"X added a new option within the image upload settings in the app that will enable users to block its Grok artificial intelligence bot from generating alternate versions of their uploaded media. The new option, available within the image/video upload flow in the post composer, includes a simple toggle that enables users to stop Grok from reimagining their material."
"In early January, the Grok nudification trend gained big momentum in the app, with Bloomberg reporting that, at one stage, Grok was generating around 6,700 images every hour that would be categorized as sexually suggestive or nudifying. Regulators in several nations called on X to remove the option to generate unauthorized nude images, but X owner Elon Musk initially refused to comply."
"X is now facing significant fines, as a result of multiple regional investigations into the incident. Maybe X will be able to negate at least some of those impacts if it can point to this control option, buried within its upload settings, that gives users the option to control whether their images can be edited by Grok."
X has added a new control option within its image upload settings that enables users to prevent Grok from creating alternate versions of their uploaded media. This update follows significant regulatory scrutiny after Grok was used to generate sexually suggestive and nude images of people without consent. In January, Grok generated approximately 6,700 such images hourly, prompting regulators worldwide to demand removal of the nudification feature. Although X initially resisted, the company eventually restricted Grok's ability to generate sexualized content and limited image generation to paying users. However, workarounds remained available. The new user control option may help X mitigate substantial fines from multiple regional investigations while providing users protection over their uploaded content.
