Overview
- AFT President Randi Weingarten said the spread of nonconsensual, sexualized images generated by Grok made the site unusable.
- Beginning Wednesday, the union’s account and Weingarten’s account will go silent, with roughly 75,000 and 100,000 followers, respectively.
- X has limited Grok from posting generated or edited images to the public timeline, though the tool still allows users to digitally remove clothing.
- X did not immediately comment on the announcement, and xAI provided a generic response when asked about the decision.
- Malaysia and Indonesia restricted access to Grok, and regulators in Europe and India opened investigations into its image-generation capabilities.
