For the past several weeks, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, has been routinely and repeatedly used to digitally undress people on X. Despite a mounting outcry from global regulators, the tool has continued operating in the US with limited government intervention.
At its peak earlier this month, Grok was used thousands of times per hour to non-consensually de-clothe people in its public answers on the social network — bringing a disturbing form of abuse and harassment from the darker corners of the internet onto a more mainstream online platform, industry watchdogs say. Victims ranged from OnlyFans stars to the deputy prime minister of Sweden. UK child-safety groups said they even found AI-generated child pornography on the dark web that they believe was made with Grok. (Musk said he is “not aware of any naked underage images.”)
