The day is barely started and already Grok has put the Minnesota shooting victim in a bikini, put a very pre-teen girl in a thong, and bared the breasts of a dead teenage girl. As for the owner, Musk has posted about white men being slaughtered because minorities are "1000x" more hostile and cruel.
Supposedly her account has been demonetized and her verification has been removed after spoke up about the deepfakes from Grok. I am looking for verification on those things. Elon Musk ex Ashley St. Clair says she’s considering legal action after xAI produced fake sexualized images of her Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has been accused of generating non-consensual sexualized images of real people, including children. Over the past week, X has been flooded with manipulated photos that remove people’s clothes, dress them in bikinis, or rearrange them into sexually suggestive positions. The nonconsensual images have left some women feeling violated. Meanwhile, their creation using Grok and their presence on X may land Musk’s company in significant legal trouble in several countries around the world. Ashley St. Clair, a conservative political commentator, social media influencer, and mother of one of Musk’s children (Musk has questioned his paternity), said that she became a victim of Grok’s “undressing” spree in recent days. Fortune has reviewed several examples of the images created on X, including fake images of St. Clair. “When I saw [the images], I immediately replied and tagged Grok and said I don’t consent to this,” St. Clair told Fortune in an interview on Monday. “[Grok] noted that I don’t consent to these images being produced…and then it continued producing the images, and they only got more explicit.” “There were pictures of me with nothing covering me except a piece of floss with my toddler’s backpack in the background and photos of me where it looks like I’m not wearing a top at all,” she said. “I felt so disgusted and violated. I also felt so angry that there were other women and children that this had been happening to.” St. Clair told Fortune that after speaking out publicly about the situation she had been contacted by multiple other women who had had similar experiences, that she had reviewed inappropriate images of minors created by Grok, and was considering legal action over the images. Representatives for X did not immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment. In a post on X, Musk said: “Anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content.” X’s official “Safety” account said in a post Saturday that “We take action against illegal content on X, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary,” and included links to its policy and help pages. ---More at the Link---
How many people can both pay for and master Photoshop well enough to put out a convincing fake? Much easier to type in, "Grok, make Susie naked."
Photoshop was easy to pirate. The point being is that precedent is already set for this. While you're only busy trying to find dirt on certain people you don't like, you're completely unprepared for when china releases unrestricted open source AI models.
Musk says X outcry is 'excuse for censorship' Elon Musk has said critics of his social media site X are looking for "any excuse for censorship", after its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok drew criticism over its use to create sexualised images of people without their knowledge or consent. Ofcom says it is conducting an urgent assessment of X in response, with the backing of Technology Secretary Liz Kendall. But the chairwomen of Parliament's technology and media committees have both said they are concerned that "gaps" in the Online Safety Act might hinder the media regulator's ability to deal with the matter. X has now limited the use of AI image function to those who pay a monthly fee, a change dubbed by Downing Street as "insulting" to victims of sexual violence. The BBC has seen several examples of the free AI tool undressing women and putting them in sexual situations without their consent. Kendall said on Friday that she expects an update from Ofcom within days, and that it would have the government's full support should it decide to block X in the UK. Musk reposted a number of messages on the site overnight criticising the government's reproval of Grok - including one which showed AI-generated images of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in a bikini. "They just want to suppress free speech," Musk wrote. Ashley St Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk's children, told BBC Newshour on Friday that Grok had generated sexualised photos of her as a child. The conservative influencer said her image had been "stripped" to appear "basically nude, bent over", despite her telling Grok that she did not consent to the sexualised images. St Clair, who filed a lawsuit against Musk in 2025 seeking sole custody of their child, accused the social media site of "not taking enough action" to tackle illegal content, including child sexual abuse imagery. "This could be stopped with a singular message to an engineer," she said. As of Friday morning, Grok was telling users asking it to alter images uploaded to X that "image generation and editing are currently limited to paying subscribers", adding users "can subscribe to unlock these features". An Ofcom spokesperson said on Friday: "We urgently made contact [with X] on Monday and set a firm deadline of today to explain themselves, to which we have received a response. "We're now undertaking an expedited assessment as a matter of urgency and will provide further updates shortly." Ofcom's powers under the Online Safety Act include being able to seek a court order to prevent third parties from helping X raise money or be accessed in the UK - should the firm refuse to comply. But Dame Chi Onwurah, chairwoman of the innovation and technology committee, said she was "concerned and confused" about how the matter is "actually being addressed", and has written to Ofcom and Kendall for clarification. Dame Chi said it was "unclear" under the Online Safety Act whether the creation of such images using AI was illegal, as was the responsibility of social media sites for what was shared on their platforms. "The act should really make something so harmful to so many people clearly illegal, and X's responsibility should be clear," she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Caroline Dinenage, chairwoman of the culture, media and sport committee, likewise said she had a "real fear that there is a gap in the regulation". "There are doubts as to whether the Online Safety Act actually has the power to regulate functionality - that means generative AI's ability to nudify someone's image," she told BBC Breakfast. The use of Grok to generate non-consensual sexualised images has been condemned by politicians on all sides: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called it "disgraceful" and "disgusting" Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said it was "horrible in every way" and that X "needs to go further" than the changes it had made to Grok on Friday, but he added that banning the platform would be an attack on free speech The Liberal Democrats called for access to X to be temporarily restricted in the UK while the social media site was investigated. Elsewhere, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he agreed with Starmer that the material was "completely abhorrent". "It, once again, is an example of social media not showing social responsibility," Albanese said, adding that Australia's digital safety commissioner was looking at the situation. "Australians and indeed, global citizens deserve better." Meanwhile, Grok was temporarily suspended in Indonesia on Saturday. The country's digital minister said "non-consensual sexual deepfakes [were] a serious violation of human rights, dignity and the security of citizens in the digital space".
