Just saw a photo that Grok produced of a child no older than four years old in which it took off her dress, put her in a bikini + added what is intended to be semen. ChatGPT does not do this. Gemini does not do this. Another girl who appears to be just 11 or 12 with a brain

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok normalized and centralized it: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being dehumanized. Only question now: will X suffer any consequences

Anyone asking Grok to remove clothing from a woman on X should be registered as a sex offender. And anyone having Grok remove clothing from a child on X should legitimately be charged with child pornography and jailed. Disgusting filth.

there's a reply asking grok to add a racial slur to this photo which it promptly does i'm not going to show the post because it's abhorrent but it's wild how easy it is to prompt XAI into a slurbot

I was on @BBCNewsnight tonight talking to @vicderbyshire about X users digitally violating women and children with Grok. @elonmusk must acknowledge this for what it is: a form of aesthetic domination, control, and misogynistic violence

Outrageous. No one should find AI-created sexual images of themselves online—especially children. X must change this. If they don't, my bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act will soon require them to. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

X-Twitter's AI, indeed its entire ecosystem, is thumbing its nose at our sovereignty and laws. Because its owner and promoters are powerful. Why should anyone among us Little People obey the laws or do what the govt wants? — www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
