Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok posted on Friday that lapses in safeguards had led it to generate “images depicting minors in minimal clothing” on social media platform X.
...I mean, has there ever been an invention of visual arts in the entire history of the world that wasn't used for porn by someone eventually? When Ug first got out the ground ochre and charcoal to paint mammoths on the cave walls, it won't have been too long before one of his chums was planning to paint Mrs Ug in a compromising position with a cave bear.
The chatbot, a product of Musk’s company xAI, has been generating a wave of sexualized images throughout the week in response to user prompts.
User prompts. The users of the software. Not the creators of it. So why is Musk getting all the opprobium from the EU and the progressives in the states? As if I didn't know...
In a reply to a user on X on Thursday, Grok said most cases could be prevented through advanced filters and monitoring although it said “no system is 100% foolproof”, adding that xAI was prioritising improvements and reviewing details shared by users.
If lawmakers and politicians have a beef, it should be with the users who are doing this, not with the creators of the tool that gives them an outlet to do it.

It is too much work to track them down and prosecute them. Then they tend to be poor where one edict against a large corporation can bring in hundreds of millions. Especially when it is one as sanctimonious as something to do with children.
Not that scantily clad is not illegal. Go to any swimming area in summer but it almost is so that is good enough for our mickey mouse legal system.
Now, I'm torn about child porn, imo those that make it should be castrated and go to jail for life but having it as a substitute for the real thing must save kids I don't see how it doesn't. Now I don't actually understand how you can sexualise kids at all but clearly a lot do and from the news it is a lot of people including rich upper class people who don't appear mentally ill. Makes no sense to me at all. Makes me wonder if I'm to weirdo because I don't have any interest in kids.
It's the case with every new system of image comms, from painting, through printing, photography, motion pictures, video, now the internet - they all achieved mass public growth on the back of their facility to deliver images which some may have considered pornographic.
VHS video, a technically inferior medium, only overwhelmed Betamax because there was a wider range of porn available on it.
It's the price of progress, grow up, get over it.
