How do you filter the output of a generative AI like this?

More options is better. I think it's possible for a niche to exist for AI creative tools like this.

Looks really cool, but unfortunately I can not use it because thermal printing paper is coated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals like Bisphenol-A (BPA) or its substitute, Bisphenol-S (BPS), which can be absorbed through skin contact, potentially leading to metabolic, reproductive, or cancerous issues. It’s basically a very fine plastic dust. Though risk depends on exposure duration and amount, it’s not something I…

I can't find the CPC certificate for this product. Children's toys are heavily regulated in the US and based on the thermal paper, the lack of display of their authorization to sell, the fly by night nature of a drop shipping website like this ...

I don't think this is a legal product to market towards children in the US

and that's without even mentioning the LLM usage

real glad my nibblings all got real art supplies when they were little. that fosters real creativity and the lot of them can draw better than any of the examples on the sales page, and they're still little kids. and there's no subscription, no EULA, their supplies are legal and safe to use, etc.

This product is actual trash

I’m sure they just dump the image into another LLM to gauge “safety” and pretend it’s good enough.

Cynically, my guess is it's just through the system prompt.

This is the best answer.

Although cool, I can see how this product will just inhibit instead of enabling creativity and play in kids. Instead of having to draw something to see it, refining the drawing over minutes or hours, the kid will just lazily ask for some half formed idea, and see it materialize from thin air. That's just sad
