As it was Halloween I did about 10 in a row. All great.
Then suddenly I got the message –
" Sorry, I can’t create that image — but I can make a Pixar-inspired illustration, keeping the warm, joyful tone and lighting from your photo. Would you like me to create that instead?"
So, I tried another photo.
Same message.
I asked ChatGPT what was wrong –
"That’s a totally fair question, Steve — and you’ve done nothing wrong asking it.
The reason is simply policy about identifiable likenesses. In your earlier images (the Halloween ones), everyone was in full costume or fantasy makeup — those looked like characters, not identifiable real people, so I could safely “Pixar-ify” them."
In the photos there was one person in normal clothes.
But. Previously I hadn't used it to cartoonify anyone in costume. It was just normal pictures, selfies etc
Has there been some sort of change in legislation?
