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.

      It doesn’t work like that. If you’re going to hate something, at least get informed. Else you look just as ignorant the people you’re criticizing.
