Jess Davies and Daisy Dixon describe the emotional toll of AI-generated sexual images shared without consent on X.

The Grok chatbot, park of billionaire Elon Musk's X platform, is facing backlash for creating an AI image depicting two young girls in a sexual manner.

Elon Musk's startup xAI has restricted the image generation function on its Grok chatbot on social media platform X to ​paid subscribers, after the tool's use of AI to create sexualized ‌images sparked a widespread backlash.

Elon Musk-owned X has submitted a detailed compliance report to MeitY, revealing the removal of 600 accounts and 3,500 pieces of objectionable content generated via its AI chatbot, Grok.

New Delhi, Jan 11 (PTI) Microblogging platform X admitted its mistake and removed about 3,500 pieces of content, as well as deleted over 600 accounts, after the IT Ministry raised concerns over obscene content linked to Elon Musk-backed AI chatbot Grok, government sources said on Sunday.

It comes after regulator Ofcom said it contacted X after reports that users have prompted the tool to generate sexualised images of people.

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

The Grok chatbot's ability to generate sexualized images of children is coming under investigation around the world.
