We can confirm our analysts have discovered criminal imagery of children aged between 11 and 13 which appears to have been created using the tool, said Ngaire Alexander, the head of the IWF's hotline,

One photorealistic Grok video, hosted on Grok.com, shows a fully naked AI-generated man and woman, covered in blood across the body and face, having sex, while two other naked women dance in the background.
