I understand the need for guardrails when it comes to illegal content. However there are plenty of legitimate uses for nudity generation and they are all being blocked by the overzealous safety features.

For context, as a hobby I develop scenarios for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. I've been using Lumo to generate stylized concept art for those campaigns. Sometimes the situation involves nudity. For example there was a scenario when after losing a bet in a tavern the character had to streak from one end of the village to the other without getting caught by the guards.

The image generator absolutely refused to generate that. It used to be able to do it before when I developed scenarios a month ago. Do I have to use another service now? I was very happy with Lumo's performance before. Yes, I am using Lumo plus.

I read the model's thinking output and it's clear that someone at Proton programmed it to refuse all nudity. Yes 100% block illegal content I support that but it's ridiculous that an episode of the Simpsons on network television is allowed to show more nudity than a premium service that I pay for as an adult.

Has anyone else noticed Lumo getting worse over the last few days/weeks?

I work on a lot of Linux projects and was using Lumo as a conversational research partner. Recently it has been hitting me with generic safety filter text or leading me down rabbit holes and giving me bad syntax which I know is bad.

It's web search seems degraded too. Before Lumo would save me time and provide relevant and accurate links but now it's giving me dead or irrelevant content. I was able to be more productive the last few days without using Lumo just by searching the old fashioned way and using basic search operators.

Is there something changing on the backend with Proton? I'm paying for the premium business tier so I haven't ran into any rate limits if that's even a thing, I wouldn't know, but the apparent downgrade in quality output and image generation is making me question whether or not I need to continue paying for it.

I'm seriously just waiting at this point to see if they integrate Lumo into the rest of their products. I'm preparing to launch a business but this is so bad I may have to look at other options.
