Grok Think about, xAI’s new AI picture and video generator, enables you to make NSFW content material

Elon Musk’s AI firm has formally rolled out Grok Think about, xAI’s picture and video generator, to all SuperGrok and Premium+ X subscribers on its iOS app. And true to kind for Musk, who positions Grok as an unfiltered, boundary-pushing AI, the generator permits customers to make NSFW content material. 

Grok Think about, which guarantees to show textual content or picture prompts right into a 15-second video that includes native audio, has a “spicy mode” that permits customers to generate sexually specific content material, together with partial feminine nudity . There are limits to how specific one can get. Lots of our spicier prompts — made within the identify of Journalism! — generate blurred-out pictures which might be “moderated” and due to this fact inaccessible. We had been, nonetheless, in a position to generate semi-nude imagery. 

The NSFW content material is unsurprising for xAI, given the discharge final month of a raunchy, hyper-sexualized anime AI companion. However simply as Grok’s unrestrained nature was entertaining till it began spewing hateful, antisemitic, misogynistic content material, Grok Think about may very well be poised to deliver its personal set of unintended penalties. 

CNBC first reported the existence of a “spicy mode” final week after xAI worker Mati Roy stated in a now-deleted publish on X: “Grok Think about movies have a spicy mode that may do nudity.” 

TechCrunch has reached out to xAI for extra data. 

The prevailing limitations with Grok Think about are considerably heartening given the mannequin additionally enables you to create content material of celebrities — anybody from Donald Trump to Taylor Swift — and there seem like further restrictions on these. For instance, TechCrunch tried, and failed, to generate a picture of Trump pregnant. Grok Think about solely generated pictures of Trump holding a child or subsequent to a pregnant lady. 

Whereas it’s nonetheless early days for Grok Think about, which goals to compete with incumbents like Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Runway, and Chinese language rivals, the photographs and movies generated of people are nonetheless a bit misplaced within the uncanny valley, with waxy-looking pores and skin that verges on cartoonish at occasions. 

Nonetheless, the generator is spectacular. It produces pictures in seconds from a textual content immediate, and continues to auto-generate new pictures as you scroll. These pictures can then be animated into stylized movies. The consumer interface can be seamless and intuitive. 

Musk stated on X that the mannequin would “get higher each day.”
