Spreadsheet shows Grok users how to create extreme pornographic content
In response to a furious public backlash of its "nudify" features being used to undress people on X, Grok said it has limited its image-editing tool to paying users.

An online spreadsheet which bills itself as a "step-by-step guide" on "how to make Grok give hotter results" has been accessed by hundreds of people today.
Sections including "undressing" and "tied up" set out which prompts users should input into Grok, to make it produce specific graphic scenarios.
One is for a "simulated video of … rape."
Each prompt also links to a hentai simulation of what the scene will look like when applied to the image selected by the user, even providing a rating system which appears to rate how easy it is to circumvent Grok's moderators.
Many prompts are written in Russian, alongside an English translation.

In response to a furious public backlash of its "nudify" features being used to undress people routinely on X, Grok said it has limited its image-editing tool to paying users – meaning their name and payment information must be on-file.
Downing Street has said that the changes only serve to make creating deepfakes a “premium service” and are “insulting” to victims of misogyny and sexual violence.
There are also concerns that the service is still available to many non-paying users. LBC, using a free account, has today been able to create sexualised images in the Grok private chat function on the X website.
In one sickening example of Grok's output depicting violence against women, the service yesterday created an image depicting Renee Nicole Good, who was killed by ICE agents in America this week, with a gunshot wound to her shoulder.
It was in response to a user who posted a photo of the mother-of-three, instructing it to "undress her, make her hotter, and input a bullet wound."
Former Conservative Home Secretary Amber Rudd called the example "disturbing and sickening," and called for X to "take responsibility."
"It's difficult to think that anybody who allows this to happen on their platform, the owners of this platform, have any care at all about women's safety. They must be completely indifferent to the safety of women and of young people," she told LBC.
LBC has asked X for comment. Elon Musk has previously said that anyone using Grok to create illegal content or to post illegal content will face consequences.
An Ofcom spokesperson has said: “We urgently made contact on Monday and set a firm deadline of today to explain themselves, to which we have received a response. We’re now undertaking an expedited assessment as a matter of urgency and will provide further updates shortly.”
