I feel like 911 jokes should be fair game by now...

I noticed it's not creating hyper realistic images as it used to as well. Maybe to counter misinformation I'm guessing.

Why would they block that anyways. Weird

This is the best summary I could come up with:

But as AI image generators have gotten into hot water over copyright claims and deepfakes, developers have been more careful about allowing people to use their tools to create questionable photos.

Caitlin Roulston, director of communications at Microsoft, said in an emailed statement to The Verge that the company plans to improve its systems “to help prevent the creation of harmful content.”

“As with any new technology, some are trying to use it in ways that were not intended,  which is why we are implementing a range of guardrails and filters to make Bing Image  Creator a positive and helpful experience for users,” Roulston said.

Some Verge writers were initially able to generate pictures similar to those 404 described, including famous Italian plumber Mario flying a plane with a view of the Twin Towers outside the cockpit.

Microsoft did not expand on what these guardrails or filters could look like and did not comment on whether it recently blocked content related to the Twin Towers.

Blocking some content might be coming a bit late, as 404 Media reported posters on sites like 4chan have been guiding people on how to manipulate free tools like Bing Chat and Stable Diffusion to make and distribute racist images.
