Censorship? Let's not get overly dramatic. If Apple were somehow "censoring" flags (what on earth would be the point of that?), how could I create a picture of a flag using Playground? The picture I posted was made in Playground. Here's a similar one I just made of a Canadian flag:



I screen shot is so that you can see it really was made in Playground.


I would also note that Playground is still considered beta software. You might want to let Apple know what you're seeing:

Doesn’t work under Apple INT. Only works under ChatGPT. Hence my suggestion some kind of censorship is happening.

So why would Apple allow it to work at all if it was "some kind of censorship?"

The error message indicates Apple doesn’t like the prompt. 🤷‍♂️

The error message I see is "Try describing something different to create an image." I get the same message if I suggest "car engine." Is Apple also trying to censor information on internal combustion?


Submit feedback to Apple.
