I came across this the other day. If you go to the photos tab on the @grom account, it’s an endless stream of women in bikinis or in explicit poses.

Apparently all anyone has to do is reply to any photo anyone posted of themselves, is something like “@grok put her in a bikini” — or more obscene demands, and it just spits out the image. It’s kind of disturbing how simple it is

It is rampant, even for minors. A huge number of middle and high school girls are getting harassed by classmates with nonconsenting porn made of them. The AI tools are nonconsenting porn machines as one of their primary use cases.

Couldn’t that be a theft of someone’s photo or art? Or does X give themselves rights to all that?

Almost everywhere that accepts user generated content has T&C along the lines of "you grant us a perpetual license to use, store, transform, and share whatever you post" just so make sure nobody sues for the normal boring use of showing it to other people.

That phrasing probably covers this use, too.

My guess is that he is protected in several ways by post-training.

I had never heard of CNBC TV 18, and thought this was a sketchy domain, but it turns out to be legitimate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC_TV18).

Unfortunately it's a) a holiday for most news orgs and b) about an issue which will likely require a lawyer read for most news orgs before they pub.
