How does it determine they are well known and not just similar looking?
replyGemini often rejects photos of random people (even ones it generated itself) because it thinks they look too similar to some well known person.
replyI don't know tbh. I've tried it on 10-20 various level of famous standups and Gemini refuses every time
replyJust for testing, I just tried this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_KJdP4FLGTo/sddefault.jpg ("Redesign this image in a brutalist graphic design style"). Gemini refuses (api as well as UI), OpenAI does it
It's not super deterministic but it didn't fail once on my attempts. See: https://imgur.com/a/james-acaster-cold-lasagne-1R7fpzQ
replyVery interesting. It fails every single time for me. I'm in Germany, maybe Google is stricter here?
replyThat makes sense to me. I just Googled around like a fool and got here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights#Germany
replyIt seems like they're trying to follow local law. What a nightmare to have to manage all jurisdictions around such a product. Surprised it didn't kill image generation entirely.
Yea, especially when they know all that work will be completely pointless in a few years when open source / local models will be just as good and won't have any legal limitations, so people will be generating fake images of famous people like crazy with nothing stopping them
replyWhat if you change the prompt to tell it specifically its not a famous person? Or try it without text?
replyThere are models specifically for detecting well known people https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/celebritie...
replyAre you using Google Gemini directly? I've found the Vertex API seems to be significantly less strict.
