While Grok has introduced belated safeguards to prevent sexualised AI imagery, other tools have far fewer limits
“Since discovering Grok AI, regular porn doesn’t do it for me anymore, it just sounds absurd now,” one enthusiast for the Elon Musk-owned AI chatbot wrote on Reddit. Another agreed: “If I want a really specific person, yes.”
If those who have been horrified by the distribution of sexualised imagery on Grok hoped that last week’s belated safeguards could put the genie back in the bottle, there are many such posts on Reddit and elsewhere that tell a different story.
And while Grok has undoubtedly transformed public understanding of the power of artificial intelligence, it has also pointed to a much wider problem: the growing availability of tools, and means of distribution, that present worldwide regulators with what many view as an impossible task. Even as the UK announces that creating nonconsensual sexual and intimate images will soon be a criminal offence, experts say that the use of AI to harm women has only just begun.
So it’s interesting you say that - because I tried doing some faceswap stuff with Trump and Baron Harkkonen and it was extremely time consuming, took forever to install, and the results were disappointing.
So there’s another aspect too: these people have absolutely nothing else going on!
I would say that would be an insult to House Harkonnen, but then I considered that Drumph might actually be the ancestor of one of those evil fucks.
Not the whole house, no. The house as a whole was pretty legit. But Baron Harkonnen, (which is interesting we only get his title) was a monster. And a pedophile. And grossly unhealthy. An ultimate backstabber. Traded intellect for cleverness. Power and wealth hungry, fuck all the rest types.
They are almost indistinguishable, other than Trump appears to be able to support his own weight.
