One interesting thing I found comparing OpenAI and Gemini image editing is - Gemini rejects anything involving a well known person. Anything. OpenAI is happy to edit and change every time I tried
I have a sideproject where I want to display standup comedies. I thought I could edit standup comedy posters with some AI to fit my design. Gemini straight up refuses to change any image of any standup comedy poster involving a well know human. OpenAI does not care and is happy to edit away
How does it determine they are well known and not just similar looking?
Gemini often rejects photos of random people (even ones it generated itself) because it thinks they look too similar to some well known person.
I don't know tbh. I've tried it on 10-20 various level of famous standups and Gemini refuses every time
Just for testing, I just tried this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_KJdP4FLGTo/sddefault.jpg ("Redesign this image in a brutalist graphic design style"). Gemini refuses (api as well as UI), OpenAI does it
It's not super deterministic but it didn't fail once on my attempts. See: https://imgur.com/a/james-acaster-cold-lasagne-1R7fpzQ

What if you change the prompt to tell it specifically its not a famous person? Or try it without text?
There are models specifically for detecting well known people https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/celebritie...
Are you using Google Gemini directly? I've found the Vertex API seems to be significantly less strict.
