Elon Musk’s xAI launches Grok Imagine with “spicy” AI image generation mode
xAI has rolled out Grok Imagine, a new AI-powered image and video generation tool featuring an optional “spicy” mode, which can produce suggestive and nude content. Troublingly, the system lacks safeguards against generating likenesses of real individuals, enabling the non-consensual creation of explicit deepfakes of public figures. The launch has provoked widespread criticism amid increasing global pressure for ethical AI deployment and online safety protections.
This move highlights urgent gaps in AI content moderation and raises major concerns around consent, privacy, and abuse in generative technologies.
