While Grok has introduced belated safeguards to prevent sexualised AI imagery, other tools have far fewer limits
“Since discovering Grok AI, regular porn doesn’t do it for me anymore, it just sounds absurd now,” one enthusiast for the Elon Musk-owned AI chatbot wrote on Reddit. Another agreed: “If I want a really specific person, yes.”
If those who have been horrified by the distribution of sexualised imagery on Grok hoped that last week’s belated safeguards could put the genie back in the bottle, there are many such posts on Reddit and elsewhere that tell a different story.
And while Grok has undoubtedly transformed public understanding of the power of artificial intelligence, it has also pointed to a much wider problem: the growing availability of tools, and means of distribution, that present worldwide regulators with what many view as an impossible task. Even as the UK announces that creating nonconsensual sexual and intimate images will soon be a criminal offence, experts say that the use of AI to harm women has only just begun.
It baffles me how you fail to connect rendering a victim unconscious to be manipulated as the perpetrator sees fit with an expression of power
You additionally fail to connect hostility toward women to anger rapes and continue to insist it is actually sexual gratification at the root of the issue
Best of luck
I supposed I shouldn’t have expected you to actually read what I wrote. Curse my unbridled optimism.
I don’t have time to respond properly, but see that this thread has differing definitions of terms like power and gratification. Yes, those two blur together when looked at in a certain way, but you are asking for academic rigour without applying it yourself. Terms need definitions. People think you are conflating gratification with power blithely.
