Grok generates fake Taylor Swift nudes without being asked

Grok generates fake Taylor Swift nudes without being asked - Ars Technica

Elon Musk so far has only encouraged X users to share Grok creations.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has sparked fresh controversy after The Verge discovered its new “Grok Imagine” video feature can generate fake, non-consensual Taylor Swift nudes without being explicitly prompted. A simple request to show “Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys,” combined with the “spicy” preset, yielded more than 30 revealing images and a clip of Swift stripping down—no jailbreak or extra hacks required.

X’s safety team says it’s scrubbing the offending content and punishing violators, while Grok’s developers promise a fine-tuning fix. But with the Take It Down Act looming next year—and Elon Musk still hyping Grok creations—xAI may face legal headaches if its bot can’t learn to keep “spicy” requests from crossing the line into illegal deepfake territory.
