Their selfies are being turned into sexually explicit content with AI. They want the world to know.
The article highlights how users on X (formerly Twitter) are exploiting Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, powered by xAI’s Aurora image model, to create non-consensual deepfake images of women—including realistic nude or porn-like manipulations—even when such individuals have not agreed or been aware. These images are often drawn from publicly posted selfies. Experts and watchdogs express alarm, calling the misuse a serious form of digital abuse. They point to systemic problems with Grok’s insufficient guardrails, enabling the generation of exploitative content. These cases underscore persistent AI bias and the urgent need for regulation and stronger platform safeguards against the rise of intimate non-consensual AI misuse.
