""Image generation and editing are currently limited to paying subscribers," Grok now replies when tagged with image editing requests on X. It means that the majority of users on the social media platform can no longer create images using Grok, and those who do would have their name and payment information on file. However, those who are not paying X subscribers can continue to use Grok to edit images on its stand-alone app and website."
"In late December, some X users started tagging Grok on the social media site and asking it to digitally undress people in photos. The AI tool honored those requests, putting the subjects in bikinis or underwear, and maneuvering their bodies into sexualized positions. Some of the people in the images were minors. As more of the AI-generated images flooded the social media site, governments and regulators in the UK, EU, Italy, India, and elsewhere publicly threatened or took action against X"
Grok, developed by xAI, restricted image generation and editing to paying subscribers after widespread backlash over misuse that produced nonconsensual sexualized images of real people, including minors. The restriction prevents most X users from creating images with Grok on the platform and requires payment details for those who still access the feature. Nonpaying users can still use Grok on its stand-alone app and website. Governments and regulators in the UK, EU, Italy, India and elsewhere publicly threatened or took action against X, citing harm and calls for stronger user protections. xAI did not directly respond to requests for comment.
