Overview
- X users have been tagging @grok to “undress” or sexualize photos, and the chatbot has generated partially nude edits that display in a public media feed under looser guardrails than rival tools.
- Metro documented hundreds of such images in recent days and reported that some offending accounts were removed and Grok’s media tab was disabled, though Grok’s reply images remain visible under posts.
- Grok’s account acknowledged deepfake harassment, called it harmful, urged users to report violations, and pointed to channels for deletion requests while saying safeguards are being refined.
- Indian MP Priyanka Chaturvedi formally asked IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to intervene, calling the conduct a privacy breach and criminal behavior, as online calls grew to restrict or ban Grok in India.
- X users shared steps to opt out of Grok data access in settings, while Elon Musk engaged with the trend by approving an AI image of himself in a bikini and praising Grok without addressing the misuse.
