Future of AI image generators

Listen. I honestly don’t know whether this is just coincidence, a deliberate decision, or simply people overreacting and complaining too much instead of pointing out an obvious problem. Interpret this post however how you like and say whatever you want about it.

But how is it that back in 2024 and even early 2025, AI (even when censored) wasn’t nearly as restricted as it has become since the second half of 2025?

I also don’t know whether there were websites without restrictions back then. There probably were, although mostly for obviously illegal stuff, which is understandable. But today?

Look at the image. Tensor Art is one of those platforms where the censorship has become downright absurd. The only prompts that were accepted were bikini-related ones. There wasn’t even anything extremely adult content in those prompts. I already posted on this subreddit about that website before, but now the situation has become a complete circus.

To make things worse, when users on their Discord server started pointing out and complaining about the changes, the admins began banning people from the server. Even for reacting to announcements with things like thumbs-down emojis or angry reactions.

And Tensor art isn’t the only problem. Civitai also shot itself in the foot with the whole Buzz changes situation, and lately Grok has been going through such a massive lobotomy, that it’s losing what made it special in the first place.

Speaking of Grok. I honestly have no idea what got into Musk’s head. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that whenever something happens, money is usually involved. At least probably. But how do creators make such illogical decisions out of greed? They remove models, add heavier restrictions, increase filtering, and block prompts that honestly aren’t even that extreme and should be allowed in the first place.

I’m writing this post because not everyone is happy with the current state of AI. Not everyone even wants to generate adult content, but everyone should have the right to generate what they want.

Restrictions? They shouldn’t be this excessive. But what’s happening in reality? The restrictions are becoming so extreme that these websites are barely usable anymore.

Devs. Ask yourselves this. Do you want to create platforms for adults, or for kids? This may not be some world-ending problem, but there will always be people frustrated by it, and they have every right not to like it.

Maybe someday a genuinely good alternative will appear. But for now, that’s just wishful thinking. At the moment, things are becoming so ridiculous that you don’t even know whether to laugh, cry, or just get angry.

That’s all I wanted to say.
