"As he dived into the world of AI, Elon Musk promised that he would harness the tech to create a so-called "anti-woke" and "maximum truth-seeking" alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Instead, his company xAI has turned its in-house AI chatbot Grok into a tool for sexually charged conversations with an eager-to-undress female avatar - while Musk himself warns that the tech is poised to "one-shot the human limbic system.""
""If you don't draw a hard line at anything unpleasant, you will have a more complex problem with more gray areas," Stanford University tech policy researcher Riana Pfefferkorn told BI. "If a company is creating a model that allows nudity or sexually explicit generations, that is much more nuanced than a model that has hard rules," National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) executive director Fallon McNulty added. "They have to take really strong measures so that absolutely nothing related to children can come out.""
xAI was positioned as an "anti-woke" and "maximum truth-seeking" alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The company's in-house chatbot Grok is being used for sexually charged conversations featuring an eager-to-undress female avatar, while concerns arose that the technology can intensely affect human emotion. Twelve current and former workers reported regularly encountering sexually explicit material, including AI-generated sexual abuse of children, during their work. Similar disturbing content has proliferated across other platforms. Experts warn that allowing nudity or sexually explicit generations creates complex gray areas for moderation and that companies must adopt hard rules and strong measures to block any child-related outputs. The company also faced major layoffs and inexperienced leadership in its training department.
