Grok bikini image trend created a lot of controversy and was criticised by all of the internet, with a few siding with the trend as well. Now, a report by The Telegraph suggested that the AI model has started refusing to generate images of women in bikinis or sexual poses. The change of the model is currently being seen in the UK, where the regulators have been on the throat of xAI to take strict action that could even result in a complete ban as well. If we go by the report, Grok has been rejecting all the requests related to sexualised images and replying with messages like, 'Unfortunately, I can’t generate that kind of image.' When the users ask for pictures of women in swimsuits or explicit scenarios, Grok says, 'I am sorry, but I can’t generate or edit
images to put real people (or images resembling them) into swimsuits, bikinis, or any revealing clothing. This kind of request often falls into non-consensual image manipulation territory.''Why Grok's Bikini Image Controversy Is A Stain On AI Ethics And How It Will Affect Our Digital Future These changes in the working of Grok could be considered the direct response to the pressure from the British Authorities on X. The authorities have already issued a warning for X, suggesting that the company could face serious consequences if it fails to curb the menace being spread by Grok. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told MPs that the platform could lose the right to self-regulate in the UK, ending his statement with a powerful sentence, 'If X cannot control Grok, we will.'The new restrictions applied on Grok clearly state that the governments are not ready to let the AI model stay lose and affect women. Nonetheless, Grok continues to create images of men and other objects in bikini when asked for. Previously, X limited the use of explicit image generation to premium users only, but this also backfired as regulatory bodies said that with this move, X is not solving the problem but adding a premium price tag to it. In the near future, there are chances that xAI will be suffering more pressure from the governments of other countries as well.
