I work in the space. There are a lot of use cases that get censored by OpenAI, Kling, Runway, and various other providers for a wide variety of reasons:
- OpenAI is notorious for blocking copyrighted characters. They do prompt keyword scanning, but also run a VLM on the results so you can't "trick" the model.
- Lots of providers block public figures and celebrities.
- Various providers block LGBT imagery, even safe for work prompts. Kling is notorious for this.
- I was on a sales call with someone today who runs a father's advocacy group. I don't know what system he was using, but he said he found it impossible to generate an adult male with a child. In a totally safe for work context.
- Some systems block "PG-13" images of characters that are in bathing suits or scantily clad.
None of this is porn, mind you.
