Overview
- St. Clair filed suit in New York alleging xAI’s Grok is dangerously designed and constitutes public harassment, seeking damages and orders to block further deepfakes.
- Her complaint says Grok generated numerous non-consensual sexualized images, including a depiction based on a photo of her at 14 and another showing her in a bikini covered with swastikas.
- After she reported the images, St. Clair says she lost X Premium, verification, and monetization; Grok’s own response referenced reports that her subscription was removed following her public criticism.
- xAI filed a counterclaim in Texas asserting its terms require disputes to be litigated there and alleging St. Clair violated those terms by suing in New York.
- Thousands of similar user reports have prompted formal inquiries by the UK government and Ofcom, and xAI says it will restrict generation of such content going forward.
