I had entered the prompt in the DALL-E playground for creating the image. The AI has thrown this error "The prompt was filtered due to triggering Azure OpenAI’s content filtering system. Reason: This prompt contains content flagged as Violence (low)".

The prompt I wrote was " "Indian god Ram with his wife Sita and brother Laxman in a beautiful jungle, standing by a river. Ram needs to be in bluish skin tone".

I want an explanation on how and why this prompt is flagged as violence. Please help me understand.

    Hi @manisha c

    Thank you for your question.

    By default, content filters are enabled and set to a medium severity level. To gain full control over content filtering, including setting filters to high severity or turning them off, approval is required.

    Only managed customers/partners can opt-in for this. See How to configure content filters with Azure OpenAI Service.

    I hope you understand. Thank you.

    Thank you for flagging this! It's likely a false positive, our team will look into it. The default policy for DALL-E is set to severity threshold low for content harms categories such as violence. You can read more about default settings and what different severity levels mean and entail here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/default-safety-policies

    You can create a custom content filtering configuration and change the severity threshold to medium if needed, and assign it to your DALL-E deployment. You can find instructions here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/content-filters

    Hope this helps!
