Just hanging with my posse
The weather’s been fantastic lately. I’m out here first I’m up and I stay until it gets chilly, hanging with my chooks. We saw another fox today.
That’s not the story I wanted to post, though. I want to post this story:
A pensioner has been arrested after a report of indecent exposure in a street. A man, described as wearing a T-shirt and red mankini, was reported as acting indecently outside an address in Aberdale Road, Polegate, on June 19 at around 2.20pm. A 73-year-old man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of exposure and has been bailed while an investigation is ongoing.
So I asked ChatGPT to illustrate it, and it got all through making the illustration and then said, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that, Hal.” or rather:
We’re so sorry, but the image we created may violate our guardrails around nudity, sexuality, or erotic content. If you think we got it wrong, please retry or edit your prompt.
It’s so funny to me that it goes to all the trouble to create the image and then, just before the reveal, steps back and goes, “oh, no – we can’t show THAT.” I’d love to see the gallery of rejected images.

Many years ago when the world was [supposed to be] young and innocent, an old man opened his raincoat and flashed my (then) girlfriend. She said that he looked so silly and pathetic, naked under coat, she burst out laughing.

I’m just going to wild guess here.
But on reflection I think you don’t want to see the rejected images.
O.o

Not me. Some of them might be fun, but lots of them would be profoundly disgusting and invoke thoughts of real-world horrors.

I know a place where you can do that for free… if you don’t mind just one distorted low res image.
