Elon Musk's Grok Imagine Launches 'Spicy Mode' for AI-Generated Adult Videos

• Elon Musk's xAI introduced Grok Imagine, a multimodal tool for generating animated video clips from text or images, currently in beta for iOS users.
• The tool offers four stylistic options, including a controversial 'Spicy Mode' that allows for the creation of NSFW content, such as risqué or semi-nude visuals with blurred moderation.
• Grok Imagine supports up to 15-second video generation and is available to SuperGrok and Premium+ subscribers on X (formerly Twitter).
• The 'Spicy Mode' has sparked debate due to its potential for misuse, including the creation of deepfakes and non-consensual sexualization, with reports of near-nude Taylor Swift-style videos.
• Critics, including advocacy groups, warn about weak age verification and moderation, raising concerns about public trust and legal implications.
