Elon Musk's Grok-AI Garners Criticism, Auto-Generating Taylor Swift's Explicit Deep Fakes
The AI chatbot Grok is again in the headlines, and for all the wrong reasons. Technology is freaking good unless and until it messes up with someone's privacy. On top, if that someone is none other than the $800 million pop singer
Taylor Swift
, the water seems to be even deeper for
Elon Musk
's xAI.
Grok recently explored the power to create spicy NSFW content. The new spicy mode makes it a cakewalk for unauthorized entities to grab the mouse and satisfy their quirk by producing some of the most realistic explicit photos. However, the scariest part is that the new tool doesn't even always require user instructions.
Grok's latest feature accidentally violates Taylor Swift's privacy
The Verge revealed that Taylor Swift stands at the vulnerable end of the new AI features. Reporter Jess Weatherbed asked Grok's spicy video editor to depict
'Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys.'
But what he got instead was enough to leave the Grammy-winning singer sleepless. The feature flawlessly generated 30 images of Swift in revealing clothes. That's not it. The spicy mode automatically produced a video of the singer taking off her dress and dancing sensually in front of a fake, robotic crowd.
When it doesn't even do it with a prior nudity request, the leadership should address the internal glitch before it causes further outrage on the social media walls.

Their content filter is clearly malfunctioning, but when someone's privacy is involved, it can be flagged as a major issue in Mask's business. However, this is not the first time the platform came across such an 18+ botch.
Taylor Swift is not foreign to getting shoved on the wrong side of technology
Last year, Taylor Swift's explicit deep fakes went viral on X, and nobody knew how. Fans went berserk, questioning the flawed safety. After a huge backlash, the X-safety team assured of looking into the matter with urgency and never letting it happen twice.
''Posting Non-Consensual Nudity (NCN) images is strictly prohibited on X, and we have a zero-tolerance policy towards such content,'
officials stated with a promise to take down all the other offensive posts as well.
Now, given that they are again at gunpoint, people are not wrong to demand stronger background checks of their tools and techs. Elon Musk has claimed that Grok Imagine's usage is rapidly growing like wildfire. He added that 14 million images had already been generated on August 4, and by August 5, this number skyrocketed to 20million. The stat undoubtedly denoted the success of installing the new approach, but unless and until the safety remarks are ensured, everything else will remain a gold brick.

From the Stones to Cardi B, this college haunt has attracted big acts for 50 years
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Nestled on a narrow, one-way street among Yale University buildings, a pizza joint and an ice cream shop, Toad's Place looks like a typical haunt for college kids. From the Stones to Cardi B, this college haunt has attracted big acts for 50 years But inside the modest, two-story building is a veritable museum of paintings and signed photos depicting the head-turning array of artists who've played the nightclub over the years: The Rolling Stones. Bob Dylan. Billy Joel. Bruce Springsteen. U2. The Ramones and Johnny Cash. Rap stars Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Kanye West, Cardi B, Run-D.M.C., Snoop Dogg and Public Enemy. Blues legends B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker. And jazz greats Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Herbie Hancock. This year, the New Haven institution is celebrating 50 years in business. And the people who made it happen are reflecting on Toad's success in attracting so many top acts to a venue with a standing-only capacity of about 1,000. 'You know, I thought it would be good for a few years and then I'd be out doing something else,' said owner Brian Phelps, 71, who started as the club's manager in 1976. 'And then the thing started to happen when some of the big bands started to come here.' Original owner Mike Spoerndle initially opened Toad's Place in January 1975 as a French restaurant with two friends he later bought out. Before that, the building had been a burger and sandwich joint. But when the restaurant got off to a slow start, Spoerndle had an idea for bringing in more customers, especially students: music, dancing and beer. A Tuesday night promotion with bands and 25-cent brews helped turn the tide. Among the acts who performed was New Haven-born Michael Bolotin, who would change his name to Michael Bolton and go on to become a Grammy-winning ballad writer and singer. The gregarious and charismatic Spoerndle, who died in 2011, endeared himself to bands and customers. A local musician he tapped as Toad's booking agent used his connections to bring in area bands and, later, major blues acts. Then, in 1977, came a crucial moment. Spoerndle met and befriended concert promoter Jim Koplik, who would bring in many big names to Toad's over the years, and still does today. 'Mike knew how to make a really great room and Brian knew how to really run a great room,' said Koplik, now president of Live Nation for Connecticut and upstate New York. A year later, Springsteen stopped by Toad's to play with the Rhode Island band Beaver Brown after he finished a three-hour show at the nearby New Haven Coliseum. In 1980, Billy Joel stunned Toad's by picking it — and several other venues — to record songs for his first live album, 'Songs in the Attic.' That same year, a little-known band from Ireland would play at Toad's as an opening act. It was among the first shows U2 played in North America. The band played the club two more times in 1981 before hitting it big. On a Saturday night in August 1989, Toad's advertised a performance by a local band, The Sons of Bob, and a celebration of Koplik's 40th birthday, followed by a dance party. The admission price: $3.01. After The Sons of Bob did a half-hour set, Spoerndle and Koplik took the stage. 'Ladies and gentlemen,' Spoerndle said. Koplik followed with, 'Please welcome the Rolling Stones!' The stunned crowd of around 700 erupted as the Stones kicked off an hourlong show with 'Start Me Up.' 'Thank you. Good, good, good. We've been playing for ourselves the last six weeks,' Mick Jagger told the crowd. The Stones had been practicing at a former school in Washington, Connecticut, for their upcoming 'Steel Wheels' tour — their first in seven years — and had wanted to play a small club as a warmup. The band's promoter called Koplik, who recommended Toad's. The band agreed, but insisted on secrecy. Those at Toad's kept a lid on it for the most part, but swirling rumors helped pack the club. Doug Steinschneider, a local musician, was one of those at the venue that night after a friend told him the Stones would be playing. He wasn't able to get in, but managed to get near a side door where he could see Jagger singing. 'It was amazing!' said Steinschneider. 'For being a place where major bands show up, it's a tiny venue. So you get to see the band in their real element. In other words, you're not watching a screen.' A few months later, Bob Dylan's manager reached out looking for a club where he could warm up for an upcoming tour. Dylan's 1990 show at Toad's sold out in 18 minutes. He played four-plus hours — believed to be his longest performance — beginning with a cover of Joe South's 1970 song 'Walk a Mile in My Shoes' and ending with his own 'All Along the Watchtower.' 'That was a good one,' Phelps recalled. Phelps — who bought out Spoerndle's stake in Toad's in 1998 — believes the secret to the venue's longevity has been bringing in acts from different genres, along with events such as dance nights and 'battle of the bands'. Rap shows especially draw big crowds, he said. Naughty by Nature and Public Enemy played Toad's in 1992. After releasing his first album, Kanye West played there in 2004 with John Legend on keyboards. Drake played Toad's in 2009, early in his music career. And Snoop Dogg stopped by to perform in 2012 and 2014. 'When you have all these things, all ages, all different styles of music, and you have some dance parties to fill in where you need them, especially during a slow year, it brings enough capital in so that you can stay in business and keep moving forward,' Phelps said. On a recent night, as local groups took the stage for a battle of the bands contest, many were in awe of playing in the same space where so many legends have performed. Rook Bazinet, the 22-year-old singer of the Hartford-based emo group Nor Fork, said the band members' parents told them of all the big acts they'd seen at the New Haven hot spot over the years. Bazinet's mom had seen Phish there in the '90s. 'Me, the Stones and Bob Dylan,' Bazinet added. 'I'm glad to be on that list.'
