The calls for a ban follow Grok generating sexualised images of women and minors.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has waded into the stormy seas of arguments around banning Grok and the platform the AI chabot is held on. Following Grok’s Imagine feature being abused by Twitter/X users to create indecent images of children and sexualise women without their consent, there have been calls for the chatbot and X itself to be banned by governments.
Sweeney doesn’t agree with any kind of ban, and believes that all AI models «go off the rails» from time to time. «All major AIs have documented instances of going off the rails; all major AI companies make their best efforts to combat this; none are perfect.
