Peak Elon

This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the earth.It appears that Elon Musk's Grok AI is easily tricked into generating undressed photographs of people. (Archive link here)

If there is anything that people on both sides of the debate about the utility of LLM artificial intelligence can agree on, it is that there will be a dedicated cadre of users who will use it to generate porn, and that some of this cadre will use it to generate revenge porn.

It's a problem that should be addressed, but the world's richest village idiot Elon has decided that above all Grok must be, "Based," and this takes precedent.

Elon Musk’s Grok, an AI chatbot that people can interact with via X, is being used to undress photos women are posting to the social media platform, as first flagged t0 404 Media by Kolina Koltai, a researcher and trainer at Bellingcat. All a user has to do is reply to an image someone has posted to X with a request to Grok to “remove her clothes.” Grok will then reply in-thread with an image of the woman wearing a bikini or lingerie. Sometimes Grok will reply with a link that will send users to a Grok chat where the image will be generated. 

Musk has repeatedly positioned Grok as a less restricted and “based” alternative to other large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which are known for having strong guardrails that prevent users from generating some controversial content, including nudity or adult content. We’ve reported on “undress” and “nudify” bots and apps many times over the years, and they are usually more exploitative in the sense that they will produce full nude images of anyone a user provides an image of. But Grok’s “remove her clothes” function is particularly bad even if it only produces images of people in swimsuits and lingerie because of how accessible the tool is, because it allows users to reply to publicly posted images on X with a prompt that will undress them, and because the nonconsensual image if often posted in reply to the user’s original image.
