AI tool faces growing global scrutiny over the spread of nonconsensual sexual images of women and minors on X

Elon Musk said on Wednesday he was not aware of any “naked underage images” generated by xAI’s Grok, as scrutiny of the AI tool intensifies worldwide.

“I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,” Musk said in an X post. Musk’s comment comes as xAI and X face growing global scrutiny, including calls by lawmakers and advocacy groups for Apple and Google to drop Grok from app stores, an investigation by UK regulators, and bans or legal action in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

Last week, X curtailed Grok’s ability to generate or edit images publicly for many users, however industry experts and watchdogs have said that Grok was still able to produce sexually explicit images, and that restrictions, such as paywalling certain features, may not fully block access to deeper AI image tools.

    Ah yes, the ol’ “i did not have sexual relations” excuse.

    “I not [sic] aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,”

    The accusation is about scantily-clad, underclothed image generation of real minors, not full on nudity, which is still CSAM in most laws’ eyes, something he conveniently skirts.

      It’s more than I didn’t have sexual relations. It’s I don’t know where I don’t remember. The get out of jail free card for politicians in rich people alike.

      Look at how often Mike Johnson just says he doesn’t know what’s going on.

    Charging money for revenge porn didn’t work as a “restriction”? Demanding people paying to access CSAM didn’t “fully block” it?

    Whoever at Reuters allowed that sentence to form is just cooked.

    When it became news you could AI CSAM, I’m pretty sure his response was… to post an AI picture of himself in a bikini?

    I would love to meet the single person who he has convinced by this

    I don’t buy it and here’s why.

    Is he getting updates about his company from Yes men? Absolutely. I believe all of the executives at his companies inflate his ego because he’s the “Elon Musk”. But if you read any news and see Twitter mentioned, it’s been about this topic since they started this feature of his misinformation machine.

      He bought successful companies and fucked them over.

      Every company that has remained successful after he got involved did so by keeping him the fuck away.

      So no. He’s not a successful businessman, he’s not an engineer either.

      He’s a venture capitalist, and not even a very good one.

          He is SO amazing. The average CEO spends 60 hours a week on their business. He is CEO of Telsa, SpaceX, and X Corp. That is only 180 hours a week. But don’t forget he is on the board or holds some high positions in at least 4 other business. Let’s say he spends 20 hours a week on each of those. We are up to 260 hours a week now.

          Elon also has 14 children who he loves and cares about. He spends a minimum of ten hours a week with each of his kids so that is only 140 more hours a week. We are up to 500 hours per week, but wait there is more.

          Elon is constantly making the sickest memes and posts on X. He spends a lot of his free time doing this for fun, but it is also about upholding his amazing image. He spends forty hours a week making memes and posting/responding on Zombie Twitter.

          Elon is also an avid computer gamer and spends at least 20 hours a week kicking back smoking weed and just playing computer games for the fun of it. Don’t forget he also loves his Ketamine. He also spends at least another 20 in a khole every week. We are at 580 hours a week.

          We haven’t even gotten into the amazing marketing, engineering, and programming whiz he is. He spends countless hours on these activities, troubleshooting code, doing advanced calculations, and coming up with the best marketing plans for his companies. He spends another 80 hours per week on these.

          We are up to 660 hours per week but we haven’t even talked about his romantic side. He spends another 40 hours a week pursuing/trying to fuck his female employees. He is a lover and not a fighter so we are up to 700 hours per week now.

          He accomplishes almost half a years work every week. Compare that to yourself. How much do YOU get done in a week!? Do you waste a half of it sleeping, eating, and going to the restroom. If only we all were so productive.

                Doesn’t matter. He needs to ensure plebs get the work done. He doesn’t have to “work”  per se

                  That is where you are wrong, he is the hardest working man in history. I suppose you are just overwhelmed by his magnitude and your lack of equivalent achievements.

                  He may have accomplished more in a year than your entire lifetime. It is humbling really. A true testament to the meritocracy of capitalism.
