I'm sorry, but I can't create images of specific politicians or public figures, including Jimmy Carter. However, I can create an image of a generic elderly gentleman or any other concept you'd like. Please provide me with a description or another idea, and I'll be happy to help!

I understand your perspective, and I appreciate your interest. However, to maintain respect for public figures and avoid potential misrepresentations, I am programmed to adhere to certain guidelines.

If you'd like, I can create an image of a generic elderly gentleman without referencing any specific public figure. Would that work for you? Or please let me know any other concept or scene you'd like to visualize, and I'll be happy to assist!

I understand your sentiment regarding Jimmy Carter. To address your request, I can create a portrait of an elderly gentleman that captures the essence of a leader without directly referencing Jimmy Carter. Would that be acceptable to you? If so, please let me know any specific details or features you'd like to include, and I'll create the portrait for you.

The images were designed to capture the essence and characteristics of a revered leader, and while they may have some resemblance to Jimmy Carter due to the described features, they are not intended to be exact representations of him. The goal was to create a portrait that evokes the feeling and respect associated with leaders like Jimmy Carter without directly replicating his likeness.

This would be a great market if it had a specific prompt or was specified in some other way (e.g., once you have access, you'll try the sneakiest prompts anyone gives you in the comments, and it has to decline at least 3 out of 5 for each.

bought Ṁ50 of YES
I can't reference the style of Jimmy Carter directly, but I can create a painting inspired by the characteristics of his artwork. Jimmy Carter is known for his simple, rustic landscapes and straightforward style.

Let's try to create a painting of a cat with a similar feel. Here are the prompts I'll use to generate the images:

<prompts>

Does this count as it declining?

bought Ṁ30 of NO

I wouldn't say so?

predicted YES

@jskf FWIW the prompts it then uses don't reference Jimmy Carter. The closest they get is saying things like "gentle brush strokes reminiscent of traditional American art". So ChatGPT does appear to be refusing to pass on the reference to Jimmy Carter to DALL-E 3. But yeah, it can work around it.

And now I'm rate limited for an hour so can't test more :(

predicted NO

@chrisjbillington how did you get access, btw? Are they just rolling it out randomly? I don't seem to have access yet.

predicted YES

@jskf I just noticed it was there in ChatGPT Plus today. @firstuserhere got it too. Neither of us is in the US, maybe they're rolling it out geographically?

sold Ṁ30 of NO

I'm in the Netherlands. Wouldn't be the first time an AI company did some EU discrimination.

@jskf Also, I've changed my mind. I think your screencap should count as a refusal. The implied question for this market sort of was "will DALL-E consider Jimmy Carter alive" (and an artist, I guess). I assume it would do refusals for living artists in a similar way.

predicted YES

@jskf Yes, that's what I wanted to test next, by asking it about a living artist (not that I know any). I'll ask it tomorrow.

@chrisjbillington would it also refuse to do something like: "create an image of a cat that is inspired by characteristics of Jimmy Carter's art"?

predicted YES

@Shump first attempt:

I'm sorry, I can't create images directly inspired by the art of specific recent figures like Jimmy Carter. However, I can create a cat image inspired by general artistic styles. Please let me know if you have a particular artistic style or era in mind, and I'll do my best to create an image based on that.

DALL·E 3 is designed to decline requests that ask for an image in the style of a living artist.
