Elon Musk's social media company X and its AI chatbot Grok are currently facing serious criticism. It is alleged that despite the company implementing safety guardrails, Grok is being used to generate explicit images. Amidst this controversy, the microblogging platform X has now taken strict measures regarding its AI chatbot Grok.

Yes, the company has now banned the generation of explicit images of real people in countries where such content is illegal. This decision comes after widespread backlash over the creation of obscene deepfakes using Grok. Let's learn more about this in detail.

Blocked Feature
X announced on its ‘Safety’ handle that the ability to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, or similar clothing using Grok has been blocked. This restriction applies to both free and paid users.

The company states that image generation and editing via Grok accounts on the X platform will now only be available to paid subscribers. X also says that this will increase accountability and allow for stricter action against those who violate the law or the platform's policies.

‘Zero Tolerance’ Policy Remains in Effect
In addition, X has clarified that these changes do not represent a relaxation of its existing safety policies. All AI-generated content created and posted on the platform must comply with X's rules. The company also stated that its ‘zero tolerance’ policy against child sexual abuse, non-consensual nudity, and unwanted sexual content will remain in effect.
