Musk’s ‘fun’ AI image chatbot serves up Nazi Mickey Mouse and Taylor Swift deepfakes

"In prompts and images reviewed by the Guardian, Grok’s output included representations of Donald Trump flying a plane into the World Trade Center buildings and the prophet Muhammad holding a bomb, as well as depictions of Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in lingerie – all women who are already frequent targets for online harassment."

Musk’s ‘fun’ AI image chatbot serves up Nazi Mickey Mouse and Taylor Swift deepfakes

Grok doesn’t reject prompts depicting violent and explicit content as X owner calls it ‘the most fun AI in the world!’

The Guardian

Here we are. Over on Twitter the new A.I. feature Grok is mostly being used by self confessed Incel failures to live out their dreary fantasies.

Is this really the best thing you can imagine? Argentine right wing nutjob president Milei chopping down socialist zombies with a chainsaw?

Who would reply to that saying it's 🔥 ?

Elon Musk. Of course.

Musk's new AI model turns a noun into a negative adjective in record time.

Jesus, that image manages to be offensive, dangerous and rubbish all at the same time. And they expect us to pay $8 a month for this load of old Grok?

#WhiteBoySummer

O.K. who did this?

#Grok

O.K. one more and then I'll stop. Liz Truss (nearly!) in a lettuce dress is one of the less outrageous uses of Grok I've seen today.

It's all backfired on Musk and right now Twitter is a horror show war between the left wing and the right wing using funny and/or horrific artificial images.

When Musk said Grok would be 'fun' I don't think this is quite what he had in mind. I hope these kinds of images will help him realize how preposterous and also dangerous his new toy really is.

#Grok

OK. Enough Grok. I've shared a few of the less despicable ones here to show you what it's about, but no more.

If we don't want to see disgusting and degrading pictures of Kamala Harris, then we don't get to see pictures of Donald Trump in handcuffs, and vice versa.

And Vice Versa, Elon.

I hope Musk gets this and switches the damn thing off. Now.

@ProjectFearlessness Lettuce. It’s a lettuce dress.
@CommonMugwort
Of course it is. Thanks for spotting it. I've edited it.

@ProjectFearlessness

Someone is transmitting Mr. Trump's daily thoughts direct to social media: he's coming undone.

@JeffreySmith
Yes, he is coming undone, or maybe finally everyone is realizing that he came undone years ago.

@ProjectFearlessness on this Musk is absolutely right, grokAI is a dumpster fire.
@marjolica
It really is. I haven't looked at all the technical and ethical problems, but the images I've seen confirms the old saying. Garbage in, garbage out.
@ProjectFearlessness
The worst part is that his AI just reused Evil Dead's Ash and design. Anyone with cut/paste skill could have made this same image. Look at the chainsaw? Evil Dead rip off.
@Beats4Life
You're right, but I'd not gone as far as actually critiquing them. They're all a piece of shit, how's that?
@ProjectFearlessness
Oh, no complaints about your posts. Not trying to egg you on. I was just sharing my opinion. You don't have to stoop down to my level. 
@Beats4Life
I know. It's just that I had a look at the ones Musk was posting yesterday so I've had my share of them. They are also being used to troll Musk which sounds a lot more appealing, just don't look at the one of Musk and Trump kissing. You'll never unsee that.
