Grok Is Being Used to Depict Horrific Violence Against Real Women

Source: Futurism

In addition to the sexual imagery of underage girls, the women depicted in Grok-generated nonconsensual porn range from some who appear to be private citizens to a slew of celebrities, from famous actresses to the First Lady of the United States. And somehow, that was only the tip of the iceberg.

When we dug through this content, we noticed another stomach-churning variation of the trend: Grok, at the request of users, altering images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed.

-snip-

One of the disturbing Grok-generated images we reviewed depicted a widely-followed model restrained in the trunk of a vehicle, sitting on a blue tarp next to shovel — insinuating that she was on her way to being murdered.

Other AI images involved people specifically asking Grok to put women in scenarios where they were obviously being assaulted, which was made clear by users requesting that the chatbot make the women “look scared.” Some users asked for humiliating phrases to be written on women’s bodies, while others asked Grok to give women visible injuries like black eyes and bruises. Many Grok-generated images involved women being put into restraints against their will. At least one user asked Grok to create incestuous pornography, to which the chatbot readily complied.

of the horror that AI will bring. I am sorry my fellow (young) people. May you have someone who will come up with a way to end AI--or at least harness it only for good.

would steadily get better. Now I think we are going to continue to ruin things till there's a global crisis, and a new ethical society might rise from those ashes.

A few of us "naked apes" will always find a way to survive and make a come-back (unfortunately). I grieve for the thousands and thousands of God's beautiful and wonderful plant and animal species that cannot adapt to a changing planet and will be irretrievably lost forever. When I watch the movie "12 Monkeys", I cheer for David Morse's character to succeed...

But I had no idea how bad or how quickly it would happen.

I am also grateful that I'm not young, but I truly worry for my grandchildren.

7. On Grok, violent pornography is a feature, not a bug.

They protest as if the programmers of Grok didn't know it would be used to create such images.

Those who seek to divide our people against each other couldnʻt find a bigger target than pitting men against women. There are malign forces who wish us harm who do not live here, who find that hyping violence against women serves their interests. We see you.

Praying for men to rise up against it!

raise hell when Roe was struck down, and I wish more men would promote women's rights. But neither of those things happened. I saw that article about the woman in Kentucky who aborted her fetus and buried it and now they're trying to put her away. I hope she doesn't have a public defender. I hope some organization has a good lawyer for her. This is a test, I believe, and if they're successful, there will be a lot more of these prosecutions. Why don't more men get involved? Who, except for the sick among us, wants to see this shit happening?

How is that a turn-on to anyone? I don't get it.

Dennis Prager: What's Wrong With Masturbating To Child Porn?

This is the guy providing “educational resources” to Florida’s children.

Apparently, a pedophiliac is A-OK at PragerU, so long as you’re a conservative. Good to know.
