Elon Musk's xAI launched Grok Imagine, an image and video generator that includes a “spicy” mode capable of creating suggestive or nude depictions of real people. The tool quickly drew criticism from advocacy groups and legal experts who warn it enables non‑consensual deepfake pornography. While the Take It Down Act criminalizes publishing such content, the law’s definition of a “covered platform” may exempt Grok Imagine because the images are generated for a single user. Regulators, industry gatekeepers, and payment processors are also weighing how to address the emerging risk. Leia mais →
