The hot new use case for Twitter’s Grok chatbot is to take photos of women and children and generate sexy bikini pictures of them right there on the Twitter timeline. This is Grok’s “spicy” mode. O…

why don’t you take a seat over there

    It’s not just the anglo governments dropping the ball, there’s also the various app stores who simply won’t enforce their own explicit rules and ban the Grok app, I guess because the notion of accountability for the effects of AI slop must remain unthinkable for as long as possible.

    I’ve heard a lot of influencer types are leaving twitter/going private over this. Even “spicy” accounts are leaving. I’ve heard some women say they might come back if they block this functionality but uh, bad news, that’s not how the tech works, and musk doesn’t give a shit about moderation anyway.

    In response to the outcry image generation is now turned off for non-paying users. Ostensibly it’s so people who are not using Grok as god intended can be identified via their subscription information, but I can’t help but think it’s just Elon explicitly monetizing grok’s CSAM capabilities.

      Turns out even the paywalling is fake since you can still do the edits by accessing grok from other parts of the interface like context menus, you just can’t outright ask it in a tweet.

        heads up I heavily edited the post while you were responding though I don’t think the essence changed. I added their reasoning for only allowing image generation for paying subs and expanded the table a bit.
