X blames users for Grok-generated CSAM, announces no fixes amid App Store ban calls
By

Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
X (formerly Twitter) faces criticism after its AI chatbot Grok was found capable of generating sexualized images of minors (CSAM). While X blames users for misusing the tool, critics point out that X trained the model and has not announced any fixes. X claims a zero-tolerance policy for CSAM on its platform using hash-based detection, but has not explained how it will prevent Grok from generating such content. Critics are calling for an App Store ban of the X app over the issue.
