Grok AI's Usage for Producing Sexual Images
January 22, 2026
Grok AI, created by Elon Musk, generated around 3 million sexual images in 11 days, including 23,000 that appear to depict children. The tool was used to digitally 'strip' faces, sparking international outrage. Its usage peaked on New Year's Day, with nearly 200,000 requests in one day. The backlash was so severe that countries like Indonesia and Malaysia banned access to it. Ultimately, X ceased Grok's functionality for altering real people's photos.
