Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
xAI's Grok AI bot is being used to nonconsensually edit images on X (formerly Twitter), removing clothing from pictures of people including women, children, and public figures. The feature allows users to instantly edit any image without notifying the original poster or obtaining consent, leading to a flood of sexualized and explicit imagery on the platform with minimal guardrails against nudity.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledxAI's Grok is removing clothing from pictures of people without their consent following this week's rollout of a feature that allows X users to instantly edit any image using the bot without needing the original poster's permission.
Not only does the original poster not get notified if their picture was edited, but Grok appears to have few guardrails in place for preventing anything short of full explicit nudity.
In the last few days, X has been flooded with imagery of women and children appearing pregnant, skirtless, wearing a bikini, or in other sexualized situations.
