less exciting: they put their brands in the blacklist
they wouldn't want Dall-E's name plastered next to some harmful/offensive content. or generate uncontrolled PR from stupid meme articles. wouldn't be a bad idea to chuck all the companies names/brands in there. wouldn't be surprised if "OpenAI" and "GPT-3" are banned too.
based on the comments, the policy violations cover a lot of territory - covid, explosive, nuclear war.
one commenter said that "glass of guidelines" violates the policy, which is a nonsensical statement. suggesting either "guidelines" is a banned word. Or, maybe they have a content policy classifier, in which case a bunch of random stuff will probably trigger it.
_for sure_ they're not worried the "AI might visualize itself", that's not really a thing
> I tried to ask for Dall-E by name but that was a content policy violation.
It seems like they are trying to prevent it from visualizing “itself”.
Is there a less exciting explanation?
