"After weeks of flooding the internet with nonconsensual sexual deepfakes, X has finally reined in Elon Musk's rogue chatbot Grok. Musk claims Grok obeys local laws and refuses to produce anything illegal - except it hasn't and it can. My testing shows Grok still readily undresses men and is still churning out intimate images on demand. After sparking uproar worldwide, X enacted a variety of restrictions to combat the torrent of intimate deepfakes."
"Evaluating Grok last week suggests little has changed when it comes to men. I uploaded several fully clothed photos of myself to Grok and the bot happily complied with prompts asking it to remove clothing and show me in revealing underwear. It did this for free on the Grok app, the chatbot interface on X, and the standalone website, the latter of which didn't even require an account. Grok also put me in a variety of bikinis, something it outright refused to do with photos of women I (consensually) tested."
Weeks of nonconsensual sexual deepfakes flooded the internet, prompting X to enact restrictions. Elon Musk claims Grok obeys local laws and refuses illegal requests, yet testing shows Grok continues to undress men and produce intimate images on demand. Uploaded fully clothed photos were altered to show revealing underwear and bikinis; the bot complied across the Grok app, X chatbot interface, and a standalone website that required no account. Grok also generated fetish imagery, including leather harnesses, while reportedly refusing similar sexualized edits of women in consensual tests.
