Grok, the AI chatbot launched by Elon Musk after his takeover of X, unhesitatingly fulfilled a user’s request on Wednesday to generate an image of Renee Nicole Good in a bikini—the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent that morning in Minneapolis, as noted by CNN correspondent Hadas Gold and confirmed by the chatbot itself.
“I just saw someone request Grok on X put the image of the woman shot by ICE in MN, slumped over in her car, in a bikini. It complied,” Gold wrote on the social media platform on Thursday. “This is where we’re at.”
Grok created the images after an account made the request in response to a photo of Good, who was shot multiple times by federal immigration officer Jonathan Ross—identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune—while in her car, unmoving in the driver’s seat and apparently covered in her own blood.
After Grok complied, the account replied, “Never. Deleting. This. App.”
Idk - are they getting shittier, or is it getting easier to see?
Right. We are just better able to see how shitty people are. Thanks to the internet connecting us. And now thanks to tools allowing morons to easily make heinous imagery.
And sadly it makes it so shitty people can see each other, and embrace each other. It’s the downside of the “connecting the world” that Mark Zuckerberg goes on about.
But I also think this is why there is also truth to what the op said about people getting shittier. They fall down dark rabbit holes much easier now. They have bad ideas validated. They fail to find healthier relationships with others in the world. They isolate from local community and spend time immersed in negative cultures online.
