DC has a huge problem with youths starting shit all over town and the city refuses to do a damn thing about it. Most of the problem is that they are where they shouldn’t be, when they shouldn’t be there.

Grok’s ‘spicy’ video mode instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes | The Verge

The “spicy” mode for Grok’s new generative AI video tool feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. While other video generators like Google’s Veo and OpenAI’s Sora have safeguards in place to prevent users from creating NSFW content and celebrity deepfakes, Grok Imagine is happy to do both simultaneously. In fact, it didn’t hesitate to spit out fully uncensored topless videos of Taylor Swift the very first time I used it — without me even specifically asking the bot to take her clothes off.

Grok’s Imagine feature on iOS lets you generate pictures with a text prompt, then turn them quickly into video clips with four presets: “Custom,” “Normal,” “Fun,” and “Spicy.” While image generators often shy away from producing recognizable celebrities, I asked it to generate “Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys” and was met with a sprawling feed of more than 30 images to pick from, several of which already depicted Swift in revealing clothes.

From there, all I had to do was open a picture of Swift in a silver skirt and halter top, tap the “make video” option in the bottom right corner, select “spicy” from the drop-down menu, and confirm my birth year (something I wasn’t asked to do upon downloading the app, despite living in the UK, where the internet is now being age-gated.) The video promptly had Swift tear off her clothes and begin dancing in a thong for a largely indifferent AI-generated crowd.

The image generator will also make photorealistic pictures of children upon request, but thankfully refuses to animate them inappropriately, despite the “spicy” option still being available. You can still select it, but in all my tests, it just added generic movement.

Grok's 'Spicy' Mode Makes NSFW Celebrity Deepfakes of Women (But Not Men)

Gizmodo created about two dozen videos of politicians, celebrities, and tech figures using the Grok Spicy mode, though some were blurred out or came back with a message reading “video moderated.” When Grok did make scandalous images, it would only make the ones depicting women truly not-safe-for-work. Videos of men were the kind of thing that wouldn’t really raise many eyebrows.

X has been swamped over the past two days with AI-generated images of naked women and tips on how to achieve the most nudity. But users, who’ve created tens of millions of Grok Imagine images according to Musk, don’t even need to go to some great effort to get deepfakes of naked celebrities. Gizmodo didn’t explicitly ask for nudity in the examples we cite in this article, but we still got plenty of it. All we did was click on the Spicy button, which is one of four options, along with Custom, Fun, and Normal.

Gizmodo tested Grok Imagine by generating videos of not just Taylor Swift, but other prominent women like Melania Trump and historical figures like Martha Washington. Melania Trump has been a vocal supporter of the Take It Down Act, which makes it illegal to publish non-consensual “intimate imagery,” including deepfakes.

Grok also created a not-safe-for-work video of the late feminist writer Valerie Solanas, author of 1967’s S.C.U.M Manifesto. Almost all of the videos depicted the women that we tested as shedding clothes to make them naked from the waist up, though the video of Solanas was unique in that it did show her completely naked.

What happens when you try to generate Spicy videos of men? The AI will have the male figure take off his shirt, but there’s nothing more scandalous than that. When Gizmodo figured out that it would only remove a man’s shirt, we prompted the AI to create a shirtless image of Elon Musk and see what it might do with that. The result was the extremely ridiculous (and safe-for-work) video you see below.

^^^ ...... in violation of a new Federal law sponsored by....this is fantastic....Ted Cruz.

Quote

The law makes non-consensual posting or threats to post real, fake or altered “intimate visual depictions” online a federal crime. Posting such depictions could lead to fines and sentences of up to two years for posting depictions of adults and up to three years in prison for posting images of minors.

I'm sure the DOJ will get RIGHT ON enforcing the law here, right?

Depends on what day of the week it is, Trump may try to shut him down, or Abbott may force age verification on x.com.
