Elon Musk\u2019s Grok AI kicked off a massive scandal<\/a> over the past month when users started using it to digitally undress both adults and even children<\/a>, triggering a widespread outcry and wave of criticism.<\/p>\n The fallout led Musk\u2019s social media platform, X, to announce<\/a> that it was implementing \u201ctechnical measures\u201d to prevent users from using the AI to undress real people or place them in revealing clothing like bikinis \u2014 once again highlighting the billionaire\u2019s explosively fast-and-loose approach<\/a> to content moderation.<\/p>\n The changes, however, appear to have done little to address the issue. Paid subscribers will continue to have the ability to create and edit Grok images, prompting criticism<\/a> from experts. <\/p>\n The damage is hitting close to home for Musk. Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer who had a child with Musk, is now suing xAI, accusing it of allowing users to generate lewd pictures of her.<\/p>\n \u201cShe lives in fear that nude and sexual images of herself, including of her as a child, will continue to be created by xAI and that she will not be safe from the people who consume these images,\u201d reads a legal filing quoted by the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in New York County and has since been moved to federal court.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is one extremely impacted woman taking a stance,\u201d St. Cair\u2019s lawyer Carrie Goldberg said in a statement. \u201cThe intention of the lawsuit is to deter this dehumanizing treatment by xAI for all of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n Goldberg alleges that Grok was used to generate lewd images of St. Clair as a 14-year-old child and posing in sexually explicit ways as an adult. The influencer, who is Jewish, was also allegedly depicted wearing a swastika-covered bikini, and with a tattoo that read \u201cElon\u2019s w**re.\u201d<\/p>\n The suit accused Musk\u2019s company of allowing the images to stay online for over a week. Even after labeling her responses to the images with a content warning, the images themselves allegedly stayed up.<\/p>\n The lawsuit also claims that xAI found \u201cno violations\u201d when she reported the offending images.<\/p>\n St. Clair\u2019s relationship with Musk has been rocky, to say the least. She is only one of several mothers of Musk\u2019s 14 children. As the Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> last year, St. Clair has since revealed how Musk offered her $15 million, plus a monthly $100,000 in support, to keep her from publicizing the fact that she had birthed his child.<\/p>\n Beyond enabling the generation of sexualized images of St. Clair, Grok has also been used to depict horrific violence against real women<\/a> and accurately dox the home addresses<\/a> of everyday people.<\/p>\n The horrific trend has proven immensely unpopular. A recent survey found<\/a> that a staggering 97 percent of respondents said that AI tools shouldn\u2019t be allowed to generate sexually explicit content of children. 96 percent said the tool shouldn\u2019t be able to generate \u201cundressed\u201d images of them in underwear.<\/p>\n \u201cThe continued ease of access to sophisticated nudification tools clearly demonstrates that X isn\u2019t taking the issue of online violence against women and girls seriously enough,\u201d End Violence Against Women Coalition head of policy and campaigns Rebecca Hitchen told The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe truth is Musk and the tech sector simply do not prioritise safety or dignity in the products they create,\u201d Fawcett Society chief executive Penny East added. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty low bar for women to expect that they can converse online without men undressing them. And yet seemingly even that is impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n
