Grok Imagine, xAI’s new AI image and video generator, lets you make NSFW content

Elon Musk’s AI firm has formally rolled out Grok Think about, xAI’s picture and video generator, to all SuperGrok and Premium+ X subscribers on its iOS app. And true to type for Musk, who positions Grok as an unfiltered, boundary-pushing AI, the generator permits customers to make NSFW content material. 

Grok Think about, which guarantees to show textual content or picture prompts right into a 15-second video that includes native audio, has a “spicy mode” that permits customers to generate sexually express content material, together with partial feminine nudity . There are limits to how express one can get. A lot of our spicier prompts — made within the identify of Journalism! — generate blurred-out photos which might be “moderated” and due to this fact inaccessible. We have been, nevertheless, in a position to generate semi-nude imagery. 

The NSFW content material is unsurprising for xAI, given the discharge final month of a raunchy, hyper-sexualized anime AI companion. However simply as Grok’s unrestrained nature was entertaining till it began spewing hateful, antisemitic, misogynistic content material, Grok Think about could possibly be poised to deliver its personal set of unintended penalties. 

CNBC first reported the existence of a “spicy mode” final week after xAI worker Mati Roy mentioned in a now-deleted publish on X: “Grok Think about movies have a spicy mode that may do nudity.” 

iinfoai has reached out to xAI for extra info. 

The prevailing limitations with Grok Think about are considerably heartening given the mannequin additionally permits you to create content material of celebrities — anybody from Donald Trump to Taylor Swift — and there seem like extra restrictions on these. For instance, iinfoai tried, and failed, to generate a picture of Trump pregnant. Grok Think about solely generated photos of Trump holding a child or subsequent to a pregnant girl. 

Whereas it’s nonetheless early days for Grok Think about, which goals to compete with incumbents like Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Runway, and Chinese language rivals, the pictures and movies generated of people are nonetheless a bit misplaced within the uncanny valley, with waxy-looking pores and skin that verges on cartoonish at instances. 

Nonetheless, the generator is spectacular. It produces photos in seconds from a textual content immediate, and continues to auto-generate new photos as you scroll. These photos can then be animated into stylized movies. The consumer interface can be seamless and intuitive. 

Musk mentioned on X that the mannequin would “get higher daily.”
