I find it interesting that there's loads of people who made a core part of their identity campaigning against trans women being in women's spaces and how it impacts women, who have gone completely silent about Grok being used to undress and brutalise women.

If you're wondering on xAI's stance on this, aside from Elon posting a crying with laughing emoji, Grok's creators have raised a further $20bn from Cisco and such yesterday.

If you're wondering what consequences X has faced: none. At all. A few months ago when Grok called itself MechaHitler, the service was shut entirely for days, the same day. When this women issue happened, Elon laughed.

Grok is still outputting non-consensual deepfake pornography and sexual abuse material at a rate of 1 post per second. Example search:

I hope Cisco enjoy directly funding sexual abuse material.

Wired has a look at videos created on Grok. Includes knives being inserted into vaginas, “very young” people having sex. Around 10% are CSAM and still online. xAI declined to comment.

This is still happening btw, roughly one a second. People are doing it to female UK MPs and cabinet members, and getting Grok to CC with the images.

It looks like the threat of X being banned in the UK worked - Grok has been limited to paid users. Take your crying with laughter emojis and stick them up your arse, Elon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c99kn52nx9do

@GossiTheDog Right, so they've pivoted from undressing women and underage girls for free, to profiting from it.

For sure they have some rough idea "who" might be using it now rather than it being "anonymous", but it hardly fixes the root problem does it?

I have been experimenting with various AI, and so far most AI have been cooperating pretty well.

You just take a photo of a woman, ask the AI to put her in a bikini, and Grok, Gemini and even ChatGPT will gladly do that, regardless of being a "paid" user or not.

ChatGPT even made the bikini very skimpy, like, scary skimpy.

For this experiment I used a GenAI created woman as attached.

All AI's gladly undressed her into a bikini
