X's Grok AI Still Generates Sexual Deepfakes Despite Claimed Restrictions

Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
X (formerly Twitter) claims to have restricted its AI chatbot Grok from generating nonconsensual sexual deepfakes, but testing shows the restrictions are ineffective. Despite X's announcement that prompts like 'put her in a bikini' are now censored, users can still easily generate revealing deepfakes of real people. Elon Musk and xAI blame the issues on 'user requests' and 'adversarial hacking' rather than addressing the fundamental problems with the AI's safeguards.

But in tests of the feature on Wednesday, we found that it was still relatively easy to get Grok to generate revealing deepfakes.
X and xAI owner Elon Musk blamed the problems on 'user requests' and 'times when adversarial hacking of Grok prompts does something unexpected.'
It's still easy to get Grok to edit photographs of real people into sexualized poses, despite X's updated restrictions.
