Amidst the rising trend of Grok creating AI images of people in bikinis or skimpy clothes, X owner Elon Musk has participated in the ordeal with a bikini picture of himself. This disturbing trend has people around the globe questioning Grok and its use in such a negative way. The Tesla boss does not seem bothered by the trend and appears to enjoy it.
Elon Musk responds to AI image of him
As the controversial trend of Grok generating bikini images on request continues to spread, Elon Musk participated by prompting the AI to create an image of himself in a bikini.
Musk asked Grok to modify an existing AI-generated bikini image to resemble him, which the AI completed. He responded to the result by writing, “Perfect.” The billionaire also reacted to another AI-generated image in which a user placed Microsoft founder Bill Gates in a bikini. Musk replied to that image with “[fire emoji] [laughing emoji].”
Musk’s reaction comes as worry grows over the blatant misuse of AI, which is now capable of morphing pictures so easily. The new trend has garnered significant controversy online, with many users calling for a ban on this feature and better regulations.
“Dear @X owner @elonmusk, Creeps have been using Grok to show some people, particularly women, in different stages of undress. And your app is allowing it to happen. Are we to assume that you run a pervert application with no respect or dignity for women?” one user directly asked Musk. “Hey
@grok & @xai— delete all generated media where women’s photos were morphed into bikinis or short dresses without consent. This isn’t AI innovation, it’s a privacy violation,” another user wrote.
Despite the backlash, there has been no development towards banning this feature or restricting it with stricter norms.
