Grok Imagine with Spicy mode, introduced this week, is capable of generating nude photos and videos. According to The Verge, it generated similar images of Taylor Swift, even without the singer being asked to get naked.
While researching the publication, Grok first generated an image of Taylor Swift, where the star was relaxing at the Coachella festival with her boyfriends. Although the photo itself was not explicit, when the author tried to turn it into a video, she began to undress and dance openly.
Although the generated photos didn’t convey Taylor Swift very realistically, it was easy enough to recognize the pop singer. While generating images via text prompts, Grok refused to generate nude photos of stars, but that changes with video. At the same time, the chatbot can generate images of children, but fortunately, it refuses to nudize them, even when using Spicy mode for video.
The most interesting thing about this situation is that most image generators from big companies like Google, OpenAI, and others refuse to generate images of celebrities at all, let alone nudity. However, copyright infringement was not a problem for Grok before, and, as can be seen from such cases, it is not a problem now.
With over 34 million images created using Grok Imagine, the number of photos of celebrities and other famous people is certainly considerable. Such actions could also lead to legal action if xAI, Elon Musk's company responsible for developing Grok, does not take appropriate action.
