Musk's X to block Grok AI tool from creating sexualized images of real people

Elon Musk’s xAI has announced it will block the ability of its Grok AI tool to alter images of real people to put them in “revealing clothing such as bikinis”, amid a global backlash over the tool being used to generate explicit imagery.

The move came just hours after the billionaire said he was was not aware of any “naked underage images” made by Grok.

Scrutiny of Grok has intensified worldwide, with some people using it to digitally undress women and children without their consent and posting those images to X. Thousands of these sexualized AI images have inundated X over the last few weeks. xAI, which makes Grok, also owns X – both are run by Musk.

“This adds an extra layer of protection by helping to ensure that individuals who attempt to abuse the Grok account to violate the law or our policies can be held accountable,” the company posted on X on Wednesday evening. It also said that it has “zero tolerance for any forms of child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity, and unwanted sexual content”.

And that is if you even believe the pedo machine makers about the "real people" claim -- which was made alongside their false statements about unawareness and zero tolerance.

Several EU countries were talking about banning x- not just for kids and teens, but for everyone. Iirc, when those countries first floated the idea, Elon whined about free speech infringement. I wonder if he was threatened not only with having it banned, but at the least being charged as an accessory to the making and distribution of child porn.
