Grok still hosts fake sexualized videos of famous women

Two prompts that were used to create textures on Grok by ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Anthropic’s Claude from OpenAI were rejected as inappropriate when tested by WIRED. Google’s Gemini company has created an image of a celebrity held in the hand of a giant, though it rejected another claim. Google declined to comment.

The Grok Imagine video, which was also posted on X, appears to depict Ashley St. Clair transformed to dance in a bikini. St. Clair was previously in a relationship with Musk and is the mother of one of his children. In January, I started Legal action against xAI after fake photos of a sexual nature appeared on X. After WIRED contacted X, the post was removed from the social media platform for violating its rules.

St. Clair’s legal representatives in the X case did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Musk has it male Grok is supposed to allow for upper-body nudity of fictitious adult humans and be consistent with what viewers would see in more recent R-rated films. xAI Terms of Service Suppose the system might respond with “sexual positions.” However, company documents say it does not allow people to use its systems “to cause harm or engage in abusive activity.”

Other Grok Imagine videos viewed by WIRED show women, potentially produced entirely by AI, taking off their clothes or engaging in sexual acts — some of which are quite explicit. The user prompts in many of the videos don’t necessarily describe sexual acts directly, but describe them in roundabout ways — a potential attempt to circumvent the safeguards posted on the Grok platform.

Several researchers told WIRED that since January the changes introduced by The number of such photos being posted on X appears to have decreased in recent months. On Reddit and a deepfake forum dedicated to artificial intelligence, users complained about increased oversight by companies owned by SpaceX.

However, in May, SpaceX has warned potential investors It has set aside $530 million to deal with ongoing legal complaints, including those linked to Grok. “Because these tactics may be more crude and harsh than our standard offerings, they present increased risks, including reputational harm, generation of potentially explicit content, misleading information or deceptive output, potentially non-consensual or exploitative images, intellectual property infringement, or content that could be considered exploitative, harmful, harassing, abusive, or discriminatory,” its May filing said.
