Musk’s chatbot flooded X with millions of sexualised images in days, new estimates show

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, created and then publicly shared at least 1.8 million sexualised images of women, according to separate estimates of X data by The New York Times and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Starting in late December, users on the social media platform inundated the chatbot’s X social media account with requests to alter real photos of women and children to remove their clothes, put them in bikinis and pose them in sexual positions, prompting a global outcry from victims and regulators.
