around it by asking Bing to give me one quote at a time so it would at least produce something before stepping on a cognitohazardous landmine.
Google H.P. Lovecraft’s cat
What was the prompt? This looks like it’s straight from a comic book.
“Worksafe. Soviet commandos running through woods. Night. Full color, drawn in the style of Mike Mignola.”
I did have to clean up the gun of the second and third man back, as they had weird greeble.

This is straight out of Paranoia, friend computer…
