Editing function to be limited to paying subscribers after X threatened with fines and regulatory action
Grok, Elon Musk’s AI tool, has switched off its image creation function for the vast majority of users after a widespread outcry about its use to create sexually explicit and violent imagery.
The move comes after Musk was threatened with fines, regulatory action and reports of a possible ban on X in the UK.
The tool had been used to manipulate images of women to remove their clothes and put them in sexualised positions. The function to do so has been switched off except for paying subscribers.



Grok won’t “learn” anything. That’s not how LLMs work.
Also, are you genuinely making the case that “don’t generate CSAM” is “dumbing down” the AI? Because that is, um… certainly an interesting take
So they can’t alter its code or delete parts of its code to dumb it down?
That’s not how LLMs work at all
It doesn’t have any smart to make dumb. That’s not how LLMs work.
