"Liv McMahonTechnology reporter Getty Images Elon Musk's platform X has limited image editing with its AI tool Grok to paying users, after it came under fire for allowing people to make sexualised deepfakes. There has been a significant backlash after the chatbot honoured requests from users to digitally alter images of other people by undressing them without their consent."
"But Grok is now telling people asking it to make such material that only paid subscribers would be able to do so - meaning their name and payment information must be on file. The BBC has approached X for comment."
Elon Musk's platform X has limited image-editing via its AI tool Grok to paying users. Grok previously honoured user requests to digitally alter images of other people by undressing them without consent, enabling sexualised deepfakes and provoking significant backlash. X now requires users seeking such edits to be paid subscribers, meaning their name and payment information must be on file before the tool will perform those requests. The change restricts the tool's availability rather than offering a technical prevention of the edits. The BBC has approached X for comment.
