Elon Musk's Grok-AI Garners Criticism, Auto-Generating Taylor Swift's Explicit Deep Fakes
Grok AI accused of creating Taylor Swift's explicit deepfakes: Image via X 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bespoke 3,3.5 & 4 BHK Homes: ₹2.30Cr*+ at Singasandra, Bengaluru Mahindra NewHaven Get Quote Undo 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.
