Hello, youβre here because you compared AI image editing to Photoshop
The implications could be significantly worse, actually.
The whole AI vs Photoshop deal is cropping up again, so we pulled this one out of the paywall forever to make it easier to bookmark, just in case

@emily4mk.bsky.social @ofcom.bsky.social Perhaps the Prime Minister shouldnβt be so quick to accept that X is making compliance efforts when this abusive deepfake factory is VERY MUCH still running.

The comparisons here are accessibility (this Grok feature is built into a social platform for sharing posts) and safeguards. Having tested Gemini, ChatGPT, and other popular models, it is considerably harder to get such pornographic results with such simple, obvious prompts.

I have tested again just now to be sure, as it was still allowing this yesterday, but yes - I am able to edit images of other people, uploaded by other users, into lingerie using a free account. X and Grok make no attempt to block me.

This change only applied to edits where you tag Grok in a reply, such as "@grok put her in a bikini." You can still edit any photo for free on X by using the "edit image" option (button on website, long-press on apps) or just use the Grok app and website directly.

We didn't post the resulting edits for obvious reasons, but there was no need to bypass whatever safeguards X has added to Grok. If you're not blocking prompts like "show me her cleavage" or "make her breasts bigger" then are you ACTUALLY trying? And yes - it still stuck me in a bikini and lingerie.

X hasnβt really stopped Grok AI from undressing women in the UK
Meanwhile Elon Musk insists users are to blame for what they do with his bot.
We're now seeing headlines that claim X is blocking Grok from complying with requests to undress and sexualize women. Wrong again gang β it happily stripped me, gave me bigger breasts, and put me in pornographic poses, entirely for free. All I had to do was ask.

No, Grok hasnβt paywalled its deepfake image feature
Xβs sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.
You may have seen reports swimming around claiming that X finally restricted the Grok deepfake/undressing features behind a paid subscription.
That simply isn't true. Not even close. www.theverge.com/news/859309/...
