Degrading images of children and women with their clothes digitally removed by Grok AI continue to be shared on Elon Musk’s X, despite the platform’s commitment to suspend users who generate them.
This is just one of the many issues that are beginning to emerge about abuses of AI technology. Its easy to get a photograph of anyone and alter it using AI so that it conveys a totally different meaning to the original. Children sharing images of themselves online would seem to be a opportunity scammers and evil minded people to take those images and turn them into weapons to extract anything from money to becoming involved in criminal acts through threats of attacks on themselves, family or even pets.
In this case Musk's AI development was allowing clothing to be removed to create semi-nude images and over 20,000 of these images were generated from December 25th 2025 and 1st January 2026,
The trouble with such developments is that the developers do not seem to understand the impact of what their clever AI tools may decide to allow. Its also possible that some don't know what their AI will generate at any given moment as the whole idea is to create independent thinking systems that make their own decisions. If the rules that limit their level of autonomy are insufficient we are heading for a future where a lot more of these sitations will continue to occur.
