Today something really weird happened that has me scratching my head. Here's how it came about.

Earlier, my husband, Ark, posted a new blog that you can see here: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: The Unsung Path to Innovation

Give the blog post a once-over. Notice the image of Isaac Newton. Ark obtained this image and a second one further down by asking ChatGPT to generate them. But notice, please, that the image of Shakespeare was one he had to obtain from free web sources. It seems that ChatGPT was not able to generate an image of Shakespeare.

 

The Lament of a Digital Bard: Shakespeare Silenced by Woke Censorship (But Not the African Version)

 

Laura Knight-Jadczyk and ChatGPT and Joe Quinn

Ark commented about this odd refusal/restriction of ChatGPT and I decided to test it. The exchange with ChatGPT is as follows:

Me: Generate an image of Shakespeare sitting at a desk writing.

GPT: I was unable to generate the image due to a content policy restriction. If you have any other requests or need further assistance, please let me know!

Me: Why is generating an image of Shakespeare against content policy?

GPT: Generating an image of Shakespeare isn't against content policy per se. The issue likely arose from the specifics of the request. Let's try again, ensuring the description complies with the guidelines.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT CENSORSHIP, BUT THE FACT THAT NO REAL CONTEMPORARY PORTRAITS OF SHAKESPEARE EXISTS... 

No contemporary physical description of William Shakespeare is known to exist. The two portraits of him that are the most famous (both of which may be posthumous) are the engraving that appears on the title-page of the First Folio, published in 1623, and the sculpture that adorns his memorial in Stratford upon Avon, which dates from before 1623. Experts and critics have argued that several other paintings from the period may represent him, and more than 60 portraits purporting to be of Shakespeare were offered for sale to the National Portrait Gallery within four decades of its foundation in 1856, but in none of them has Shakespeare's identity been proven.[1]

BY ADDING AN EXTRA "DIMENSION" TO THE SEARCH, THEN THE MACHINE CAN INVENT A FAKE REALITY....
