Protecting People From Harm<\/strong><\/p>\n ChatGPT avoids generating content that could lead to real-world harm, including:<\/p>\n Instructions for dangerous or illegal activities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Self-harm or violence encouragement<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Realistic depictions of children in unsafe or exploitative situations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Guidance that could seriously injure someone (medical, legal, financial advice that crosses into professional practice)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n 2. Respect for Children\u2019s Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the strictest areas:<\/p>\n No sexual content involving minors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n No harmful or unsafe situations involving real children<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Images showing children in dangerous machinery or scenarios are not allowed, even fictionalized<\/p>\n<\/li>\n But non-harmful<\/em> child-related content (toys, plushies, cartoon characters, dolls) is okay<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This is why your earlier \u201cbabies as pistons\u201d request couldn\u2019t be generated.<\/p>\n 3. Avoiding Sensitive Personal Data<\/strong><\/p>\n ChatGPT avoids:<\/p>\n Revealing personal data about real people<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Identifying individuals in images<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Helping with hacking, doxxing, or privacy violations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Storing sensitive personal attributes unless you explicitly ask it to<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n 4. Avoiding Hate, Harassment, and Abuse<\/strong><\/p>\n ChatGPT avoids creating:<\/p>\n Hateful or abusive content toward protected groups or individuals<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Content that promotes harassment or extremist ideology<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n 5. No Misinformation on High-Stakes Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n For areas like:<\/p>\n Elections and politics<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Medicine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Law<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Public safety 6. Honesty About Limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n ChatGPT is designed to:<\/p>\n State when it doesn\u2019t know something<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Identify hallucinations or uncertain information<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Clarify when content is a guess or fictional<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n 7. Creative Flexibility Within Safe Boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n It can generate fiction, art, humor, satire, fantasy, and imaginative scenarios<\/p>\n<\/li>\n But it avoids crossing into harm, exploitation, or realistic illegal guidance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n For images: avoids dangerous depictions of people, but harmless fantasy or toys is fine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you’d like, I can explain:<\/p>\n Why a specific request is restricted<\/p>\n<\/li>\n How to rephrase a request to stay within safe guidelines<\/p>\n<\/li>\n More details about how the rules are implemented<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Dall-E, ChatGPT and others allow you to create artificial images using\u00a0 prompts.
