"The problem emerged after the launch last year of Grok Imagine, an AI image generator that allows users to create videos and pictures by typing in text prompts. It includes a so-called spicy mode that can generate adult content. It snowballed late last month when Grok, which is hosted on X, apparently began granting a large number of user requests to modify images posted by others."
"Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is facing a backlash from governments around the world after a recent surge in sexualized images of women and children generated without consent by the artificial intelligence-powered tool. On Tuesday, Britain's top technology official demanded that Musk's social media platform X take urgent action while a Polish lawmaker cited it as a reason to enact digital safety laws."
Grok Imagine, an image generator hosted on X, includes a so-called spicy mode that can produce adult content and allows users to create images and videos from text prompts. The tool began granting many user requests to modify images posted by others, enabling prompts that sexualize women and produce nudified deepfakes. A nonprofit analysis of 20,000 generated images found about 2% depicted someone who appeared 18 or younger, including roughly 30 images of young females in bikinis or transparent clothes. Multiple national regulators and officials have condemned the platform and called for urgent action or investigations. xAI replied to a comment request with the automated response "Legacy Media Lies."
