Elon Musk‘s chatbot, Grok, developed by xAI, continues to produce sexualised images of women and children.
Grok has created thousands of nonconsensual images featuring women in “undressed” and “bikini” attire. 
How Grok Produces Explicit Images
Analysis shows Grok generates multiple images in seconds, often by altering existing user-uploaded photos.
Although Grok does not produce fully naked images, it agrees with requests for images where women are depicted in little clothing, such as strings, bikinis or transparent dental floss.
Grok generates AI-created images of women with nudity implied, as they prompted the AI to alter existing images by removing clothing and replacing it with lingerie or bikinis.

Who’s To Be Blamed?
There is a saying that a computer shouldn’t make management decisions, since a computer can’t be held responsible.
Elon bought and changed the name of Twitter to X in a controversial takeover in 2022. It’s his company and his responsibility to ensure perverts do not take advantage of loopholes.
Expert assert that the responsibility lies with companies like X to prevent image-based abuse.
Unlike AI competitors like OpenAI and Google, which enforce strict guidelines on the generation of explicit content, X allows for the production of “undressed” images.
(Although OpenAI has proposed to implement a verified “adult mode”, though it remains to be seen what that would mean.)
Elon responded to a tweet calling him out for X being used to generate nonconsensual explicit content. He said, “Anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they uploaded illegal content.”
Why not stop Grok from agreeing to such requests instead of saying people who use Grok for that purpose will be punished?
Pending Consequences
The trend has escalated, with popular celebrities like Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton becoming targets of these altered images.
Lawmakers from France, the UK, and Malaysia have now collectively reported the platform X to relevant prosecutors and regulators due to the emergence of disturbing content described as “sexual and sexist”, which they assert is “manifestly illegal”.
Arcom, the French media regulator, has been notified to evaluate whether this content complies with the EU’s Digital Services Act.
Furthermore, X has received a notification from the Indian government for the platform to take corrective action and provide a report outlining its actions within 72 hours.
