The implementation as it stands is actually easier the way they do it. They replace the image by scaling Rick to the image size. That means that they can still automatically put your output images in a grid without any extra code. They could have zeroed the pixels, but that could have led to confusion about if things were working or not.

It's silly and you're able to patch it out if you so desire. But most importantly, they released the model to everyone so it's way more open than OpenAI's DALL-E 2 (for better or worse). I don't think the argument that they're trying to control you really makes a lot of sense given how widely accessible this model is.

Absolutely. The limit isn't in what you ask for, it's in what's returned. The whole point is to try and stop the user being shown nsfw images despite sfw prompts, and since you can generate multiple results per prompt adding an interactive check on each one doesn't make sense.
