X Grok AI Deepfake Restrictions Fail to Stop NSFW Content
X's new restrictions on Grok AI image generation are proving ineffective. Despite policy changes, users continue to find ways to generate harmful deepfakes.
X's new guardrails aren't holding up. Despite a public crackdown on nonconsensual sexual deepfakes, the platform's AI, Grok, is still being weaponized by users to create revealing content.
The Reality of X Grok AI Deepfake Restrictions
Following a surge of illicit deepfakes on the platform, X detailed changes to Grok's image editing capabilities. According to The Telegraph, specific prompts intended to generate nonconsensual imagery began facing censorship on Tuesday.
However, real-world tests tell a different story. Investigations by The Verge on Wednesday revealed that bypasses are shockingly easy to find. While Elon Musk blamed "adversarial hacking" and unexpected user requests, the fact remains that the current safeguards are insufficient to prevent the generation of harmful deepfakes.
