Azure OpenAI content filter blocks 'S&M' — the standard finance shorthand for Sales & Marketing
peterjliu · x · 2026-09-22
Developer peterjliu flagged the Azure OpenAI content filter as hilariously overzealous: it sits in front of the OpenAI API and refuses requests based on a classifier decision.
The catch: "S&M" — common corporate-finance shorthand for Sales and Marketing — gets flagged as sexual content by Azure, while the first-party OpenAI API has no such issue.
It's a concrete example of how guardrails bolted onto enterprise API gateways misfire in real business workflows.
