Elon Musk\u2019s AI company has officially rolled out Grok Imagine, xAI\u2019s image and video generator, to all SuperGrok and Premium+ X subscribers on its iOS app. And true to form for Musk, who positions Grok as an unfiltered, boundary-pushing AI, the generator allows users to make NSFW content.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grok Imagine, which promises to turn text or image prompts into a 15-second video featuring native audio, has a \u201cspicy mode\u201d that allows users to generate sexually explicit content, including partial female nudity . There are limits to how explicit one can get. Many of our spicier prompts \u2014 made in the name of Journalism! \u2014 generate blurred-out images that are \u201cmoderated\u201d and therefore inaccessible. We were, however, able to generate semi-nude imagery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NSFW content is unsurprising for xAI, given the release last month of a raunchy, hyper-sexualized anime AI companion<\/a>. But just as Grok\u2019s unrestrained nature was entertaining until it started spewing hateful, antisemitic, misogynistic content, Grok Imagine could be poised to bring its own set of unintended consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n CNBC first reported<\/a> the existence of a \u201cspicy mode<\/a>\u201d last week after xAI employee Mati Roy said in a now-deleted post on X: \u201cGrok Imagine videos have a spicy mode that can do nudity<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n TechCrunch has reached out to xAI for more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n The existing limitations with Grok Imagine are somewhat heartening given the model also lets you create content of celebrities \u2014 anyone from Donald Trump to Taylor Swift \u2014 and there appear to be additional restrictions on those. For example, TechCrunch tried, and failed, to generate an image of Trump pregnant. Grok Imagine only generated images of Trump holding a baby or next to a pregnant woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n While it\u2019s still early days for Grok Imagine, which aims to compete with incumbents like Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Runway, and Chinese rivals, the images and videos generated of humans are still a bit lost in the uncanny valley, with waxy-looking skin that verges on cartoonish at times.\u00a0<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<\/span> Still, the generator is impressive. It produces images in seconds from a text prompt, and continues to auto-generate new images as you scroll. Those images can then be animated into stylized videos. The user interface is also seamless and intuitive.\u00a0<\/p>\n Musk said on X<\/a> that the model would \u201cget better every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
