Censorship / opinions

Important: This will be the second of 3 parts in which this article is divided to focus on hearing opinions from other digital artists not as a census, but as a different perspective.

Additionally, I would like to thank all those creators who gave their opinion or commented their point of view on this topic.

Censorship is an important part of this era.

Well, I would rather say that it is something extremely common in the content that we see every day. Although I am not referring specifically to sexual content, it seems to be the most problematic in terms of consequences.

While censorship today covers many topics, I'm definitely not going to get involved in that kind of controversy and much less give my opinion on what is right or wrong.

But if one thing is certain it is that we could all walk together on the same path and yet there is no chance that we would even have similar opinions about the route.

However, although Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Imagine or Dall-E. They do a great job in trying to moderate in a balanced way the content they offer you (although I personally believe that the latter is much stricter in this aspect) there are many more tools, a little more niche, much more permissive and even some totally uncensored.

Therefore, those who aim for explicit content will find a way to get the result they are looking for, although it should be mentioned that none of these alternatives have the level of polish that is found in the major engines.

Some feel that censorship is undoubtedly an obstacle that considerably limits the scope of what you can develop with the support of AI engines;

-mostly limited to a severe restriction with respect to eroticism and the use of sensuality-.

Others see censorship as a necessary limit to contain and regulate what can be created in conjunction with artificial intelligences.

-If there were no censorship, the amount of adult content would be even more abundant, including graphic sexual content-.

There is still the final part of this article in which I will consider all the comments for and against the use of censorship in the digital art world, for the moment I will continue to ask and listen to digital creators to have an opinion taking into account as many different arguments as possible.

I will see you next time
