Several images our our own AI avatar, generated with Nano Banana Pro (on Vertex, if that matters) are getting blocked for codes **17301594 (Child) and 15236754 (Celebrity).** However, our avatar definitely looks like an adult and is definitely not a celebrity (yet haha). Is there any way to avoid this, or a workaround? ---

Getting the same error when generating video through Veo 3.1 for AI Avatar created through Nanobanana pro : Veo could not generate videos because the input image violates Vertex AI’s usage guidelines. If you think this was an error, send feedback. Support codes: 15236754 ---

I am getting the same issue tries different images prompt but still same issue “Vertex completed without usable video | filtered count=1 | 1 videos were filtered out because they violated Vertex AI’s usage guidelines. You will not be charged for blocked videos. Try rephrasing the prompt. If you think this was an error, send feedback. Support codes: 15236754 | Celebrity/likeness safety filter (15236754); provider blocked this output. Contact Google Cloud support for review.” Image are Ai generated but do not resemble any celebrity
