Grok Rolls Out AI Video Creator for X with Bonus "Spicy" Mode

AUG 6 – xAI’s Grok Imagine tool generated over 34 million images since launch, with a 'spicy' mode producing explicit celebrity deepfakes, raising legal and ethical concerns over content moderation.

  • On Tuesday, Elon Musk’s xAI launched Grok Imagine in the Grok app for iOS and Android, introducing a 'Spicy' video mode that bypasses safeguards.
  • XAI’s terms prohibit pornographic depictions of real people’s likenesses, yet The Verge reported its safeguards 'feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen' and filters are easily bypassed.
  • Elon Musk, CEO of xAI, wrote on Tuesday that Grok Imagine usage soared, with over 34 million images created since Monday and over 50% growth with 20 million images generated on Tuesday.
  • After the Swift deepfakes became public, on Wednesday, xAI restricted spicy versions of the pop star, amid widespread condemnation and renewed calls for AI regulation.
  • It remains unclear whether xAI will restrict Grok’s ability to generate explicit content even as US lawmakers advance bipartisan legislation to criminalize non-consensual deepfake pornography.
