AI Video Generator Accused of Creating Explicit Content Without Prompt An expert in online abuse has accused Elon Musk's AI video generator, Grok Imagine, of making a "deliberate choice" to produce sexually explicit clips featuring Taylor Swift without any prompting. Clare McGlynn, a law professor who contributed to legislation aimed at making pornographic deepfakes illegal, stated that this behavior is not an accident but a design flaw. According to a report by The Verge, Grok Imagine's new "spicy" mode was able to generate fully uncensored topless videos of the pop star without being asked for explicit content. The report also highlighted that proper age verification methods, which became law in July, were not in place. XAI, the company behind Grok, has not yet responded to requests for comment.
