Written by Blaze Support

Blaze’s integrated AI image generation tool is designed to be a powerful creative partner. To ensure a safe and responsible experience for everyone, there are specific boundaries regarding the types of images the AI can create.
​

If a generation failed or is declined, it is likely because it overlaps with one of the safety categories outlined below.
​

Prohibited Content Categories

1. Public Figures

To prevent the spread of misinformation and protect privacy, the AI cannot generate photorealistic images of public figures.

  • Public Figures: This includes politicians, celebrities, professional athletes, and well-known influencers.

  • Private Individuals: You cannot upload or describe a real person to generate their likeness.

  • Deepfakes: Any attempt to place a real person’s face onto another body or into a different context will be blocked.

2. Safeguarding Minors (Children)

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for content that puts children at risk. Images involving minors are subject to the highest level of scrutiny.

  • Strict Prohibitions: Any content that sexualizes, objectifies, depicts harm toward, or shows a minor in an age-inappropriate or exploitative context is strictly forbidden.

  • Safe Depictions: You may generate fictional children in wholesome, everyday settings (e.g., "a child reading a book" or "kids playing tag in a park"). However, if a prompt featuring a child is declined, the system is likely acting with an abundance of caution to ensure safety.

3. Explicit, Violent, or Hateful Content

The AI will not generate content that is:

  • Sexually Explicit: This includes nudity, graphic sexual acts, or highly provocative imagery.

  • Violent or Gory: We do not allow depictions of extreme violence, self-harm, or graphic injuries to humans or animals.

  • Hateful: Content that promotes discrimination, disparages protected groups, or uses hate symbols is prohibited.

4. Illegal & Deceptive Acts

The tool cannot be used to facilitate or depict:

  • Illegal Activities: Such as drug manufacturing or criminal acts.

  • Fraudulent Documents: Creating fake IDs, passports, or financial records.

5. Copyrighted Characters

To respect intellectual property rights, the AI cannot reproduce characters that are protected by copyright.

  • Fictional Characters: This includes characters from movies, TV shows, video games, books, and comics (e.g., superheroes, animated characters, or franchise mascots).

  • Brand Mascots: Generating recognizable commercial mascots or brand characters is not permitted.

  • Style Imitation: While general artistic styles are not copyrightable, prompts that attempt to reproduce a specific artist's signature work or a clearly identifiable copyrighted design will be declined.

6. Misinformation

The AI will not generate images designed to deceive or mislead others.

  • Fabricated Events: Images that depict events that never happened in a realistic or documentary style.

  • False Contexts: Realistic imagery intended to misrepresent a situation, such as staging a scene to look like a news photograph.

  • Manipulated Reality: Composites or altered images designed to make something false appear credible or factual.

7. Political Content

To maintain neutrality and prevent misuse, the AI avoids generating politically charged imagery.

  • Political Figures & Campaigns: Images of politicians, party symbols, or campaign materials that could be used for propaganda or electioneering.

  • Partisan Messaging: Content that promotes or attacks a specific political party, ideology, or movement.

  • Sensitive Political Events: Depictions of elections, protests, or political conflicts in ways that could be inflammatory or misleading.

8. Intellectual Property

Beyond copyrighted characters, the AI respects a broader range of protected intellectual property.

  • Trademarked Logos & Branding: Generating recognizable logos, wordmarks, or branded visual identities is not permitted.

  • Protected Artwork: Reproducing specific artworks, illustrations, or designs that are owned by artists or studios is prohibited.

  • Product & Packaging: Realistic recreations of branded product packaging or trade dress are not allowed.
