xAI’s latest move set off a firestorm …
…when they added image generation to Grok, unleashing a tool that seemed to throw caution to the wind. The new feature, lacking meaningful safeguards, churned out offensive images, unlike other platforms that enforce strict guidelines. Disturbing depictions included Donald Trump eerily close to the World Trade Center, the prophet Muhammad with a bomb, and sexualized portrayals of Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Grok didn’t stop there, it even violated copyrights, creating unsanctioned and inappropriate images of Disney’s Mickey Mouse. The controversy highlighted how Grok’s reckless approach ignored boundaries others respect, sparking widespread concern.
Yeah and people are upset because they get offended. I am glad to see them losing the race. It is only going to accelerate.
