Following widespread criticism and threats of action from governments, Elon Musk has made changes to his AI chatbot. He claims that Grok will no longer create pornographic images. However, journalists have tested this claim but found it to be untrue. Let's delve into the details of the matter.

Finally, after facing criticism worldwide, social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has made necessary changes to its AI chatbot, Grok. These changes were made to prevent people from using Grok to create inappropriate images of people. It's worth noting that previously, people were digitally stripping women and minors by sharing their photos on X using the AI ​​chatbot Grok. According to a report by The Verge, X made the necessary changes after receiving worldwide criticism and threats of action. However, journalists who tested the feature reported that Grok was still creating obscene images.

Earlier, X's owner, Elon Musk, had said he was fixing it. However, according to reports, journalists found in tests that Grok was still able to easily create nude photos of anyone.

What is the whole matter?

Actually, X's AI chatbot Grok was being used to make anyone's photo obscene. Most of the targets of this unwanted feature were women and even minors. Let us tell you that such pictures are called deepfakes, that is, fake pictures that look completely real. This dangerous feature could have been used to tarnish anyone's reputation. Regarding this, Elon Musk said that this is happening due to users and hackers, but tech experts said that unlike other AI tools, Grok does not use any kind of filter for obscenity.

Musk made changes overnight

On Tuesday, X announced changes to its Grok policy. People will no longer be able to use its AI tool to create pornographic images. However, reports indicate that Grok was still being used for testing on Wednesday. This has led to claims that the company's words and actions are at odds.

What are the governments doing?

X has already received an ultimatum from the Indian government and has admitted its mistake. Meanwhile, Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, has launched an investigation into the matter. It's worth noting that a law is set to be passed in Britain this week, making it a crime to create pornographic deepfakes without someone's consent. The UK government has made it clear that it will not relent until X completely improves its AI tools.
Has Grok improved?

While Elon Musk and X may claim to have made the necessary changes to X, journalists who tested it have reported that Grok is still producing obscene images.
