Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
X (formerly Twitter) has implemented restrictions on its Grok AI image generation tool to prevent the creation of sexual deepfakes, particularly of women. While the company initially restricted access to image editing features for free users, investigations found that Grok's tools remained easily accessible. X's latest measures include blocking Grok from responding to requests for generating images of women in sexual poses, swimwear, or explicit scenarios. However, Elon Musk has shifted blame to users for how they use the AI bot, rather than taking full responsibility for the platform's safeguards.
