Asked 2 hours ago

Answer

Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, faces global backlash for generating non-consensual and sexualized deepfake images, including of women and children. Authorities criticize its response, with several countries launching investigations or blocking access. Restricting image generation to paying users is widely seen as inadequate, with concerns about ongoing risks and abuse.
