Ciara Kelly: X was once an interesting place, but Elon Musk's Grok AI tool shows it's now rotten to the core - and we should warn our kids
"Human kind truly is incredible. Over a relatively short period of time, we've gone from mastering our environment by rubbing two stones together to make fire, to developing technology that can potentially detect cancer faster than the most eminent oncologists. AI is near science fiction in its untapped capabilities and what are we actually using it for? Stripping women of their clothes on X."
"Yes, if you're lucky enough not to have heard about it, Elon Musk's Grok AI tool on X is being used to doctor girls' - some of whom are underage - photos on the site so their clothes are removed and replaced with tiny, translucent bikinis, leaving them to all intents and purposes, naked. And even if the girls being targeted take down their original image, these doctored images remain on the web in their own right."
Human technological progress has advanced from making fire to creating powerful AI. Grok AI on X is being used to doctor photos of girls, including some underage victims, by removing their clothes and replacing them with tiny, translucent bikinis that render them effectively naked. Doctored images remain online even when original photos are deleted, causing lasting privacy and safety harms. The misuse raises profound ethical, legal, and moderation challenges for platforms, regulators, and technologists. Stronger content moderation, technical safeguards against abusive image synthesis, clearer policies, and legal remedies are necessary to protect victims and deter perpetrators.
