> it suggested that I would lose my asking privileges if I kept it up with the weird prompts

This makes me hella curious about the type of stuff you were requesting.

My first request was a Captain Beefheart lyric ("making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee") because I wanted to see how it would take something concrete "monkey on my knee" and integrate it with not only a metaphor, but one that had changed over time ("making love" used to refer making out, a.a.a. prolonged kissing, rather than sex). Additionally, I wanted to see if it had hoovered up a rendition of that exact lyric off of Exploding Dog (an artist makes odd drawings from submitted phrases and prompts) some twenty-two years prior.

Of all of the celebrities, it seemed reticent to draw Fred Rogers as, well, Fred Rogers, despite me being able to make some fairly appalling melds of others, like Rod Serling and Marilyn Monroe.

Additionally, someone has put in an overly-touchy anti-vore filter.

I've tried to do a bunch of prompts involving, like, pirates and cannons - rapiers and daggers. 16th century Treasure Island aesthetic. No bueno.

I also tried uploading a film still, and it said I may not use realistic faces. So I used another AI tool to remove the face. It still wouldn't budge.

It's really easy to find a false positive prompt so you have to be really careful.

It puzzled me for a while, but then it made sense:

"A hairy ball with lights at the end is manipulated by a human"

Not a great prompt, but it seemed like a good start. I imagined fiber optic strings attached to a ball and a human doing some stuff around it like a wizard or something. But then I realized that "hairy ball" might lead to something completely different :)

Okay, no problem, I changed it to "tumbleweed" but that triggered the drug filter so I gave up and tried something else :)

There's something hilarious about having all of this "such wow, much AI" machine-learning safeguarded by primitive wordfilters that get Scunthorped like chumps.

I expanded on this in another comment, but their content policy is incredibly restrictive:
