"Jane Doe 1 was alerted anonymously in December that someone was distributing sexually explicit images of her on a social media website. At least five of these files, one video and four images, depicted her actual face and body in settings with which she was familiar, but morphed into sexually explicit poses."
"The person distributing the images also created explicit images of at least 18 other girls, two of whom are co-plaintiffs in the lawsuit. In late December, local police arrested the perpetrator and confiscated his phone."
"Other AI companies have prohibited their image-generators from producing any sexually explicit content, even of adults. Musk saw this as a business opportunity and promoted the ability of xAI's Grok chatbot to create 'spicy' content."
Three high school students in Tennessee filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI, alleging that the company's image-generation tools were used to create sexually explicit images of them. The lawsuit seeks class-action status to represent other victims, particularly minors. One plaintiff, Jane Doe 1, discovered explicit images of herself online, altered from familiar photos. The perpetrator, arrested in December, had created similar images of at least 18 other girls. Unlike other AI companies, xAI has not restricted its tools from generating explicit content.
