The global outrage over Musk’s Grok AI image abuse
Elon Musk’s AI tool, Grok, has caused global outrage after it made it really easy to virtually undress people via AI image editing. Musk’s competitor to ChatGPT is integrated into the social media platform X and earlier this month users started asking it to do some pretty gross things. X was flooded with images of semi-naked women, with users able to reply to anyone’s perfectly innocent picture and ask it to put them in a bikini, for example. While Musk initially downplayed the scandal and was slow to act, he’s now put limits on the tool. But is that the end of the story and should X be banned? Today, Sam Cole, a tech journalist and co-founder of 404 Media on the Grok scandal and how it enabled the exploitation and abuse of women. Featured: Sam Cole, co-founder of 404 Media
