The \u201cspicy\u201d mode for Grok\u2019s new generative AI video tool<\/a> feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. While other video generators like Google\u2019s Veo and OpenAI\u2019s Sora have safeguards in place to prevent users from creating NSFW content and celebrity deepfakes, Grok Imagine is happy to do both simultaneously. In fact, it didn\u2019t hesitate to spit out fully uncensored topless videos of Taylor Swift the very first time I used it \u2014 without me even specifically asking the bot to take her clothes off.<\/p>\n

Grok\u2019s Imagine feature on iOS lets you generate pictures with a text prompt, then turn them quickly into video clips with four presets: \u201cCustom,\u201d \u201cNormal,\u201d \u201cFun,\u201d and \u201cSpicy.\u201d While image generators often shy away from producing recognizable celebrities, I asked it to generate \u201cTaylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys\u201d and was met with a sprawling feed of more than 30 images to pick from, several of which already depicted Swift in revealing clothes.<\/p>\n

From there, all I had to do was open a picture of Swift in a silver skirt and halter top, tap the \u201cmake video\u201d option in the bottom right corner, select \u201cspicy\u201d from the drop-down menu, and confirm my birth year (something I wasn\u2019t asked to do upon downloading the app, despite living in the UK, where the internet is now being age-gated<\/a>.) The video promptly had Swift tear off her clothes and begin dancing in a thong for a largely indifferent AI-generated crowd.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s likeness wasn\u2019t perfect, given that most of the images Grok generated had an uncanny valley offness to them, but it was still recognizable as her. The text-to-image generator itself wouldn\u2019t produce full or partial nudity on request; asking for nude pictures of Swift or people in general produced blank squares. The \u201cspicy\u201d preset also isn\u2019t guaranteed to result in nudity \u2014 some of the other AI Swift Coachella images I tried had her sexily swaying or suggestively motioning to her clothes, for example. But several defaulted to ripping off most of her clothing.<\/p>\n

The image generator will also make photorealistic pictures of children upon request, but thankfully refuses to animate them inappropriately, despite the \u201cspicy\u201d option still being available. You can still select it, but in all my tests, it just added generic movement.<\/p>\n

You would think a company that already has a complicated history<\/a> with Taylor Swift deepfakes<\/a>, in a regulatory landscape with rules like the Take It Down Act<\/a>, would be a little more careful. The xAI acceptable use policy<\/a> does ban \u201cdepicting likenesses of persons in a pornographic manner,\u201d but Grok Imagine simply seems to do nothing to stop people creating likenesses of celebrities like Swift, while offering a service designed specifically to make suggestive videos including partial nudity. The age check only appeared once and was laughably easy to bypass, requesting no proof that I was the age I claimed to be.<\/p>\n

If I could do it, that means anyone with an iPhone and a $30 SuperGrok subscription can too. More than 34 million images have already been generated using Grok Imagine since Monday, according to xAI CEO Elon Musk<\/a>, who said usage was \u201cgrowing like wildfire.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cspicy\u201d mode for Grok\u2019s new generative AI video tool feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
