Giving Elon an image generator is like giving a toddler a bucket of paint, both is guaranteed to mess up the house

I’m still waiting for even one argument for the usefulness of AI image generation that isn’t fucked up. Just one.

Grok seems so support nudity and deepfakes too according to some news articles I’ve seen because of course nothing screams more free speech than plastering the face of your favorite actor or political opponent into a porn scene, so now let’s see how long it takes the first bluecheck fucker to try and create CSAM with it, because I suppose that’ll be the point when it gets too hot even for Elon.

I really wish we would stop calling shitty tech products (such as this) the invention of billionares like Elon Musk. He probably did jackshit during the development of this.

You have only begun to understand what us possible https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_s4C8ltL_04&pp=ygUQZ2hvc3QgYnJhaW4gbGl2ZQ%3D%3D

I'm glad the model doesn't have heavy censorship applied like some of the others.

You just know that if Elon wasn't trying to rehabilitate his whole "free speech" image, he'd have blocked anything that could criticize his views, while allowing everything that could criticize his opponents.

I've already seen people go absolutely fucking crazy with this - from people posting trans-supportive Muskrat pictures to people making fucked-up images with Nintendo/Disney characters, the utter lack of guardrails has led to predictable chaos.

Between the cost of running an LLM and the potential lawsuits this can unleash, part of me suspects this might end up being what ultimately does in Twitter.
