OpenAI's GPT Image 2, launched April 21, 2026, uses a multimodal classifier to moderate image generation, moving away from simple keyword blocking. This system evaluates facial features, style, and prompt context simultaneously across three stages to prevent harmful deepfakes and misuse of real people's likenesses. While OpenAI claims high accuracy, the system's effectiveness is based on their own benchmarks. The approach means that prompt effectiveness can vary based on the input photo, and simply avoiding certain words is not a guaranteed way to bypass moderation. AI
IMPACT Shifts prompt engineering focus from keyword avoidance to understanding multimodal context for image generation.
