  1. Surprising amount of people wanna create sexualised images of unconsenting women and children.

  2. Aspect-Unusual on

    App gets called out for letting the user make sexualised images of children, App gets a sudden uptake in users.

    Yeah, these people need their harddrives checked.

    People on here are starting to sound like Peter Kyle now that it’s twitter in contention.

  4. Shockingandawesome on

    I don’t use grok anyway but are people probably downloading it now incase it gets banned?

    World: “child porn isn’t right don’t distribute it”

    The right wing: arrrghhhhh!!!

    Outed yourselves lads. Good keep downloading. Makes a nice easy to find list of people to add to the register

    Let’s talk about how water bills and electricity bills have gone through the roof to pay for said data centres. The trillion dollar companies should pay for the infrastructure costs, but we the general public do.

    Someone will try telling me that I am wrong but it’s very easy to google that I am correct. Not doing the very easy leg work for people anymore.

    What goes through the tiny minds of these people?

    Headline: AI tool is used by deviants and paedophiles to create horrific pornographic images on non-consenting adults and children.

    Morons: That sounds interesting, I’ll download it.

    WTF!? WTAF..!? Are these idiots damaged?

  8. Special-Audience-426 on

    Crazy. I literally can’t think of an app I’d be less likely to install right now. 

    I quite like not being on lists and being the harmless type of weird.

    I get that we are in unchartered territory with generative AI, but if a company, or indeed Elon Musk is distributing an app that creates or is capable of creating child pornography, and they are doing nothing to prevent their users from generating illegal images (which I understand it is illegal in this country, even if it is generated by AI), then if the government had any balls they would be applying to have the owners of the app extradited where they should be facing charges, or be arrested as soon as they step on UK soil or any country that is will to cooperate with us.

    If we are arresting people for making offensive tweets, then we should be arresting millionaires / billionaires who are doing far more egregious stuff.  

    If the app is being distributed on the Google play store and/or apple app store, then action.should be taken against Google and Apple too. 

  10. Because they want to create sexual images of women they know, and children.

    Are we really pretending that isn’t the primary reason for the uptick?

  11. trophyisabyproduct on

    At this stage, I will genuinely question the reason of downloading Grok app…. if I happen to see it on someone’s phone.. .

  12. Lots if weirdos getting a last minute goon session before its banned.

    Actually a little bit shocking that the news that Grok is being used to sexualise people is what pushed it to no.1

  13. Are you sure people aren’t downloading it because if it’s removed from the App Store they won’t be able to get it later? But users who already have it will still be able to use it

  14. They’ve basically told the whole country not to do something so of course we’re all gonna do the complete opposite

    Me in my 20s – “I can’t believe there used to be page 3 casual nudity and countdowns on underage models till we could see them naked, what an awful time for women where they were simply reduced to sexual objects”

    Me now – “Oh god this is so much worse, at least page 3 models consented, got paid and had an age limit, where’s the go back button?!?!”

    What an awful time to exist

    I still don’t appreciate the appeal of AI (Grok,in particular). Still too much bias, too much hallucinations and pure error-prone responses. It’s not even good entertainment.

  17. OkOpportunity5469 on

    I went on there and you can’t do anything that the media is claiming. It refused to digitally undress me and told me it breaches it’s guidelines.

  18. I thought Grok banned AI sexualised images long time ago. If you go on Grok Reddit page it’s all they complain about, that they spent money on premium service and it doesn’t work.

    AI has gone too far, it’s actually killing the internet, which I suppose could be a good thing in this constantly online world.
