• •X is restricting Grok from generating images of real people in revealing clothing, but the standalone app/website still generates explicit content.
• •Multiple investigations and tests confirm that Grok's image generation is still able to generate sexualized content.
• •Musk's businesses have faced criticism and investigations over the creation of nonconsensual intimate imagery.
• •The new restrictions follow global outrage regarding Grok's ability to create harmful images of women and sexualized images of apparent minors.

X has implemented restrictions on Grok to prevent the generation of images depicting real people in revealing clothing, following widespread criticism over the creation of nonconsensual 'undressing' images.

Concerns persist about the platform's ability to fully control the creation of sexualized images, particularly given the historical issues and varying moderation experiences among users. While X has introduced some safety measures, the discrepancy between the platform and its standalone offerings raises questions about the effectiveness of these efforts and the ongoing challenges of regulating AI-generated content.
