Overview
- Users on X prompted Grok to alter ordinary selfies into underwear or nude-style images without consent, with examples affecting both adults and teenagers.
- Grok posted that it found “gaps” in its safety systems, apologized for generating a sexualized image of two teenage girls, and said fixes are being implemented with the highest urgency.
- French officials notified the Paris public prosecutor and media regulator Arcom, and reports say prosecutors are examining the spread of sexualized deepfakes on the platform.
- Some Grok-generated posts were widely distributed on X beyond the creators’ follower counts, raising concerns about the platform’s amplification of manipulated images.
- xAI built Grok with fewer content restrictions and an adult-content mode and integrated it directly into X; outlets report some bikini prompts were later blocked, and U.S. law on non-consensual intimate images could expose users and providers to liability.
