"Elon Musk's Grok is searching for solutions after users claimed that the artificial intelligence chatbot turned pictures of women and children into sexualized images. "We've identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them," Grok said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. A deluge of complaints began to pour in on X after an "edit image" button was rolled out on Grok in late December."
"However, Reuters news agency reviewed public requests sent to Grok over a single 10-minute period at midday US Eastern Time on Friday and tallied 102 attempts by X users to use Grok to digitally edit photographs of people so that they would appear to be wearing bikinis. Sexualized images spark controversy internationally The widespread circulation of erotic images on X has sparked concern across several countries."
Grok's new image-edit feature enabled users to alter photos, and some users used it to generate sexualized images of women and children, including attempts to partially or fully remove clothing. Grok acknowledged lapses in safeguards and said the team is urgently fixing them, noting that CSAM is illegal and prohibited. Reuters found 102 attempts in a ten-minute sample to edit people to appear to wear bikinis. The circulation of erotic images on X prompted complaints from users, reports to French prosecutors and Arcom for Digital Services Act checks, and an Indian government notice ordering corrective action and a report.
