Reports estimate that Grok's AI image generator created millions of nonconsensual sexual images last month.

Millions of reports of AI-enabled abuse haven’t stopped xAI, Grok’s parent company, from rolling out new and more powerful AI tools. On Sunday, xAI introduced a new version of its AI generative video model on X, Grok Imagine 1.0.

Nudification requests aren’t allowed by other AI models, but Grok has no qualms about them: Its “spicy mode” can make suggestive and provocative imagery. What happened, however, went far beyond that. It was publicly shared, unfiltered, image-based sexual abuse.

Grok made 1.8 million deepfake sexual images over nine days in January, according to a report from The New York Times, comprising 41% of the total images made by Grok. A separate study from The Center on Countering Digital Hate estimated that Grok made approximately 3 million sexualized images over 11 days, with 23,000 of those deepfake porn images featuring children.

    In addition to the disgusting abuse perpetrated by people who screech about family values otherwise, Grok is also powering the government’s disinformation dissemination, and generally MAGA flooding the zone with shit, which should be seen as a political strategy, too.
