The European Union has launched a wide-reaching investigation into Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot on X following global outrage over its ability to generate sexually explicit images, including of children.
The scandal erupted at the end of last year when the AI chatbot churned out a barrage of digitally undressed images of women and children in response to requests from users.
The global outcry that followed was met by an initial announcement by X that the tool would be limited to paying subscribers, but the company eventually prevented all users from using Grok to create images of real people in revealing clothing.
Great, great, so once again there will be a nice investigation, after which absolutely nothing will be done. It would save a lot of time and money not to investigate at all, but hey, the whole point seems to be that you can hide under the cosy cloak of the rule of law before letting the worst of the worst get away with all their crimes.
