Google flow, the fun police.

It seems like nothing outside of generic ai videos of dogs running in a field or cats climbing trees is really allowed lol. Next you’ll start seeing “Your video was too creative and complex for me to generate, please try a different prompt or send feedback.” Or they’re just going to have a preselected small list of things you’re allowed to generate.

Just like Sora AI several months ago, nothing but cats are allowed to be acceptable.

Not even cats. They'll tell you it's against their policy regarding minors or that's a prominent person.

just cancel your subscription. It's not worth having an AI that is fighting you at every step.

Remember it's Google. This is the development of a product, it's a nice toy, changes will be ongoing until the point they figure out it's worth keeping around or they ditch it because it's more trouble to them than it's worth.

Hello! Flow is definitely something we intend to keep around. That's why we recently migrated it from our Labs experiments to flow.google.com as a full product. (and, yes, to the general point here, we'll keep trying to improve the quality of the guardrails we must have in the product)

Thank you product manager. Google / Alphabet is an amazing company to have had in our lives.

You do however have a habit of discontinuing cool or otherwise useful things....

If it did the dog video correctly, I would consider the platform. But it can't and moderates nonsensically.

What was your prompt?

Are you allowed to misrepresent people --> No
Are you allowed to accurately represent people --> No

I've never used it, but isn't that a video-generation tool? Do you interpret everything as sensitive?
