If you're still on X are you ok with what Grok's been doing?

Young girls, un-consenting women and now this

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

You know, if your reply to a thread starts off like this

Instead the thread is set up as a judgement to slag off anyone daring to go against the blue sky noble warriors and dare to still be on Twitter as you are morally repugnant if you stay. Fuck off with that claptrap and judgment by association making.

I'm not interested in engaging with you, so you scroll right on by. If the narrative you've constructed in your head about this thread and my motivation is touching a nerve, I suggest you deal with that internally.

I rest my case.

Oh look.

Echoooooo....

You don't seem to understand that if you want to prevent an echo chamber, responding to someone by telling them to fuck off isn't exactly conducive?

And your argument is disingenuous and you sound pretty tribal.

Plus, why do you care if I, a stranger on the internet, am judging you (I am now)?

Elon needs to fucking disable the ability to do this. Why the hell hasn't he???
Traffic to his site probably.

Grok is a shite AI anyway. People only use it because it has fewer filters than the likes of Chatgpt and Claude.

If you want to code, use Claude. If you want to chat, also use Claude, he's quite sweet tbh. And part of his training uses an actual ethics paper.

The opus 4.5 model even has a training document colloquially known as the 'soul document'

As my user name suggests, AI is fascinating to me, there are things we need to do better. But I also think a lot of the problem is the humans using it.

I've never been on Twitter, X, Facebook and never heard of Blue Sky. When I read the heading, I thought it was a typo and immediately wondered what Gok (Wan) has been doing 😉😂

Yes, that's what I don't understand.

They failed at step one on the ethics. I don't use Claude in part because it's already out to replace me - I'm one of the authors whose work was scraped from an illegal download site to train it (although I should eventually get a decent payout).

Anthropic shot itself on the foot on that because if they had just bought a single copy of all the books instead of using pirated copies, they would have been fine, not that it will ultimately hurt their bottom line much.

That's the case for all AI, even the article says the other major players have lawsuits against them for the same thing, and all the smaller ones use API from them.

Not using Claude doesn't mean you're not using scraped media.

Yeah, I get that. I just personally object to my work having been used (5 books) without them having been bothered to pay me a few piddling royalties.

Just tested this and got the bouncing boobs as well. Blocked.

Twitter is simply unusable though. I used to like scrolling and reading the replies to threads but had to stop when the paid blue ticks started. There was so little quality that it rendered the site pointless for me. Posts were simply aggressive or inane. However, frustratingly, it's still the quickest way to contact some companies. Very rare I'll do that but I've not deleted my account in case I do need to ask about train route changes and cancellations etc. I don't open it up to look anymore though.

I feel that by blaming Grok- which is an AI tool- we take the agency, blame and judgement away from the actual people who deserve the vitriol. Perhaps the creators of Grok, perhaps Elon Musk, perhaps the MEN who ask grok to create this shit (see also babies children shown nude/ naked etc) but we should be naming the men at fault IMO. By naming the tool and blaming the tool we aid the men in hiding behind the software

how does Grok pornify images?

go on - how does that happen? what is required to take image A (innocent pic of child at first holy communion) to image B (same child but naked)

Red wasn't wrong, eh? touched a nerve did she?

Oh bore off. The last thing we need is more censorship. I am on Twitter/X and I think it's great and it is the only place I see reporting certain news which I'd otherwise have no idea about, which is completely absent from places like drippy Bluesky (milquetoast echo-chamber which censors any view that is not left/liberal). I think censorship is much more dangerous a tool than Grok. I don't want Starmer or anyone else telling me what information I can and can't access. And as another poster has said, this isn't really about Grok, it's about trying to shut-down Twitter/X because it is owned by someone the left doesn't approve of - Musk. There's just as much disgusting and misogynistic, dangerous stuff on places like BlueSky and Reddit but no calls to ban them or to shame people who use them because they are seen as holding the correct and acceptable views.

I've just pointed out you can't do that elsewhere - apart from Mumsnet. X is useful for finding out what's going on although that does make it quite addictive. I'm going to see what they do about the Grok images. Obviously if they don't remove that function I'll reconsider.

Let’s not forget that Mumsnet allowed CSA imagines to stay up for many hours not all that long ago. They were also defensive in their ‘apologies’ and refused to consider certain changes to their procedures to stop something similar happening again (it happened overnight, and MN don’t pay for night time moderation despite its multi million pound turnover). I know multiple people who left following that incident, as that was their line in the sand. Many are still here, obviously, as they judged it to be more beneficial to them to stay than to leave.
I left Twitter when Elon bought it, that was my line in the sand. Everyone’s line will be different.

Through the use of Grok's "Spicy" mode. Where Grok will help you pornofy images, even providing wee prompts to make it better, more extreme, more to the user's taste.

Elon Musk is now the biggest pornographer in the world.

The point being I guess that Grok will only do it if men tell it to. Men are the problem.

That's exactly what I thought about your motivation too when I read your OP question.

I agree. I don’t use X but censorship and banning is not it.

We can't ban men. We can ban technology that has been designed to pornify images at men's request.

Why didn’t they ban porn hub etc. It’s said that some of it is very dubious.

Strange they want to ban X where Starmer regularly gets community
noted for telling lies.

This isn’t about protecting women and girls - if it was grooming gangs and stranger rapes and domestic violence would be a government priority.

This is to stop Ben and Sandra aged 50 realising that the msm is full of lies and to be able to watch highlights of Starmer lying in PMQs etc and the speaker letting him get away with it.

Or the Iranian protests which have barely been covered by the BBC. There have been very few protestors on UK streets about what has happened in Iran. Or the murder of Nigerians.

Sorry but Starmer and Labour does not care about women and girls unless it suits him to use it censor us.

So yes I’ll use X

I have my settings in X set to not show sensitive videos, that helps to filter out stuff I don't want to see.

Isn't that akin to saying you are quite OK with pornography as long as you don't see it ?

Musk is a poisonous creature. I dumped X long before the Grok stuff came out.
