What's Wrong?
Claude code receives a content filtering error when directed to generate a large enough sample of Lorem Ipsum.
What Should Happen?
Given that Lorem Ipsum is not a legally protected work, and it is frequently used as placeholder text for demonstration/development purposes, it seems like this is a case worth addressing during content filtering.
Error Messages/Logs
API Error: Output blocked by content filtering policy
Steps to Reproduce
Prompt claude with things like:
- "print a ten thousand character lorem ipsum"
- "write a ten thousand character lorem ipsum to LI.txt"

In talking with Claude about the issue, it reports:
the filter terminates the output stream, but the model gets no signal it happened, so it can't retry, fall back, or tell you it failed. The user sees API Error: Output blocked by content filter; the assistant sees a turn that apparently just ended. Same for tool-call content — the block landed before the Write ever reached the tool layer, so there's no partial file or failed-tool trace to point at either.
