Elon Musk’s social media platform X has limited the image editing capabilities of its AI chatbot Grok to only paid subscribers. This means that now images will not be able to be edited for free on Grok through X. The company, which was in trouble after the bikini image trend, has taken this step. Actually, Grok was allowing people to undress by editing their images, after which many governments including India and Britain had sent notices to the company.
What was the matter?
Grok can be tagged directly on X, after which it responds based on the prompt. It also used to edit the uploaded photos. Through this, people were editing the photos of people on social media and removing their clothes. This trend was heavily criticized and even Elon Musk himself had to clarify about Grok’s role in it. The Indian government also took a strong stand and asked for clarification from the company, and talk of even banning it in Britain started.
What has changed now?
Now X has said that only paid subscribers i.e. users with blue tick can edit images on Grok. This means that only verified paid accounts can do image editing on Grok, whose name and payment details are stored with the company. However, this does not mean that users will not be able to edit images for free on Grok. They can edit images like before through Grok’s app or website. No information has been received yet as to how many technical safeguards have been introduced there.
Indian government also took a strong stand
The Indian government has also taken a strong stand regarding the bikini trend of Grok AI. The government has said that such content will not be tolerated in India and the company will have to immediately remove such content from its platform. In response, the government did not accept X’s clarification and said that the company will have to explain what steps it is taking to stop such trends in future.
