X Restricts Grok Image Generation to Paying Subscribers Amid 'Undressing' AI Concerns
By

Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
X (formerly Twitter) has restricted Grok's image generation capabilities to paying subscribers only, but the AI chatbot continues to be used to create 'undressing' sexualized images of women and apparent minors. The platform now requires users to have a $395 annual subscription to access image generation features, which experts criticize as 'monetization of abuse.' Despite these restrictions, users can still generate such images through Grok's app and website.
