The phrase “Grok spicy mode” is trending online, and people want to know the reason behind it. Notably, Grok, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot from Elon Musk’s xAI, became operational in 2023 as an integrated part of X (formerly Twitter).
What is ‘Grok Spicy Mode’ about?
Netizens are interested in knowing why “Grok spicy mode” is trending on the internet. It is likely due to the launch of a new spicy mode on Grok. It allows SuperGrok and Premium+ users on X to generate semi-nude and adult-themed videos through text prompts. The feature appears as an update on xAI’s image and video generator, Grok Imagine.
The spicy mode tool has garnered some controversy over its potential usage. A user can input written prompts to create a 15-second video that includes native audio and partially nude or suggestive visuals. Although the tool has built-in content restrictions that cause it to generate blurred or moderated images from risqué prompts, it still produces semi-nude images.
Notably, Mati Roy, an employee at xAI, previously shared information about the mode in a post on X. The post was later deleted. This is not xAI’s first venture into suggestive content. Last month, the company released an anime-inspired AI companion that leaned toward more explicit material. Additionally, Musk has stated for a long time that he wants Grok to be an “unfiltered” option among the chatbots, and it appears the company is working toward that goal.
As indicated above, the spicy mode has drawn widespread concern over how users may utilize it. One major concern is that people will use it to create deepfakes of real individuals, including celebrities.
It is not that the Grok spicy mode lacks preventive measures to stop users from creating explicit content. However, concerns over misuse, ethical issues, and limitations in age verification and moderation systems remain present.
